I am really curious as to how the club pricing is going to work out. They say, for example, for a $399 driver that that is what you'll pay, except now add the new shaft to that. Do they basically then order the shaft separate and charge full retail added to the $399 or do they order the club from the manufacturer to your specs with the new shaft so it would be an "upgrade" charge instead of a full charge for the shaft? I had a fitting several years ago just swapping shafts on the set of irons I owned at the time and that cost me almost as much as the set of irons did originally.
they charge full retail for club and shaft. What I did is I took fitter recommendations, purchased shaft(s) online and grips, took to them to assemble. He just charged me what I think is a nominal cost to install shaft to length/lie and swing weight. I think it was around $20.I am really curious as to how the club pricing is going to work out.

Trevor at the Houston location said that they could just order the heads and shafts seperately. He also stated that shafts are weight sorted by them and that if they build you a set they can/will show you that each club weighs as it should and has the proper swing weigth. I assume that the clubs in an iron set should progressively weigh more as the clubs get longer?
He said that they have the machine locally to spine align clubs, but that the SST Pure process was only done in Chicago.
I don't think you should wait, but then you might need to go back once you improve your game. people put way, way too much emphasis on handicap. high scores happen for any number of reasons. I've been beaten by guys who had nothing that resembled a "proper" golf swing and I've beaten guys who looked like pros on the range. I have no idea where your game is on that spectrum and IMO your HCP isn't a good indicator of how much you can benefit from a fitting. properly fit equipment really does help you get to the ball more consistently, which will help no matter what issue you are working on. One thing for sure though, it won't hurt. It might just make this game a lot easier!
Like it was said to me by my fitter, a guy with a higher handicap benefits from being fitted because they need something that fits there swing while a guy that is scratch or low hdcp can adjust to an off the rack irons/driver/woods if that makes sense.
