Sad to see, but I really think online retailers is the main culprit here. People try in store and then go buy online instead of supporting the business. My experiences at big name stores are disappointing at best. I seem to know more about spin rates and launch angles than the guy that is supposedly there to help me and should be more knowledgeable. Heck one time I was at GS hitting balls on the LM and the guy next to me comes over and says man that sounds sweet, what are your numbers? He takes a look and we started talking ourselves about what would fit me best. I didn't even get any help from a salesperson in this case so I didn't feel bad about not buying the driver. Plus I cant rely on LM numbers hitting into a net. I just can't. I need to see ball flight and I don't know if its really true or not, but I have heard stories about the LM's being altered to show better numbers in store, but thats a whole different discussion.
As far as Dick's at least around here their "fitting" studio is basically a closet with a LM and a net. Not something thats very inviting if you ask me. I never see anyone in their golf area when I stop in. Never.
