I booked an iron fitting for tomorrow at $100...for the extra $75 ill probably ask tomorrow if we can schedule another day for the rest of the bag if possible. I mainly want to get a real putter fitting since ive never done that before. Im very confident nothing will be better than the woods and shafts I have now
How did it go with your fitting and Alex?Well, like I've mentioned before I'm getting a full bag fitting done this coming Friday as already mentioned in a couple of other threads. After reading the comments expressed here it kinda just reinforced the idea that I've made a good decision. My game plan is to go into this with an open mind and see where it takes me. My fitting will be at the Schaumburg, I'm location. The gentleman's name that will be working with me is Alex.

Congrats on the new irons and glad to you enjoyed the experience. I am going to see Jeff at the end of the month.Went for my fitting this morning in Cincinnati. Jeff was great and it was an eye opening experience. The good news for my wallet is the only thing that got beat were my irons. And they got b*tch slapped.
He made a loft & lie adjustment on my putter and all of the sudden I was making everything. Who knew 2* would’ve made that big of a difference.
My driver, fw’s, and wedges are all good. I was kinda bummed that we couldn’t find anything to beat them but I’m happy to say he didn’t try to sell me on replacing anything. As a matter of fact he said I’d be stupid to replace my driver and wedges. We did find some gains with some fw’s but not enough to justify the cost of replacing them.
I also found out I hate every hybrid on the face of the earth. I will be purchasing a 9w sometime in the near future.
Irons were a different story. My swing was crap today. But I did hit enough good ones to make apples to apples comparisons. The numbers looked kinda funky to me but he said I’d see a little loss of distance and spin because of the mat so we were going to concentrate on ball speed, height, and dispersion.
I hit my gamer and saw the loss of distance like he said but it gave us a base line. We started with the UHX because I had mentioned being interested in it. I probably hit 15 different shafts in it trying to find the one. Some were ok, some werea no-go from the first swing.
He thought we found it in the new MMT so we changed club heads to the Callaway Apex. Nope. Ol’ LLIB ain’t got the game for those. Moved to the Rogue X. Nope. Too much offset, everything is going left.
On a whim he grabbed a Forged Tec and an Accra 80icw to try to get a little more height. I need the height. The first swing yielded a 13mph ball speed increase, 40 more feet of height, and dead straight. We hit some more and then hit my gamer to make sure I just wasn’t in a groove. Nope. The Forged Tec/Accra combo averaged 10mph more ball speed, 35ft more height, and 30yds more carry.
I should have them towards the end of next week

The promo on the site says “booked and completed between” so I think the only way you would be able to arrange that is trying to swing a deal by phone. They are pretty accommodating so definitely give them a call.With this $175 deal, will they let you schedule the fitting out past Jan 31 as long as you purchase prior to that?
Good stuff Brian. They’re definitely expensive and my only problem with them is that they use strictly exotic or aftermarket shafts, rarely stock shafts. Check out fairway jockey for the shafts you’re looking for as I’ve found better deals there.A few thoughts from my experience today - I did a full bag fitting, split into 2 sessions. A full fitting is supposed to take 3.5 hours. Well, in my 2 sessions, I had the full attention of the fitter for 5.5 hours! 2 hours on Monday, and 3.5 today. He told me today that 3 people must have overloaded on turkey as they had 3 cancellations, so we can take as long as we needed. That in and of itself was really cool. Great customer service.
The bad news - my ideal set up for the full bag would cost... $6,005.00. He couldn’t even make it $5,999 - had to be $6,005. Holy smokes. He said something about 10% off for the heads but not the shafts, but the sticker shock had already settled in at that point. I didn’t purchase anything through them - walked out the door just short $175 for the fitting but armed with a much better idea of what will work better for me. More in separate posts as I digest the numbers over the next few days. There will be a new driver, and already took steps to make that happen with some deals going on - thank you callaway pre-owned. More on that later. Need to think about the rest of the bag.
Hah - Already purchased from fairway jockey last night! I found good deals can be found on thepeoplesclubs too.Good stuff Brian.

I figured as much. They're close to me. I'll probably stop in to talk to them. I would hesitate to go in now, but I'd like a chance to get the new swing where it needs to be.The promo on the site says “booked and completed between” so I think the only way you would be able to arrange that is trying to swing a deal by phone.
