Clubs can be built by Club Champion without shaft puring. Mine were.
Mine as well.

Negative, I was not. This was just raw clubs shipped from the manufacturer and checking loft/lie (both shops are doing these). The invoice was exactly the same at the end of the day. They over-charged drastically for heads and shafts at CC in my experience and they explicitly said the price was the price.
They weight sort heads and shafts to ensure the final build is to spec. You also get a playability guarantee.

My specs were off and erratic on my CC order, and I live 2 hours away so not a trivial thing to swing by, then blamed me for it.
Once again, not worth $700 extra. There is a lot of baked in stuff you are paying for as if it's a palpable product or service.
To each their own, but I am heavily against CC.
I can assure you I’m not begging for their success. I do, however, understand parts of their pricing. I don’t agree with how much they charge, but I understand a percentage of it.
It’s obviously not valuable to you as far as what they do. That’s perfectly fine. I am not saying you need to bend to them, but was saying they aren’t just ordering clubs from OEM and upcharging you for nothing.
this - a good, experienced fitter should be able to manage the time with you and any limitations - a bad experience travels a long way on social media .....If the fitter sees you starting to get fatigued, he/she should pull you off and let you rest and reset for a bit.
Are you working with Highland Ranch CC? I had good luck with them, though they didn't seem able to recognize me when I went back in to pick up my club order.
Westminister. I am staying in Boulder and chose that one for proximity. It will be interesting. Going through the feedback has me a little nervous about spending the money, but I am going to stick with my plan. I frequent 3 small local shops with either GCQuad or Trackman and have hit a lot of clubs and shafts over the past year, including every new release I could try in recent months. The main limitation is that shaft selections are limited and many shafts I like are only with one OEM fitting kit. But I will have some good ideas on where to start and what I like.
I'm a bit of a dissenting voice with my personal fitting experiences, but
That wasn't much of what my fitting was focused on. It's less of a demo day try a bunch of combos and more focused on taking one or two swings and trying to move forwards.
There was no talk of gapping besides, "the PW is 46*, so you should get a 50* gap wedge."
Still not sure what an indoor wedge fitting is supposed to accomplish.
And the putter fitting was the single biggest waste of money I've spent on golf ever.
I do think a lot of it is fitter dependent. Also, managing expectations like you are doing is key. I went in prior to joining THP and pretty ignorant about clubs and club fitting and I'm pretty sure I got treated that way.
hope that helps.
If the fitter is good and experienced, you can do it in one day and shouldn't have to swing more than...
50-60 swings for an iron fitting
40-50 swings for driver
40-50 swings for fairways/hybrids
30-40 swings for wedges
I try to keep full bag fittings under 200 total swings IF we are doing it in one day. I prefer to split them up into two day, but that isn't always possible. I also like to strategically break up the golfers rhythm for two reasons, to keep endurance up and not let them get into a "fitting rhythm" that isn't realistic on the course.
Just go into it having a good meal an hour or so before your fitting. I don't know if CC provides drinks or snacks, so maybe bring some sports drinks/waters and some healthy snacks to keep energy levels high. If the fitter sees you starting to get fatigued, he/she should pull you off and let you rest and reset for a bit.
On a driving range I guess 90% of players become fatigued after about 50 shots. Playing a golf course a player shooting 90 is probably making 35 to 40 full swings.
So , if a weekend average amateur hits a bucket of balls and plays a round of golf I am thinking he has made approximately 100 full swings for the day.
If I went to a full bag fitting I think any more than 10 full swings each with driver, fairway, hybrid, iron, a total of 40 swings, would cause me to be a bit fatigued and my swing could start to deteriorate.
I agree that "fitting rhythm" is real and to avoid that I guess my preference would be to make one driver swing, followed by an iron swing, followed by a hybrid swing, then maybe a small wedge swing. Take a break for a minute, then repeat. The idea being to simulate the progression of clubs swung during a round of golf as much as possible.
Arrived a little early, sitting in my car making sure I have my goals clear. I will update later today.
