I think there's a couple things going on, and frankly it's not that different from a traditional fitting on something like a Trackman or a GC Quad... If you don't have the comprehension of what needs to be right (let's say launch angle, spin window, shape of a driver flight), you're relying purely on the fitter and focusing on total yardage and shot shape to make a determination on what works - and maybe feedback in the hands/sound.Do you think most fitters explain the data in a way that is understood by people? Maybe what we have here is a FITTER problem for those who have had bad experiences more so than a FITTING problem.
Translate that into a putter fitting, and if you're looking with glossed eyes at a screen and relying on sound and holed putts to dictate a fitting, I think it's not really even scratching the surface on what something like SAM can do. It takes a great fitter to break down each element and talk through why a certain length/shape/alignment/etc works for your stroke. Anything less than that is a disservice to what SAM can provide.
