I think it is always worth it. Sometimes you find out what you are already playing is what you need or you have a predetermined club in my mind, but once you see the numbers realize there is a better option. I recently did an iron fitting but mentioned that I was thinking of upgrading my hybrid (I play it instead of a 3 iron). In the end, I had ordered a mixed iron set (T350 4-5, T200 6-9) and a 7 wood in lieu of the hybrid.

I recently did a Titleist fitting for irons. I was so impressed with the whole experience I scheduled one for a driver and fairway wood. It was an equally great experience. I would highly recommend getting fit. It is a good way to be sure the clubs are the best fit for you and your swing.

Welcome bag to golf.

Nobody recommends buying clubs you haven't been fit for unless one has enough history to shop used.

Each segment of your bag should fill a gap to get the best results to get the ball in the hole the fastest. Between your driver and irons, you should maintain a 10-15 yard distance gap. If you were to get fit using your current clubs as a starting point, you should be able to find what iron is the longest you can hit for best effect and a combination of hybrids, fairways, or driving irons to get from that iron to the driver.

If working with a club pro, they generally tend to not be rich, so if $$ is an object, there could be some recommendations of what used could work for you. Once you buy used irons, there is little to gain by trying to do a fitting with them. Other than to adjust loft or lie. There isn's a fitting iron for a 718 iron to try different shafts. Between the cost of the iron set and the cost of re-shafting the irons ($50-100 per club), the cost is close to the cost of a new set fit directly to you. The fitter should be honest to tell you if the AP3's are a really bad idea or close enough to keep as is.

Who you don't want to be like is me, when I ended up with 3 clubs between irons and driver that were all within the same +/- 5 yard range.... More proof Dear Abby gives better personal advice than I do with golf advice to myself.

As a complete newb when I got fitted, I would say it was worth it. I took lessons for about a year or so before I got fitted and I think it helped a ton after I was able to understand how my body moved and how my swing was. For me it was well worth it as I'm a nerd and really enjoyed not only the experience but also the explanation that my fitter gave me as far as data goes. I will say that not all fittings will allow for that but mine did b/c I was the only one scheduled for a solid 2-3 hours so I felt like I got the VIP treatment.

100%

Normally getting a fitting is the first step. You always want to ensure you have the right combination. Head and shaft. Do you need a stiff or a regular, steel or graphite? You can, to see if the lie is good for you and the length is correct. Those two items can be corrected for an additional cost, plus the cost of the fitting. Always good to know that you are playing the right clubs for your swing. With the newer T series, fitters are blending models to get maximum efficiency for players. The T series (100, 150, 200, 350) are all forged. Best of luck with your fitting.

It's really the only way you will know for sure that you are getting the max for your potential. Golf equipment t is very expensive to just do trial and error and trade in's every time. You might luck into something that works but it may or may not be ideal for you so you might be passing on scoring opportunities that you would get from properly fit equipment. That might be more distance but could also be trajectory and consistency.

Went to a Titleist fitting last year for my T200 irons and a T350 4 iron along with new SMS9 wedges. Love them all. Recently started testing out some drivers at a local golf galaxy as a way to narrow down the head and shafts I will likely purchase. Of course no decisions made until I attend another Titleist fitting for the woods/metals. I cannot stress enough the benefits of a good fitting (and fitter). If you truly enjoy the game and really want to improve having the proper equipment and customized settings (loft, lie, weight, shaft flex/weight, etc) all play a role in your game. I know it's not free, but you will thank yourself later when your scores come down and those new clubs feel like a trusted set you can't live without down the road. My two cents.

I just did a Titleist driver fitting outdoors and it was great will never do another indoor fitting the fitter Cameron Buckley was great made me feel comfortable thru the whole process. Plus with the outdoor fitting you can see your ball flight it was the only way to get fit for me.

Yup. No matter how sophisticated the software in a hitting bay, the landing is just an estimate, not a true measurement.

Hey all, I’m looking to make an appointment at Manchester Lane, reaching out today but I’m sure all spots are booked. Really looking for a 1 hour driver fitting because like an idiot, the only club I never got properly fitted for. Anyone have any experience there, and an estimate on how much over retail I should be expect to be spending (assuming non standard shafts on top….)

You can look up fittings on the web page and there will be telephone number to call for an appointment to either TPI or Manchester Lane. The person on the call can check availability and the minimum charge.

Titleist sponsors trained fitters at more local location. They are experts and charge a refundable $100 with a purchase of 1 hour of fitting time.

I had a fitting on Saturday 4th at golf at goodwood, came away with a TSR2 11 degree driver and T200 iron 6 / GW.
Stanley Lewis the club fitter, did a great job. And honest with the fitting, never tried to over sell me clubs, was always tinkering with the club loft and shaft, lie angle you name it. Such a great fitting, thank you Stanley, can’t wait for delivery!!

If you do it....you'll be glad you did!!!

This is a no brainer. If you are making an investment in a new set of irons, it is worth the effort and you’ll not be disappointed. You may pay for the fitting but money you pay for the fitting will also go toward your new set of clubs. If you are in the Charlotte NC area I highly recommend working with Matt Mosca. He’s a true professional.
