Me and 3 of my golf friends all got irons from him within a 2 month span. All 4 got different brand irons and shafts

So you immediately crawfish from claiming he pushes an agenda (which is the exact opposite of the truth) to saying your real beef is indoors vs outdoors which is completely irrelevant with regards to Buddha vs Club Champion.

Thank you for all of the feedback. Based on the majority of the recommendations, I booked an appointment @ Bebu for mid March.

Buddha was with pxg, but I think he is with Ping now, at least that is what he said.

But I still recommend him.

Had a driver fitting at Bebu yesterday. In 2 hours, I probably swung 18-20 different setups and we analyzed each one to hone in what fit best for me.

Once we narrowed it down to 3 shafts and he actually recommended the cheapest based on my numbers.

Plan to go back for irons.

Did he have the latest Callaway driver heads when you went? I’m suppose to go back and try those when he gets them in. Didn’t have them a few weeks ago when I went.

Officially, only staffers have them for use. Most places have the demos locked in a back room until 2/18 which is when I believe they are allowed to display/test them. I could be wrong on that exact date though.

ETA: I know you can pre order now, so maybe demos are allowed to be used already. 2/18 is the "go live" date for same-day sales and delivery of pre orders.

I hit it at my fitters place a couple of weeks ago and it's being tested online so I assume it's avaliable for test.

Or he may have just let me hit it anyway, but I hit it Sim 2 and Ping that also release in the next week or two.

I was able to get my hands on one back in January as well. I just didn't want to give false info so I went on the conservative side.

no fitting in the world is going to make drastic improvements for any amateur golfer

The key word is "drastic." I probably agree. One of the guys in my golf league is a 90's gofer with a HUGE slice and no distance. He's a big guy and we couldn't figure out why he was not getting adequate club head speed. Went to a PGA Superstore and tried different shafts. Was not dramatic, but it was a big difference playing with the correct equipment for his swing. He's hitting a lot more fairways.

I hit the Callaway Epic Speed series, TM SIM2 series and PING G425 series at my fitting on 1/25. The new Mizuno was available to hit as well, but it's not adjustable for loft/lie, so I didn't bother to hit it.

Well Harbaugh has a college natty and a Super Bowl appearance on his resume on top of his success with Stanford.

He’s lifetime worthy and Buddha is the best worthy of a better location than the shitehole NOLA. Shocked he makes his business work in the golf poor region.

You bumped a 3 year old thread to hit us with this nonsense?

Get a water baw.

I haven’t heard John Joy’s name in a while. Is he still at Le Triomphe?

Would everyone still recommend Buddha for a putter fitting? Both have SAM Lab, I won’t buy from either since I have pro shop credit.
