Club Champion

Anyone have experience getting fitted at Club Champion?
I would assume it is a better fitting experience than a Golf Galaxy. But how do the prices compare when purchasing a set?

They do a good job with a way more detailed explanation and they have a ton of options. Their prices tend to be much higher than normal market prices. You can get your information from them and piece it all together online or just buy from them to avoid the hassle and wait times to assemble your set.

Prepare to spend 2k for 1k irons and 1k for $500 driver.

Good info.
Expensive.
The thing I did not like was you basically swing a 6 iron to get fitted for irons.
I am bought maybe I should go 6 hybrid and have first iron in bag as a 7.
They did not recommend I buy new irons. The difference in performance was negligible compared to the irons I was playing then.
Whole bag fitting was too much for this old back.
I did buy a really expensive driver/shaft.I like the club, but it probably was overkill.

It’s all case by case. Depends on the level of golfer you are. If you’re new then I’d just go to some retail place. It will be good enough. If you’re serious about your game then it’s extremely valuable. Idk why people get so upset over the pricing. They have their model and it works for them. It’s all A la carte. Stock option shafts provided by club manufacturers have to be paid for. They are getting heads and shafts separately. Do i agree with it? No. But they don’t force you to but from them. You’re paying for a fitting not clubs. They show you information and numbers. If you like what you see they hand your specs along with a price to buy from them. They will also work with you on a budget to help you. You’re more than free to grab your specs and buy straight from most manufacturers. I tend to buy all my irons and wedges from the manufacturer and buy my drivers straight from them. Again it all depends on what you’re fit in but i recommend you not but immediately. Do your homework and price is out online. You get fit into a Projext X shaft in irons or driver then you are better off buying yourself from the manufacturer. Things like ctaper, some graphite shafts, s taper, some tour issue dg shafts the price isn’t all that different with irons from CC to the manufacturer. I paid the same amount for my Tsi3 with la golf shaft from them than i would have online or from anywhere. So again it just all depends on what you get fit into.

Did several years ago. They do a thorough job and don’t pressure you to buy from them.

Haven’t done club champion yet, or at least it’s been years. There is one by my house though and have wondered the same thing. They seem solid.
You want to know where the worst experience to get fitted would be? PXG. I did not get fitted there, just dropped in the store to see what all the hype was about. I picked up a club at one of their monitors/bays and the guy let me hit one shot before he told me that I would need a reservation before hitting any more.. Rubbed me the wrong way and got the hell outta there. I don’t buy the hype, I don’t like their marketing scheme, and their crap is overpriced.

I went to the one in Mandeville and it was a great experience. That a lot of options and spent a lot of time trying different things
Even though I ordered a club from them, it was still about $250 more than other places, but they discounted the fitting price.
Either way I know I overpaid a bit but I enjoyed the fitting experience.
