Getting fitted with a bad swing

I have a terrible golf swing. Is it still worth getting fitted for a new driver and woods? I'm wondering if it might make more sense to just buy off the shelf and work on my swing, then maybe get fitted for a different shaft or grips later.

I have never been fitted for this reason. I don't believe those clubs will make you an ounce better, but you could be holding yourself back from a better game if you get a repeating swing and then need to be fitted later to maximize your progress.

are you getting lessons soon? If yes, do not get fitted.
If no, then yes, get fitted. Getting clubs to fit a bad swing is still better than playing the wrong clubs for a bad swing.

I mixed. Part of me thinks a fitting only really helps the low handicappers as they prob have a consistent enough swing to measure off of.
I’m a different golfer every month, constantly tweaking things in my swing to just try to hit the ball decent. I’m not sure getting fitted to whatever my swing is that day will really make a difference.

Getting fitted doesn't really matter until you have a remotely repeatable swing
The exception to this would be if you have wildly incorrect clubs (way to short/long or senior flex shafts).
Now, if you have no intention of practicing and/or getting lessons, go ahead and buy new clubs. It'll help some, but not a ton.

you should probably get length and lie checked. that's more of a setup deal than actual swing based fitting. no need for anything else until you get a repeatable swing.

If you don’t have a consistent swing they can’t fit you.
If they do they’re just selling you clubs at that point.

Lessons first. Fitting next.

I would get a decent set of used clubs. Probably stiff shaft, take some lessons with those, as you improve and get more consistent start upgrading with the strongest part of your game first.
You can get a great deal on sightly used clubs
2nd swing is a good place to start looking.
I would also look locally, allot of people play and try out different equipment, then move on to something else. Lol, ask me how I know
Where are you located?

Fix the swing first. Getting fitted won’t do anything if the swing is inconsistently bad.
