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.

That's possible, but my current stuff is 15+ years old and was purchased off the shelf. I'm treating myself to a new driver and woods this year, and then getting some lessons.

There may be some experts who can chime in on this topic, but until then I'll share my anecdotal .02 cents. When I started, I had the same thought process as you (which very well might be the true right way to do it). So, I worked on my game until I got to ~12 handicap and went to get fitted while I was swinging it well.

The first 3-4 months with the new irons were awful. I was lost again and maybe I should've waited longer to get fitted, idk. Fast forward to today and I'm playing well again thankfully but that certainly was no "honeymoon period" intially after getting fitted into new clubs.
