The "free upgrade" shafts from the manufactures are often not the same as the one you would get from Club Champion or similar fitters/club builders. If looking to source cheaper components I would try Dallas golf website.
Lots of people playing Taylor Made drivers with a Ventus shaft that is not the premium model with velocore

Took my son for a fitting at CC. They were great! $100 whole bag fitting with the stipulation you have to buy at least 1 club and the $100 went towards the cost. We went through the whole bag, he must have hit 500 golf balls. After we were done, we purchased a putter for $250 and he gave us the specs for the rest of the clubs he was fitted for. Took this to my nephew who is a club pro at a CC and he got us cost plus 10% for the rest of the clubs. Saved over $1000. Got fitted a gain a couple years later for irons and got into Ping Blueprint S, retail $1599. He now works at the CC here in town and got them at cost for $950. There is a lot of markup in clubs.

You’re going to spend double what you would buying them anywhere else.

I like CC a lot but I have a hard time thinking it is worth it for an 8th grader

Putter/Wedges
I base it mostly on mats versus grass.
Wedges need versatility. Hard to do on a mat.
Putter requires a lot of personal experience on putting green.
I do agree that putter and wedges are absolutely crucial.

I find them to be the absolute worse and king of upgrades - depends on who you get I suppose - but they are trained to tell you the stock shafts for Titelist are crap (that’s nonsense) and sucker you into a shaft that was from a mineral core in Antarctica … great fitters at PGA Superstore or other local places - go to nicest club and get recommendations on club fitters

they are selling you a $1,000+ driver for almost $1,200 if you buy the puring.
You're leaving out the part where most OEMs will offer plenty of those premium shafts at a discount.
Also their quotes on raw shafts are always above what you would pay ordering the shaft from one of a dozen reputable vendors.
