Anyone used them? They have 50% off full bag fittings through the end of March, claim they opened at the end of January off of Veterans?

I heard a guy from Money Hill was going to be running it or working there. That is all I have heard.

I'm familiar with the one here in Houston. Very good but ordering clubs in very pricy. They charge by components. They use all upgraded shafts. So, for example, retail set of irons at a PGA Superstore is 1200 for 8 clubs. So the heads at Club Champion would run $150 each. Then they fit you for shafts, which are 75 each, thats another 600, so now 1800, grips 10 each plus install 1900. Shaft puring 30 each, now youre at 2150.

That is a major point of getting fitted.

It depends on the club. Lots of OEMs have decent iron shaft upgrades without additional costs.

IMO, the best way to utilize fittings like this are to just get the numbers and use them to buy the sticks another way. Either ebay or through your club getting an extra discount.

ETA: Full bag fittings done all at once is also a bad idea. First, look at the time allotted. 3.5 hours for all woods, irons, wedges, and putter. But if you do those individually, it adds up to 5 hours. So you and your fitter will be rushed through at least part of the bag. And rushing isn't something you'll want to do when you are taking so many swings. You should be tired after a true woods fitting. And then you're supposed to do irons? And if you're not tired after woods, you definitely will be after irons, then you're supposed to do wedges? Riiiigght....

I’m just really after a driver fitting but since it’s $175 for the whole bag I may as well check my specs on the irons, wedges and putter while there.

Not necessarily. The major point of getting fitted is finding the right shaft, that could be a non upgraded shaft.

At the Club Champion in Houston, you can purchase the full bag fitting when it is 50% off and then go in at separate times for different portions of the fitting.

Yeah, that is a good point. The right shaft many times costs extra though.

I wouldn't do the full club fitting in one day as others have mentioned.

Did mine in back to back days, back in December. Fairway woods and hybrids, irons and wedges day after. I had already done the driver and putter fitting in September.

I did a search and came across this thread. Care to elaborate? I'm looking to do a whole bag fitting some time in the next few months.

Club champ allows you to do the full bag fittings in multiple sessions

I’ve gone through Bebu and club champ and agree he (he used to be a club champ employee in Maryland) is the superior option

Neither is cheap if ordering clubs through them
