Hope you like Mizunos

I’ve done three fittings with Buddha. Driver, Putter, Irons. Super satisfied with every experience. The work is fast, high quality and has gotten me results. Not once has he pushed a brand on me and he talked me out of a new driver head and focused on the shaft when I did a driver fitting. For my putter fitting, he said “this is the type putter that will best fit your stroke. Here are four different companies that produce a model that will work for you. If you want to order from me, I’d be happy to do it. Here are your specs if you want to buy it elsewhere”

My Club Champion experience was phenomenal! Prices of the clubs were in par with any major retailer. You just need to go in there with the mindset that there is a premium to pay for good shafts, which is honestly the most important component of a club that can make the biggest difference.

Their prices are all a la carte My price for my mizuno irons from them was $2500

I bought them with exact shaft and specs from mizuno through Edwin watts for $1250

Quote for driver, irons and wedges was around $3800

Huh? No a whole set. The video on golftec says they upgrade your shaft with custom shaft at same price as the stock shaft. True ??

Gotcha Thanks

I've done a driver and an iron fitting with Buddha, would highly recommend. Dude knows his stuff, not pushy, and got me something that works best for me for a fair price. Very happy.

So at what handicap is a club fitting justified? I'm high single digits and I buy used clubs off the rack. I played with knock-offs from 1997 (Tagor Made Burner ) until this past year. I've never paid attention to grips or shafts, other than playing stiff shafts. My drivers are graphite shafts and my irons are metal. I don't know what they are. A fitting seems like overkill unless you are a scratch golfer from the tips. That ain't me right now.

Mid to low teens if you are playing frequently.

I did my driver/wood fitting at 13 and everything else around 9-10.

Thanks. Good to know. Maybe I'll get fitted.

Definitely worth it at your handicap if you care.

Im a mid single digits because I don't play that often and never practice. I got a new full bag because mine got stolen earlier this year.

Irons, yes the shafts make a difference, but getting 500 less rpms isn't going to be that big of a deal for an 8 handicap.

The biggest difference is driver. I feel so free with the driver with the correct shaft. I've almost completely taken the duck hook out of play with the new shaft. That was my really bad swing miss before, but with a really tip stiff shaft I feel like I can't even make that swing.


Getting fit is expensive, so its about the value you put on golf. If you can afford it, absolutely do it. If you don't want to drop nice change on clubs, dynamic gold s300/x100 are going to be fine shafts for 95% of golfers.

I certainly care about my score, I just always thought fittings and such were vanity for a player like me. Cost is not an issue, I'm just a miser, handed down from my Father.
