I haven’t really heard any bad stories from fittings there but from those mobile fittings I have only heard bad things.

I just do not see the point of going through the fitting and then getting clubs just as they would come from Edwin watts or the Taylor made website..when bebu first came to town he was telling people that clubs assembled by the manufacturer were not all put together properly now he is using a Taylor made retail account and selling clubs assembled by the manufacturer with stock shafts

I’ve never bought taylormade through him. And last time I went, he built everything there.

ETA: I don’t see a problem with people getting his expertise and advice and him giving them the option for a cheap solution. It sounds like people have no problem with that given the choice.

Yea. I paid attention to what was going on and I'm not a novice with club fitting and the clubs he picked out were the best. They were TM, but that's just what happened to be best.

I guess it depends on what you are after. I'm indifferent on brand. I want to find out which iron with a stock shaft gives me the best dispersion, carry, flight and spin. If an aftermarket shaft can significantly improve the above over the stock shafts, then I'll consider it. I'm skeptical that it will be worth an extra $50+ over stock.

It was more than an extra $50

John Joy at LeTromphe in Broussard is a top 100 fitter in US....he has tons of clients that come from Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Jackson MS , Shreveport and a couple of guys who recently came from NY...he's very reasonable...if buying whole bag he will not charge anything..Driver/3-5 wood fitting $100 which will take about 2 hrs and its like a lesson to boot...while I was getting fitted for my 3 wood 2 weeks ago he got a call from TaylorMade that they where sending him shafts and irons heads for 2 sets that he was going to assemble and ship out to customers that placed order with Taylor Made so not only is he a master fitter but also a master club maker....
