I've had a full bag fitting and I can say that I walked away a little bit more confident in the equipment that I had after I was finished.  The only club that I had better numbers with was the driver and where we spent the most time.  So you can take that two ways.  One being that it wasn't worth the money to do the fitting as it didn't give me any better clubs except driver.  Or the other being that I was confident that I had the best combo after hitting several others.  For me, it was a mix of both.
I'd advise to keep some cards close to chest and go in telling the guy that you are open to all equipment changes so they try to push the best equipment.  I felt like I steered my fitter a bit and most of that was my own fault.  I didn't get much out of the putter or wedge fittings for example and really wanted to try more.  The other advice is to schedule a full bag fitting over two different days.  This will give you more time and not rush you or the fitter on any club categories.  As many have said, wait until you are in peak form as well for best results.
My issue is that club champion charges the full MSRP of the stock shaft and tacks on more with the upgraded shaft than what you could get elsewhere.  Most times it's an upcharge yes, but far less than what Club Champion charges.  If you're talking about irons, then it gets to be crazy.  
Another point at least for me, is that I'm lucky enough to have a local custom golf shop that has a trackman and really knows there stuff.  I purchased my irons from them a year prior to my Club Champion visit and the irons still outperformed any head/shaft combo in my fitting experience so I trust they do a nice job for me.  Not sure if others have tried this route, but many times a local pro shop with a nice launch monitor CAN be a good option and provide similar results.  Lastly, the shop gets far better deals than anywhere else so I have a lot of savings there.  Example I got my custom Mizuno irons 4 - PW in 2018 (when new) for $850 compared to $1099 in all retail prices.

Bought a lot so far this season.  A couple new SM9 wedges.  TSR3 driver head.  New golf shoes and plenty of shirts (Rhoback and Greyson).  
Tried a LAB Mezz putter, but just didn't love it.  I could feel a bit of an easier putting stroke to make when using it, but it didn't really translate to anything better and I didn't love the look of it.  Struggled with speed control as well, but that's also somewhat the norm.

Congrats - starting to notice a loss of speed myself so i'll likely be getting some type of speed trainer soon.

I've had a couple different brands over the past 5 years.  I had Ray Ban's New Wayfarer P for the longest.  More for looks, but the optics were ok.  Went to some Maui Jim's that I enjoyed, but last year I wanted to try prescription sunglasses.  I didn't want to drop a huge dime on a big brand prescription in case I didn't really like them so went with Kirkland lenses in a couple frames.  They actually have really nice optics and polarization.  The frame is not as sturdy as I would like, but for driving and casual activity they are fantastic. 
For active - I just bought a pair of Knockaround sunglasses that I like the frame quite a bit.  The lens could be better and have less internal glare, but they are decent for $30.  
Based on my good experience with the prescription pair, I'll likely look at an Oakley prizm/Maui Jim/Costa if I can find a deal and a "do it all" frame.

Can’t wait to see how it turns out for everyone. Would love to hear about accuracy as well as any distance gains.

This is very cool.  Can't say enough great things about the community and information here.  
I have been unable to post much for a while due to family and work obligations.  I will make it a point to get back here frequently once again.

Super interested in this.  Great price point if it performs.  It could make winter more bearable!

I hope to have mine by the end of the month.

Was able to get down to San Antonio and played with a customer.  Played The Quarry Golf Club down there and was really hitting some great shots.  My driver was a real weapon and had chipping/pitching been a bit better could have been a really special round.  Nevertheless, was very happy with a 1 over 72 for my second round of the year.
Score - 72 (Par 71)
FIR - 8/14
GIR - 12/18
Putts - 32 (Two 3 putts)
3 birdies and 1 eagle.  1 Bad double bogey.
Going to Streamsong on March 13 so looking forward to playing those courses.

Played my first full 18 holes in 2023.  About 55*, but the wind really picked up and was playing a bit tougher.  Oddly enough that's when I started to make some putts and execute on my chipping a bit better.
The front 9, I actually had several good looks at birdie, but just couldn't make anything longer than 3 feet or chip anything closer than 12/15 feet.  Definitely some work to do there.
This was also the first time out with my TSR3 driver and it was great.  I went 8/14 for fairways and could easily have been 11 or 12 with a different bounces.
The 18th hole was just bad all around.

Had a decent day yesterday - low 50's and sunny.  Decided to take my 4 year old.  Bad decision. He lasted 4 minutes and was screaming and in a mood to leave.  The few I did hit were not good.  Will keep at it in terms of trying to get him introduced if he wants and hopefully hitting the ball better myslef.
