It has been a good experience for me, especially with the veterans discount. Last summer, I was fit for irons, Here in Charleston, SC, you go to the range of a very nice private club. I had Callaway Mavrick irons at the time. I was able to hit 0211, Gen 3, 4 and 5 XP irons and see the ball flight and a Trackman. At the time the Gen 3’s were $99.00 each if I recall correctly. After hitting them all, my fitter said I hit the Gen 3 clubs with better ball flight and distance, which I could see. Stock Project X shaft. Did not push anything. Two months ago, I wanted to see if something might improve on my Ping G400 max driver and Ping G410 fairways. Hit the Gen6 XF driver with probably 6 different shafts. Nothing was pushed on me. But I knew the Graphite Design AD HD shaft was the one. Just by feel, and ball flight. It was a $200.00 upgrade, but retail on that shaft is $400.00. End result, got a great driver and shaft for what Callaway or Ping with stock shaft would have cost. Fairway wood, the fitter suggested I hold off on 7 wood since I did not use it a lot. But picked up 5 wood with stock shaft which still beat out the Ping G410. Never was there any pressure to upgrade or buy anything. It was based on the numbers and data and how the clubs felt to me. Sure, I only hit PXG clubs, but had the opportunity to hit more shafts and club models than any fitting I have ever had. And I have been to one the top clubfitters in the country. Sure you are locked into their ecosystem, but like Apple, it is a pretty good ecosysterm.
