Here’s my experience. I’ve been through iron fittings at Club Champion, and with a local fitter in a small chain store. The CC fitting was a failure, I returned the irons after 2 rounds. Same with the small store. Club Champion also did a putter fitting, I’m still playing that putter 5 years later and based on the fit numbers, I know exactly what to look for, if I try a new putter, (I won’t). I think putter fitting is the easiest of the fittings for fitters to get right. The lasers and computers take most of the guesswork out of it and are more accurate than launch monitors.

Dye Course at Stonebridge is my #1. Old American, Dallas Cowboys in the Dallas area. Redstone and Tour 18 in Houston

As JRM007 said, be careful. Many “fitters” aren’t. It also helps to understand what good fitting parameters look like from launch monitor data. Make sure your fitter is qualified and using a high quality launch monitor, such as Gcquad or Trackman. If the fitter charges for the fitting, your charge should go toward the price of the driver or clubs, if you buy from them. Take a look at TXG channel on youtube, you can learn a lot from watching those guys go through a fitting.
