Not to hijack this thread - but a subtitle could be "what did you buy him/her that's golf related" 

Wife decided she has too much of a gap between Driver and 7 Wood, so the car automatically steered to PGASS this afternoon. A nice young man asked if he could help, wife says looking for a 5 wood. He said the ladies clubs are over there. Wrong, she corrects him and says, no I'm looking for a 410/425 Max with a SR shaft. A smile on my face - no pink or purple clubs for her. She then looks at a Big Bertha's since she has it in a hybrid. and then asks him about the shaft options. He said they're all basically the same - just marketing differences 😱. Hopefully he isn't a fitter. 

We walked out with the 425 5 Wood Alta SR 65G shaft.  Note ulterior motive: I want to schedule a shaft fitting at Club Champion in a few weeks 😜.

We have a brand new Club Champion store in Myrtle Beach. As part of their grand opening, they’re offering 50% off fittings.

Ive heard good and bad about them on forums, the bad being they’re expensive and try to upsell customers to more expensive shafts than needed. The good is they have a huge inventory to choose from. I would assume the fitters are well trained, so my questions to those who have gone for a CC fitting would be, is it worth scheduling a fitting at 50% off, and are you obligated to buy anything once you’ve paid for the fitting?

Yeah the 50% off is definitely worth it.  I usually take advantage of it every year when they offer it during the winter. 
 

As others have said.  There is no high pressure to buy. Sure they will recommend some upcharge shafts.  But let them know if you are only interested in non upcharge ones. 
They will have just about anything you want  to try.

I was going to go golf shopping while i was up north but my putter money just got spent on new tires for my car. Not even 12k miles on the tires and they were shot....no more rolling smoke burnouts for the time being.

Well the OGIO Woode and Titleist Hybrid 14 are returned and I picked this one up today:

434AC838-FCB3-46B2-9CEA-0C1BFE33CA15.jpeg.8754b02dd062b3c23041d8fdec053fb7.jpeg

It fits perfectly on the CaddyTec I can configure it to work like to Woode top with the woods/hybrids running down the side.  It’s got ample space, but isn’t too bulky either.  I didn’t want to have to give up the stand, but that’s more of a range issue than anything else as I’ll either push or ride.  I guess at the end of the day this just makes more sense anyway!

I’ll share a pick of it loaded up eventually... My Forged Tec irons are in the middle of swapping over to the Modus 120x shafts.

Also to note the cooler is quite spacious... I didn’t have any cans with me downstairs so this football will have to do:

I've wanted to buy nice looking ferrules, but given that i do my own club work, i haven't completely mastered the fine art of turning ferrules. I can get them flush, but if there is some small imperfection in my work with the nice ferrules, it will continue to bother me lol

I've had the bag for a couple weeks and did an "unofficial" review on it.

I decided to give it some ink. If you're gonna get a tattoo, make sure that it means something and that you can live with it forever...

Oh.. and I guess I'm committed to the bag.

Didn't buy anything today, but had all my irons and wedges spec'd out and bent back into the specs I was fit into.  Hadn't had them looked at since I got them almost 2 years ago. 

Most of the irons had gone flat over time, so had them bent back.

Love the idea - might have to do the same thing.

... jlukes on it as usual. If you play forged irons I think everyone should have their lofts/lies checked once a year. Either at the beginning or end of the year if you put your clubs away for winter. I have my own loft/lie machine and I am always amazed at how much specs change if you play a lot of golf. And if you have never had them checked it is an absolute must because coming from an OEM or off the shelf I can guarantee you that the lofts and lies are not on spec. I just received a Mizuno T20 58* wedge I ordered and it arrived at 57* and only 1* up instead of 2*. 

... When I was on staff with a major OEM I received irons with the 8 iron 1.5* strong and the 7 iron 1.5* weak so there was 1* of difference in loft. Had I not checked and adjusted them I would have been very confused as to why I was hitting my 8 and 7 very similar distances.

Found a great deal on these and will replace the G/Fore Gallivanters I had.  Footjoys are lighter and a bit more flexible, but with classic looks.
