Jake (Club Champion, NYC Master Fitter and Master Club Builder) is da' man !!! Patient /…read moreexperienced / excellent communicator / in it only to meet your needs (and within your budget). If you are even at all serious about playing the best golf that you can (which may not include becoming a scratch golfer - but should include hitting more fairways with tighter dispersions on your driver and clearing more traps to hit more greens with the irons) ping Jake to let him help you to dial it in with the modern technology of this year. (I believe that this was a pivotal year in golf club design, with all companies utilizing AI to produce the best / most forgiving clubs ever available.) And if you want to really get into it, read ahead for my thoughts on optimizing your Club Champion visit - making the most of your appointment: - DO go in swinging well - be ready to swing representatively of your current game. (Don't prance in there after a long winter or layoff and just hope for the best !! I had a couple of range sessions before committing to my visit.) - DON'T hit balls right before - you may take 150 or more full swings during a full bag fitting (equivalent to playing 54 or more holes). - Trust your fitter. They know the options. Don't micromanage the process based on the ads you've read or the hot clubs your friends are talking about. Let the "apples to apples" club comparisons you experience be your guide. - Your fitter is steeped in science, but they are artiste's as well. Yes they will tell you of the thousands of shaft / club head options that they have, and they do . . . and that helps greatly. BUT the process ultimately depends on precision that must be inserted by your fitter. They can't have EVERY club / loft / lie / bounce / grind / shaft (weight / length / stiffness / material), etc. option available. Your fitter is the key in building clubs for you. "I don't have this shaft in 45" but if we take off half an inch that will encourage this or that so that's what we need to do." What is the value of tighter dispersion and hitting a few more fairways a round and maybe clearing that bunker or two and rolling onto more greens (?) That's the value proposition you need to make. (But if you've read this far - you probably know that this process if for you )

TL;DR: Go to New York Golf Center instead - Club Champion Manhattan would rather fit you with the…read moremost expensive set than the set that best fits your game. My first Club Champion experience was in Palm Springs - I got fitted for new irons, which I love. Great experience there. In September of this year, and mostly because I had such a good experience with my iron fitting in Palm Springs, I came in to the Manhattan location (where I live) to get fitted for long game (driver / 3w / 5w). I came after work, so we only had about an hour - I asked if that was enough time to fit everything, and was assured it was (even though online if I remember correctly a long game fitting is supposed to take 2-3 hours). My fitting was rushed, and it felt like as soon as I made one good swing or said that anything felt good, my fitter was eager to get me into that club vs. checking all possible options. I ended up spending over $2,000 on a driver, 2w, and hybrid. My equipment was also not built correctly - the 2w clearly had something wrong with it from the first time I played with it and I needed to take it back into the store to get it fixed. While I was waiting to talk to my fitter to see what was wrong with it, another customer walked in behind me and showed me his club, which Matt also built, that had the face falling off of it. The results (including after the 2w was fixed) were inconsistent at best. I know I'm not a pro and equipment isn't going to magically get me to hit 100% of fairways - but I am a 4 handicap, so I have a relatively consistent swing, and I was consistently hitting the ball worse with all three new clubs than I was with my old clubs. I submitted a complaint directly to club champion, and they had me come back in to get re-fit with Jake Small, the "master fitter", who was great - he was able to take my on-course feedback, test a couple theories for why I was having so much trouble, and made a couple fixes to the settings of my clubs. I have only positive things to say about Jake - I've even recommended him to friends of mine (who have used him and also spent gobs of money). Even after Jake adjusted my clubs, I still wasn't achieving the on-course success I was hoping for. I chalked this up to user error and kept playing, until my driver snapped in half on a swing. The $450 shaft that Club Champion fit me into just split into two. I reached out to Jake to see if there was anything they could do given the 1 year warranty had run out - he basically said anything would have to go through the shaft manufacturer and the best I was likely to get was 15-20% off on a replacement. I went to get re-fitted at New York Golf Center, and the fitter there confirmed my suspicion - I was fit completely incorrectly. Not only were different heads better for me (I went with a Ping LST), but I performed better with one of the stock Ping shafts than with a similar shaft to what Club Champion fit me with. I feel strongly that my original fitting was done hastily, with little to no concern for actual on-course results and only with an eye towards getting the most amount of money out of me as possible. I won't be returning for future needs.
