Club Champion - Manhattan

(8 reviews)

Midtown East, Murray Hill

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.

Jake Small fitted me with a new putter first - an eye opening experience. With my first use of my…read morenew putter I dropped 10 strokes from my previously "normal" score and have stayed at 7-10 strokes lower ever since. Two of my playing pals have now run out and purchased my putter. I tried to tell them that was a mistake - it's not the club, it's the club matched to the player by a master fitter that is needed. He then fitted me with a new driver. An interesting, lengthy, iterative process. Jake has all the numbers on the screen in front of him and they speak to him immediately. Next up I am bringing in my entire bag, to see what he suggests. Jake is focused, smart, upbeat and crazily knowledgeable. He has also remained available for follow up suggestions and to answer my questions promptly by email or texts. He will help you drop strokes - potentially lots of them.

Let me first start off by saying that this golf club fitting exceeded my expectation. No way did I…read moreexpect to be there for 4 solid hours and swing over 200 shots with the world's best golf clubs, irons, shafts, etc... I walked in there not ever having a custom fitting like this. I was immediately greeted by my True Spec rep Mr. Caulen Coe (2 THUMBS WAY UP). Mr. Coe explained to me the entire process from swing analysis with your clubs and then testing all the major brands that you can imagine. The Foresight Sports Golf analyzer measured my swing speed, ball speed, launch angle, side angle, backspin, impact point, carry, distance, peak height, etc...Mr. Coe was immediately able to decipher that my clubs were a ¼" short and I was constantly toeing my shots with my 8 year old Ping G20's. He began to create a club with the proper shaft length and angle for me. I immediately began to make precise contact with the ball and improved 20 yards in distance. WOW. Amazing. In the end, based on the computer analysis and how ALL the clubs and irons felt, I selected the following clubs: Driver: TITLEIST LH TS1 DR 10.5, FUJIKURA VENTUS BLUE 6 S w/ GOLF PRIDE TOUR WRAP 2G WHITE STD 3 Wood: TITLEIST LH TS2 FW 15, FUJIKURA VENTUS BLUE 7 S w/ GOLF PRIDE TOUR WRAP 2G WHITE STD Hybrid: SRIXON LH Z H85 HY 3H, ACCRA FX 2.0 200H M4 w/ GOLF PRIDE TOUR WRAP 2G WHITE STD Irons: CALLAWAY LH APEX 19 IRON 4I through SW, NIPPON NS PRO 950GH S 4I through SW w/ GOLF PRIDE TOUR WRAP 2G WHITE STD I cannot thank Mr. Caulen Coe enough for ALL his help in getting me set with these new clubs. In addition, if you were ever thinking about getting custom fitted, JUST DO IT. You will learn a lot about your swing. It is definitely worth it. Thank you True Spec NYC. Sincerely, Nick Di iorio
