Club Champion

Anyone have experience getting fitted at Club Champion?
I would assume it is a better fitting experience than a Golf Galaxy. But how do the prices compare when purchasing a set?

They do a good job with a way more detailed explanation and they have a ton of options. Their prices tend to be much higher than normal market prices. You can get your information from them and piece it all together online or just buy from them to avoid the hassle and wait times to assemble your set.

Prepare to spend 2k for 1k irons and 1k for $500 driver.

Good info.
Expensive.
The thing I did not like was you basically swing a 6 iron to get fitted for irons.
I am bought maybe I should go 6 hybrid and have first iron in bag as a 7.
They did not recommend I buy new irons. The difference in performance was negligible compared to the irons I was playing then.
Whole bag fitting was too much for this old back.
I did buy a really expensive driver/shaft.I like the club, but it probably was overkill.

It’s all case by case. Depends on the level of golfer you are. If you’re new then I’d just go to some retail place. It will be good enough. If you’re serious about your game then it’s extremely valuable. Idk why people get so upset over the pricing. They have their model and it works for them. It’s all A la carte. Stock option shafts provided by club manufacturers have to be paid for. They are getting heads and shafts separately. Do i agree with it? No. But they don’t force you to but from them. You’re paying for a fitting not clubs. They show you information and numbers. If you like what you see they hand your specs along with a price to buy from them. They will also work with you on a budget to help you. You’re more than free to grab your specs and buy straight from most manufacturers. I tend to buy all my irons and wedges from the manufacturer and buy my drivers straight from them. Again it all depends on what you’re fit in but i recommend you not but immediately. Do your homework and price is out online. You get fit into a Projext X shaft in irons or driver then you are better off buying yourself from the manufacturer. Things like ctaper, some graphite shafts, s taper, some tour issue dg shafts the price isn’t all that different with irons from CC to the manufacturer. I paid the same amount for my Tsi3 with la golf shaft from them than i would have online or from anywhere. So again it just all depends on what you get fit into.

Did several years ago. They do a thorough job and don’t pressure you to buy from them.

If only I would've reached out to my old highschool instructor before I made this mistake....But as others have said I enjoyed the experience.
This wasn't a dig at Burky. It was a dig at myself for being a quick spender. Chill with the down votes...

Pay for the fitting, get your worksheet, and buy the components off ebay. I paid $120 bucks for a set of iron shafts they tried to charge $1,100 for. They were even "pured" or whatever rotation service they try to sell you on to find the spine of the shaft. The fitting process absolutely works.

Haven’t done club champion yet, or at least it’s been years. There is one by my house though and have wondered the same thing. They seem solid.
You want to know where the worst experience to get fitted would be? PXG. I did not get fitted there, just dropped in the store to see what all the hype was about. I picked up a club at one of their monitors/bays and the guy let me hit one shot before he told me that I would need a reservation before hitting any more.. Rubbed me the wrong way and got the hell outta there. I don’t buy the hype, I don’t like their marketing scheme, and their crap is overpriced.

So you wanted to get fit for nothing then ?
It's a fitting studio, not a golf store per se. Most of the time on the weekends the fitting bays are booked solid all day long.
The PXG Fitting is a very comprehensive track man evaluation and well worth the 50 bucks, that you can apply towards a purchase.
I will say this, it doesn't matter where you get fitted, you are at the mercy of that particular fitter that day. His product knowledge and his ability to recognize a person's ability is paramount to a good fitting that yields results on the course.
What I don't want is a fitter that tries to change my swing while being fitted.
I'm not a big fan of Club Champion, but luckily in the Houston area we have some other great options.
I have heard too many stories about Club Champion pushing certain shafts on golfer that have no business using them.
But you might walk into a CC that has a great fitter and he does a good job for you.

I went to the one in Mandeville and it was a great experience. That a lot of options and spent a lot of time trying different things
Even though I ordered a club from them, it was still about $250 more than other places, but they discounted the fitting price.
Either way I know I overpaid a bit but I enjoyed the fitting experience.

You can’t just walk into Club Champion as you please and start grabbing clubs and hitting them either, you need an appointment.

They are pretty inexpensive actually, but apparently you don’t want to get fit correctly and think you can just roll in anywhere and start hitting balls

What makes you think you overpaid? If you get a club properly assembled that you confidently hit good shots with vs buying something off the rack and getting a custom shaft off the internet will it really be the same?

I get it. But if I were a sand wedge salesman I’d have a different approach… LOL
Besides, you can go to pga superstore and waltz into a bay without some monitor marshall checking his tee time sheet.

Sell me a sand wedge, now.

Honestly I priced the same setup out after I ordered from Club Champion.
I was just curious about what it would have costed for me to order it on my own.
CC:
Titleist tsr2 $599.00 head
Nemesys shaft $408.00 upcharge
Pured shaft $65.00
Grip $13.19
fitting $175-50% off with purchase
Total $1284.10 with tax
Same setup ordered from different places:
Titleist tsr2 $599.00 head
Nemesys shaft $265.00 shaft-pured included
Grip 10.18
total $957.23 with tax
There is a fitting charge included with CC that raises their price, if you remove that they are still a bit higher than ordering elsewhere.
I am all for ordering with the people that spend time fitting you, that is why I ordered from them. I enjoyed the experience and time they spent, it was well worth it and I don't mind paying extra for great service. Something that is lost in todays world.
I was just pointing out you can build the same setup and save a few bucks, if you want to go that route. Not a knock on CC at all. Golf is an expensive game

Pushing or pulling a shot into a green side bunker is no fun, but it happens every once in a while, right? That doesn’t mean you take bogey though right? You like to get up and down for par am I right? Let’s go down the road to xyz municipal, I’ll bring the 3 wedges you’re interested in, and we will see which one works best for you. How does that sound? Does the course you usually play at have firm or soft sand Mr. Customer? That’ll help me determine the best bounce for you and your playing conditions once we decide on a favorite wedge….
