I have done an extensive amount of research and actual testing when it comes to finding my best choices in clubs but I have a concern about the fitting. Do they charge you for custom shafts and grips? I know this is a silly question to ask but I want to make sure that I go in there with the proper amount of money and not embarrass myself.

Sometimes there's an upcharge for a custom shaft, or a custom grip.

Let's look at the Callaway X2.Hot Pro model. The stock 4-PW set prices out at $788.

  • Stock shaft: PX.95 Flighted, 5.5 or 6.0 flex
  • Stock grip: Callaway Universal.

I factored in 1* flat and + 1/64 wrap on the grip, and it didn't increase the choice.

For customization, the moment I clicked "custom shaft factory installed," the price jumped to $899. I tried several shaft varieties, and the price stayed the same:

  • PX.95 Flighted, 5.0 or 6.5 flex (an upcharge for outlier flexes!)
  • Nippon 990 steel, Stiff
  • Graphite Mitsubishi Kuro Kage 70 gram.

For custom grip, I selected the Golf Pride New Decade MultiC black/red midsize; this added $5 a club (+$35)

So, final price was $934, or a raise of $146.

For the Bridgestone J40 Cavity and Pocket Cavity irons, some custom shafts have an upcharge, some don't. You would have to access their website to see which is which.

Focus, connect and follow through!

If you want to get a handle on shafte and grip prices, go out to golfwokprks.com and you will be able to see the retail price difference between those items. The major mfg use shafts in their own name at times which will make it difficult to determine what you are getting some times, but most offer the option of Tt, KBS, Project X etc.

My recent experience has been with Titleist, but I suppose most manufacturers are at least somewhat similar.  They have a few shaft options that are "standard."  Then they have a fairly extensive list of "non-standard" shafts, some of which have a per club upcharge.  Not surprising since the base price for various shafts varies considerably.  Unfortunately, until you do the fitting you won't know what shaft will be recommended.  For what it's worth, the Steelfiber shafts for my irons were a $40/ea. upcharge.  It is my impression that is about the high end but for five clubs it set me back an extra $200.

Okay, my fitter does not charge me for the fitting, but as I do he expects me to do the purchase from him ..which I do.

and being the good fitter that he is ..he always states if there will be an up-charge for an item ie: grips, shafts, etc

When you were young and your  heart was an open book...you used to say "Live and let Live"

Actually a very good question...hopefully answered

"Wanda I can't find my bellybutton, could you help me?"

Think of that next time you have a tee shot.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
