I was fit 3 years ago in Portland by CC.  I had a very positive experience with the fitting.  I did opt to buy from them, with full knowledge of the cost and expectations.  I could have bought elsewhere.  I could have ordered all of the parts and built the clubs myself.  I am not unhappy with my decision to have CC build the clubs.  When they arrived, they were to the exact specs that the fitter called for.  I'm still using the irons and putter that I bought via CC and am still very happy with the results of my fitting.  I had my driver reshafted at the same time based on their recommendation.  I was less pleased with that, but I suspect that's more me than the club.  In any case, I have since replaced that driver.

All in all, I was very happy with my experience with CC.  I've seen lots of complaints about them, mainly related to their business model on building clubs rather than the actual fitting process.  Some of the complaints that I've read seem to be more buyer remorse and based on $$ rather than the actual performance of the clubs.  Additionally, the fitting is only as good as the person doing the fitting.  

The fitter that I went to spent a lot of time with me, explaining the process, giving his thoughts and recommendations.  I did not feel pressured to buy from them.  He showed me the prices, stating his opinion of the advantages of having CC build the clubs, and let me make a decision.  He did offer a break on the price of the fitting if I chose to have them build the clubs.  I understand that this is not the norm.  I'm sure that there are bad fitters working for CC, just as there are those that are high pressure sales people that seek to upsell.  Bottom line, the responsibility to make the final decision rests with the consumer.  Absolutely nothing wrong with getting fit at CC (or any other fitter) and taking those recommendations to another builder.

I see this said all the time about how someone isn't good enough for exotic shafts. The point with all this is you don't need exotic shafts regardless of skill level. Go look how many tour pros are pl

Don't even know what that means. It just sounds good for them to say. The shafts they use are no different from the upgrade shafts that you can order direct from the OEMs. Of course they charge you 30

Check out what the best drivers on tour are using. In most cases they are still using a shaft that is many years old. Rahm, McIlroy, DJ, Brooks. Yes, they might dabble in something different but they

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
