I'm 15 years old so I'm wondering whether it's worth getting fitted for all of my clubs and possibly investing in some after market shafts.

I currently play:

Titleist 909 D3 stiff 9.5 degree with stock shaft

Taylormade Burner 2008 3 wood stiff with stock shaft

Nickent 3DX 5H stiff with stock shaft (need suggestions for a new hybrid as well)

Mizuno MP-52 3-PW stiff with stock shafts (Had the lie adjusted when I got them this past winter)

Taylormade RAC wedges 52 and 56 degree

Taylormade Rossa Daytona 33in putter

Not sure if I would benefit from getting everything fit or buying new shafts but I could use some advice

Things to consider:

  • What is your current HDCP index?
  • Are you playing on a HS team?
  • Are your clubs "holding  you back"? If not, hang onto what you have. If a fitting shows a new driver shaft would really help, you might consider that. Otherwise, just keep your current set-up. Take notes on how you play round to round.
  • How much body growth do you anticipate? If you will be growing taller or putting on muscle the next couple of years, keep what clubs you have. After your growth slows down a bit, that's when the custom clubs would benefit you most. Right now, if you're still growing, your "swing equation" will change every few months.

Also, this depends on your family's situation. If money is tight, I'm sure your parents would appreciate it if you "held the line" for a year or two.

Well I would be the one spending the money, so that isn't a problem.

I haven't ever tracked my handicap, but I plan to this year.

I do play on a high school team and I also play summer tournaments.

I will probably grow another 3-4 inches and probably pack on  a lot more muscle over the next few years, but hopefully I can make it lean muscle not bulky muscle.

And no my clubs are not holding me back, but from everything I hear about getting fit for everything, it is almost impossible not to think there aren't extra benefits out there.
