Getting fitted for irons at Golf Smith // Golf Galaxy (rookie)

[norgan]

Hello all first post here but a long time lurker. A little about me first, I am a 23 year old lefty that absolutely loves the game of golf. Unfortunately I do not know what my handicap (never calculated it) is but what is known is I generally average between 90-100 for an 18 hole round.  I use to play golf when I was younger but when I outgrew my junior set I basically stopped playing. A few seasons ago I started up again by buying a cheap complete set; well three seasons and a few lessons later I am feeling confident and ready to take the next step which is replacing my complete set with correctly fitting equipment.

Now I've heard of all the mixed reviews and sometimes horror stories coming from people getting fitted at golf galaxy // golf smith.  But my question is would that be sufficient enough for me? Someone that isn't in need of a "whole" review and fitting like golf tec or private place would offer.  I respect the people that decide to do the more in depth fittings but for me all I'm looking for is the basic fittings for an iron set (lie angle, length, shaft, grips, etc) I have no plan to be joining the PGA or anything because frankly I know my game is not that good so I don't feel I need a PGA tour level fitting. But it would be nice to have a set that fits when I go and drop 600$ or so on a set of irons.   Hopefully someone can provide some insight into this as I could not find any information from searching.  All I found was the stories from scratch to 15 handicappers which I understand usually want a more specific fitting when getting clubs (which is why they don't always recommend GG or GS.

(this is a stretch but the two places I'm considering are golf galaxy on rt 10, east hanover, nj and golf smith in bridgewater, nj just in case any locals had any previous fittings done at either of this places)

Thanks all!

TLDR: Would a custom iron fitting suffice at a place like Golf Galaxy // Golf Smith for a higher handicap player not looking for a tour level fitting that golftec or private places do for $100+

I got my clubs lengthened at Carl's golf land, which is a smaller "chain" store.

I didn't go for the whole fitting though, I plan to do that when I upgrade my irons probably this offseason.

i was fitted by the PGA pro at the golf galaxy by my place.  the guy was very knowledgeable and approachable.  the entire process took about 45 minutes.  i was almost certain before hand i was going with PING, and knew their fitting process was pretty fool proof, so i wasn't worried too much.  fwiw, it was the first time i had been fitted, so i had nothing to compare it to.

Look to that PGA teaching pro. He should have the training and the knowledge to do the fitting. The best part of your teaching pro is they have good personalized swing knowledge of your swing. If he can't do it, go somewhere that has an outdoor range. Ball flight is critical to proper fitting!
