I have decided to upgrade my clubs.  I live in Jacksonville, so I visited MasterFit in Orange Park.   The person I talked to in the store said they have been in business for over 20 years.   He showed me the swing monitors, a whole bunch of charts and graphs from the previous fitting session, showing clubhead speed, ball speed, smash factor, the flex in the shaft, so on and so forth.  It appears to be a very professional and experienced fitting company.  The prices seem very reasonable for a set of irons, ranging from around $400 to around $800, depending on what kind of shaft, head, etc. 

Here is my question.    What they sell is their own private label club heads.   They aren't Mizuno, Titleist, etc. clubs.   They are MasterFit clubs. 

Are these private label clubs as good as brand name clubs?

They can be good. But in terms of resale, they won't hold value as much.  Keep that in mind.

Also, ask for names of a couple of people they have fitted for. See what customers say.

Where I once lived in Oklahoma, several of the better local amateurs used private-label clubs made by small shops. Drivers, FW woods and wedges were most popular items done by these shops.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Dude. Stop. It does not. If you're just here to troll about LIV stuff, go somewhere else. When you make stupid statements like that, it's trolling.
    • This lead up to LIV Adelaide has the same fell as a normal Major
    • Day 118: 4/23/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 2/24. Finished 1 mph over last session but 4 mph slower than the preceding program.
    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
