Has anyone out there done a FULL golf club fitting… I’m talking Driver thru putter?  I’m interested in doing one of those this year my clubs (Nike VR Split Cavity) are old (8ish years I believe), too short for me and I just snapped the head off my 4 iron and came to realize that they are all rusted where the shaft meets the hosel so it seems like its only a matter of time until they all break off which is really disappointing because I love these irons and have take EXCELLENT care of them.  I’ve seen videos of people doing this with Taylormade or Titleist, I’m not limiting myself to those brands those are just the ones I’ve seen.  I know Dicks offers that kind of service, but I’d really love to do something outside off real grass not a driving range matt.  I live in Central PA so going all the way out to “The Kingdom” in Caralsbad isn’t really something I can do but I would drive a little ways for a nice fitting that's worth while.  Also, what are we looking at in terms of price for this FULL fitting.  I understand it is different depending on what clubs you get and shafts ect… but I’m just looking for a fairly general number just so I know what I’m going to be getting into.  I  like to think of myself as a "good" golfer whose handicap is 6 and who hits the ball further than average.  I'd ideally like to get some sort of blade style iron not the super blades the pros play but something along the lines of what I have now or like the P790's   I'd like to stay in the $2-3K range if at all possible

 

Thanks In Advance!!

The owner of this site @iacas has an indoor facility in Erie, PA and I think they do wedge and putter fittings there, not sure if they fit irons and woods there or not.

For pricing, I think $3k is going to be about as low as you could go and still get brand new current model year stuff, especially if you need a new bag too:

Driver ~ $500

3 wood ~ $250

Hybrid/3iron ~$200

Irons 4-PW ~$1000+

Wedges GW, SW, LW  ~ $150

Putter ~ $100+

Bag ~$150+

$2650 right there before taxes and any fitting fees (although some places will throw in the fitting for free if you buy clubs from them)

I like the P790's as well, but I dont consider them to be a blade style iron. Have you looked at the P750 or the P770 yet? I hit the P790 and the P770 for aprox 5 swings each, so not a big sample size but out of those 5 swings, I thought the P770 felt much better than the P790 and I had a tighter grouping in overall distance and lateral dispersion with the P770.

Hope that helped! Let us know what you end up choosing!

I’m in central pa and looking at getting new clubs and have been reccomended to blair county golf and driving range. That got an indoor hitting area and right outside a driving range. Stopped in once looking for a used 1 iron and they hooked me up. As soon as a do a little more research I’m heading down to test some clubs. And from what the guy that reccomended me to them said I think they throw in the fitting for free if you buy clubs off them

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
