So I recently got my club champion fitting and it was great... I can’t afford that sticker price though.

as I’m sourcing the equipment I’m planning on getting the shaft for my hybrid from golfworks

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Fujikura Vista Pro Graphite Hybrid Shafts

The redesigned Vista PRO Hybrids benefits from Tour proven Fujikura technologies CAGE and Maximum...

 

Since they want me to take off .5 from the tip and I was fitted for a playing length of 39.75” what length should I get the shaft cut down to in order to fit into the rogue hybrid?

Or should I just have whoever is putting this together for me cut it down? (I would prefer to have it just done already)

i was also a bit confused from the length EOD line.... what does EOD stand for !?!

Thanks in advance!

I am no clubfitter and hence am no expert at these things; the suggestion to take 1/2" off the tip is to stiffen the shaft a bit, probably more for spin reasons as opposed to launch or feel.  So therefore, you would cut 1/2" off the tip, then assemble the head onto the shaft, and then cut to the 39.75" length from the butt end (which would be 39.50" allowing for the .25" when you install the grip, subject to my guess about EOD below.

Because of all that, if you wanted the shaft to be cut exactly to the length you would need, and that the tip end of the shaft is not all the way down to the level of the sole of the club (unless it is a bore through), you would need to know the distance between the bottom of the hosel neck and the sole of the club.

My advice on that is to cut 1/2" off the tip, and then cut the butt for length when assembling the club.  That way, you will always get it right.

Re EOD, I have no idea what that means other than maybe End Of Dowel, which could mean length of club to end of shaft without grip. If I am right, then it looks like you were fitted for standard length.

I am sure that others will chime in as to what it means,

@Putmedownfor10,  Welcome to TST.   We're glad you've decided to join.   I'm sure an expert will be along in a little while, there are plenty on site.   

I'm glad you've posted and asked the question.   I have the same question and just failed to ask.   I too was fitted at Club Champion recently and the experience was fantastic but the pricing was a shock..

Don't be a stranger.

Why don't you just call Club Champions, and ask them what EOD stands for? For what their fittings cost, I sure wouldn't be shy to ask for an explaination.

Agree with the above comments about just let the club maker assemble and do all the trimming. Always want to butt trim after you epoxy. Not sure about that EOD and if that is taking a final grip on measurement or not. Hard to say for sure. Looks like they fitted you at 1/2 inch under standard. And the hybrid at 3/4 under standard. A 1/4 inch one way or the other won't change much in the end but I would either check with them or just get the club maker to take a quick measurement.

I am more surprised about how they recommend Pureing everything on that sheet! Those guys are really trying to nickel and dime you. Those Aerotechs are great shafts and don't need it, nor does the Fuji hybrid shaft.

I believe they recommend Pureing on every club they make...at $30 / shaft that is quite a profit.

Thanks for all your input guys! I’m actually contacting my CC rep later on this week so I’ll let you guys know what EOD actually means 

Also Im planning to just order that fuji shaft and have them cut the .5 inch off the tip leaving the rest for the club builder to cut off so it can be to spec 

I got a nice rogue hybrid on the callaway pre owned site for $100 so with the cost of buying and installing the shaft I figure that’s a decent amount of savings compared to the 425.72 CC quoted me at for that club 

I’m tempted to try to install it myself but I’ll experiment with some cheap clubs first 

 

Thanks for all your responses

They charge $30 per club??? Wow. I don't think I appreciated how much of a snake oil salesman they are.

and that's just the beginning.   I just got a Golfworks catalog and see the price of the Aerotech Steelfiber fc70 Parallel F3 shafts are almost half what I paid.  

I'm not unhappy with my clubs and realize that I paid too much but damn...

Is that just standard depreciation or wtf? I thought CC brags about not having any bias and don’t upcharge their stuff and you’ll pay the same price as you would at a golf retail store? That seems pretty ridiculous they charged you so much more for what the shafts go for on the retail market.

If I showed the price list of my clubs everyone would just freak out.   I knew CC was more expensive than the other local fitters which by the way they are in the top 100, but I didn't realize how much more expensive.   

The issue I experienced was they did a great job and fit me with the best possible combination of club and shaft.   There was no alternative or cheaper option offered.   Was I happy, yes.   I am really happy with my clubs but if I wasn't in the situation where I am financially, there is no way that I'd have paid this much when there are other options available at other fitters.

EOD usually means "end of day" so maybe they're saying that's the fully built club length, not just the shaft length (uninstalled, no grip, whatever).

Okay, I am pretty sure that can't be true and he just doesn't know. It does prove we shouldn't care.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
