One of the more common questions regarded being fit by the retail or big box stores. While this may be better than nothing, it is a far cry short of what a complete fitting entails. A fitting at a retailer will involve determining lie angle, length of shaft, shaft flex, and grip size. The shortcoming of this method are:

#1. They will use any club with any shaft and have you hit off a lie board to determine lie angle. Using a lie board is not the best method for determining lie angle and it's also essential to use the shaft that you will be playing as different shafts will have different toe down or droop effects.

#2. Most companies are trying to get you to play longer clubs rather than what is manageable. Reason is that in theory, the longer the shaft, the more distance you'll get. This simply is not true.

#3. Flex is what? A true fitting will find what the proper frequency is for you, the right weight of shaft, the right torque of shaft, the right kick point, in essence, the RIGHT shaft. In the retail shops, you will only have the option of shafts that the manufacturer decides to put in the club.

#4. What is the right grip size? The right grip size is the one that feels best in your hand and lets you grip the club with the proper tension. You can't find that out by putting your hand on a size chart as they will have you do at the other places.

I've hit the high spots here but there are many other major differences. Big Box stores don't measure for the proper MOI and they certainly don't orient the shaft in the club in the optimum playing position. This one aspect alone creates consistency in your clubs. You are also stuck with standard length deviations, ", as well as standard deviations between shafts in their flexes, usually 4 CPMs. What if you don't need " between clubs and .4" fits you better and 3 CPMs difference between clubs is a better fit? The answer is: TOUGH! They can't do it.

Now, let's talk cost factors. There are two schools of thought regarding the perception of having clubs made for you by an independent club builder. One view is that they are more expensive than off the rack clubs. NOT TRUE! A set of Ping G10 irons can set you back $600 to $800 and a set of TaylorMade Burners would set you back $700 to $900. You can get a professional grade set of clubs made to your exact specs for lots less. While prices will vary from region to region, you can generally expect to save about 15% to 20%.
