Direct answers to the questions golfers ask before spending on new clubs.
Treat every golf app as if it can wipe the on-device copy tomorrow. Rounds survive if they live on an account you control, you can export them, and a dead watch is not the only place they were written. 18Birdies users ha…
No. You need a record you trust. Arccos says the system should collect about 90% of shots; more than 10% missed is a problem. App Store critics put some rounds 5–25 shots off — “at least 25%” missed — plus edit-every-hol…
If the shortlist is $1,200 irons on a $600 life, the fit ignored price. A useful recommendation is a club you can hold this month: last year’s players-distance set at $649 certified, a marketplace pair in the $500s, or a…
Yes. You can fit a bag from a honest 7-iron carry, tempo, miss, current lofts, and budget — no TrackMan, no appointment, no $175 door fee. What you get is a category: players-distance vs game-improvement, 50g vs 60g, reg…
Sometimes. Four shafts is a real fitting if the fitter isolated one variable, used your gamer as a baseline, showed the monitor, and could explain why those four. Four shafts is a sales demo if they never tried a stock o…
Your fitter starts with the $350 shaft because that is where the matrix, the story, and the margin live — not because your swing secretly requires Accra. Aftermarket shafts (Accra, Graphite Design, real Ventus, Oban) hav…
You can take a Club Champion spec sheet and buy the clubs somewhere else. That is the default advice on r/golf for a reason: same heads, same shaft family, often $800–$2,000 less once you drop in-house labor, PUREing, an…
Get the full sheet — head, loft, lie, length, shaft model / flex / weight / launch window, grip, swingweight — then price four channels before you nod: OEM custom, a component builder (Fairway Jockey and peers), certifie…
They are not substitutes. Club Champion is for ball-flight validation in a huge matrix — TrackMan, a printed build, optional PUREing, and a bill that can clear $3,000–$7,000 if you buy in-house. Online fitting (BagBuilde…
Do not buy the $7,100 bag on the spot. A CustomerLobby 1★ from Club Champion Sandy Springs is the clean version of a years-long story: 14 clubs, exotic shafts on “every” club, a closer asking what it would take to get yo…
You already bought the information. You do not have to buy the invoice. A $400 full-bag fee pays for launch data, a fitter’s time, and a printed spec sheet — not a duty to take home $4,000 of aftermarket shafts, PUREing,…
