I would find a certified Titleist fitter who works outside (preferred, weather permitting), or in his own training center with simulators. A good first stop is often a Titleist Thursday, but there may not be many of those this time of year.

I’ve tried Titleist Thursday’s but the nearest one is 4 hours away either to Phoenix or Albuquerque.

Go with a Titleist fitter, even if it's a 4 hour drive. Make a weekend trip out of it and see for yourself the results. Big box stores don't often employ true knowledgeable fitters and the indoor equipment is no match for outdoors. I went to a PGA Superstore for a fitting last year, and I knew more about the Titleist irons and shafts than they did, and their quality fitting equipment told me I was hitting a 7 iron 192 yards. Must have been calibrated on a frozen lake.

I agree with Barry. In the long run you will be much more confident you are getting fit for the right clubs, shafts, etc. I realize it is a long drive but while you are there, play a round of golf. Might not be a bad idea to arrive the day before so you can get a good nights sleep. Best of luck to you? Happy New Year!

Not sure about why Golftec would not be able to fit Titleist indoors. Club Champion does... If you are already sold on Titleist, I would definteley go to a Titleist Thursday event or find a local certified fitter. I think that doing the fitting outdoors (in good weather) has an advantage over indoors hitting off a mat. If you are doing a wedge fitting, I think you absolutely need to be outdoors on grass in a dedicated short game practice area...

With that said, I had a good experience with Club Champion. Their driver and iron fitting turned out about roughly the same as when I went to TPI 2.5 years later. If you want to demo a wide range of brands and shaft options, Club Champion is a great place to go and their fitters are very knowledgable. Just be prepared for the upsell on exotic shafts and other options..

Going to a private club for a fitting is not a bad thing. Sometimes they offer members prices which can be lower than most retail shops. They may charge a fitting fee if it is not a Titleist sponsored event, but getting a good fitting for $50 is worth it. They also tend to take the necessary time to try all the combinations of club heads and shafts. Titleist fitting days are great and free, but have a limited time slot. You may try and contact Titleist or ask you local pro if they are having a fitting day. Most of the Titleist fitting techs are local and may have fittings outside of the normal summer months at their own shop or a local course in the off season. Best of luck with your new clubs!

completely agree. I’m gonna continue to search before pulling the trigger on anything
