Other than seasonal weather (winter…) and more rain days, the personnel and available equipment, both sites are on par with each other. Coming from SC, the humidity in MA will be closer to your home conditions.
Ball plant #3 is close to Manchester Lane, …while you are there.

I was fit at Manchester Lane last August. When you arrive, you will think you drove into someone's back yard until you get to the guard shack. The guard will check you in and notify the fitter that you are coming. When you park, your fitter will meet you at your car and bring you to the fitting area. When I was there they were working on a building that will be a new fitting center I was told. It will be just you and the fitter on the range with about every club and shaft option that Titleist has. You will warm up then baseline with your clubs. You'll start with irons then go to woods. Make sure you're ready to hit a lot of balls. You will then do some full wedges after which you will go over to the short game area. That alone is worth the trip. Chips, pitches and bunker shots with your wedge options to get you dialed in. When you're done they will review your fit and you can order on the spot if you want to. TPI is the dream but Manchester Lane is awesome. I plan on going back the next time I get fit.

Reach out to Andy Dobson through the fitting inquiry form in the Fitting tab -- I did the full bag fitting at TPI in Oceanside and it was by far the most amazing experience from beginning to end -- shout out to Chris Baingo, my fitter!

That said, Andy helped me sort out whether Manchester Lane or Oceanside would be best, and was very communicative throughout the process. It's also worth mentioning both TPI in Oceanside and Manchester Lane are in big renovation projects... I think the Manchester Lane ribbon cutting is set for the beginning of July.

But with the whole bag, it'll also include a ball fitting -- which was unexpected, but really helpful to make sure the investment in the club fitting makes its way to the ball as well. I honestly believe every ball I hit (over 150 shots) was with a brand new Pro V1 or Pro V1x -- it was wild.

I'm already booked for a follow-up fitting this fall back at TPI, and while I'm in an area that doesn't have many Titleist-affiliated fitters, I don't know if I'd trust doing it anywhere else than a TPI.

You got me curious so I google mapped the facility. That is a lot of construction. Looks like it will be amazing when it is finished.

The good news is the Oceanside CA facility and the Manchester Lane MASS facililty are similar in many ways. Either one will get you what you need with great fitters...way better than any big box store IMHO.

Good Luck!

Thanks for all of the feedback. I am going to reach out to them for a fall fitting after the new wood line is out.

I appreciate all the feedback and contacted them yesterday. They are completely booked for the whole year is what I was told and I could be put on a waiting list. Insane to think they are that busy, but I guess like with most new construction there is some traffic built up..

Not to forget both sites fit pros and do outdoor testing in addition to end users. Manchester only runs May into early October. I’d also hazard a guess they are finalizing some designs for the 2025 Pro-Vs. The guardhouse may be locked and loaded on days the testing is top secret.

Manchester Lane looks like heaven on earth. Need to take the trip up there!
