Initially got an iron fitting with Kyle R. including irons and wedges. The first thing they do is fit the shaft using a Wilson AI shaft. We tried a variety of shafts and settled on a House of Forged (made by LA Golf) shaft. Hit a variety of irons including Ping, Callaway, Mizuno, TaylorMade, Miura, Titleist, Wilson, etc. Anything I wanted to try. It was close between Titleist T100s and Wilson Staffs. Went with a blended set. Went back to get a driver, fairway wood and putter fitting and to re-hit the two irons I had narrowed down. Settled on a Ping G440 driver, Ping G440 4W and Cobra KingTec 3 Driving iron as well as Wilson Staff irons in a blended set and Vokey wedges based on gapping.
Never felt pressured to buy anything in particular. They have a myriad of shafts and club heads. They do have their own NBG irons and I think a relationship with HoF shafts. However, they are more than happy to fit you in more OEM related equipment as well. They were happy to discuss any results including dispersion, launch, spin, length, lie angle, etc. but I was really just trusting my fitter.
I would research clubs in advance and understand what you want as far as playability, distance, feel, workability and budget. Also, in irons especially, they all come in different loft angles and can produce drastically different results. Some 6 irons I hit were 30 degrees (Mizunos) whereas some were more a standard 34. Can make a big difference in distance but I was really focused on dispersion and feel. I also like the fact that they start with the shaft fitting versus the clubhead as I feel the shaft is much more important than the clubhead. They did not steer me towards shaft pureing as they thought it was unnecessary although they were happy to do it. Prices are comparable to what you would pay for a similar setup from an OEM based on my research.
I just went with what I hit the best and what felt the best. I have played 90+ holes over 6 days with the new irons, wedges and driver (ordered the 4W, 3I later) and they performed wonderfully. Super happy with my purchase and I do love that they back up any purchase with a 100 day playability guarantee.
