PROPER CLUB FITTING vs POOR CLUB FITTING // The Club Champion Difference

Today Zac is in the bay with "fitted" T300 irons he received a couple years ago. Fairly quickly, Ian can see these clubs aren't helping Zac reach his potential and makes some changes to get Zac into a truly proper set.

Really appreciate the sentiment of this video, but the reality is TXG and Club Champion are on opposite ends of this spectrum. The TXG fitting I see on this channel seems incredible and exactly what I want.

The (2) worst fittings of my life were at Club Champion. One in CA, one in VA, same lackluster experience, lazy fitters, and uncool upsell tactics.

Here before the video gets taken down. TXG will always be the gold standard. Club champion corp lizards can pound sand.

I feel like with all the negative comments, Club Champion should consider sending Ian around to different locations, observing their fitting practices, and making some changes. I would love to get a fitting from someone like Ian, but it does shake my confidence in going to Club Champion to get a similar experience.

Club champion’s fitting really did not meet expectations. Don’t expect someone like Ian to work with you

I went to club champion in Orlando Florida. It was a complete sales trip. Felt like I was at a car lot

I got a driver fitting last year and was told by the fitter right out of the gate not to expect an “Ian” type of fitting. I was also told that if a person wanted an Ian or Mikey level fitting that it’s 4 times the price of a standard fitting and you pay that whether you purchased clubs or not. I understand that you get what you pay for but I didn’t notice a difference between the TXG/Club Champion fitting I had vs other fittings I’ve had with other companies. It was the TXG videos that ultimately made me want to give them a try but I’d say that the majority of the fitters at Club Champion are no better than the majority of fitters anywhere else.

it's the Ian difference, not the club champion difference. False advertising.

Recently had a fitting at CC and at no point was I ever asked what ball I play. The difference in these videos to reality is not even close. The final quote I received was legit jaw dropping.

[rag]

I had a fitting at Club Champion where the fitter tried completely changing my swing during the fitting. He put me into irons that will work "When I swing it properly". I started seeing a pro for lessons to get a few things straightened out, and went back for my driver fitting. He spent 20 minutes insulting my coach and trying to change what he had been working on with me. My game got so bad, I couldn't find my ball half of the time. I talked to my coach about he, he put me on the Mizuno Shaft optimizer and we realized that I was 4* out of proper lie and in a shaft that didn't work at all for me. I sold or traded everything I got from that Club Champion fitting and now have a completely different bag. The guy at the Club Champion here is still there even though you can find tons of reviews about how he has done this to lots of people. Just wondering how CC can continue to say that they are the best when they have guys like this in their employ. I wish I could have seen Ian for my fitting.

Ping and Titleist both do amazing factory fittings at low cost and super high quality.

[Utopia]

Love this video and the approach you guys take. I wish all Club Champions were like this as I got fitted for a $1K driver setup last year that actually made my game worse. Went to a competitor who fitted me to a completely different shaft and head with much better results, and was less expensive. Needs to be some more consistency across locations if they’re all under the CC banner.

[spritely]

Pretty hilarious that “TXG” makes a video about terrible club fittings and everyone complains about the company that purchased you. Pretty sad to see Ian sold out to one of the most notoriously terrible club fitters.

title translation: txg fitting vs actual club champion fitting

[ssylvester]

I totally get what you guys are trying to do here, but the reality is that what you do at TXG is leaps and bounds better than what you would get at a regular Club Champion. I would love to be proven wrong, but I would be concerned unless Ian is the one doing the training for every fitter at Club Champion. The one time I went to Club Champion, I felt pressured to buy certain clubs and shafts, and I replaced the irons literally a year later.

Well, I’m heading back to Ian and Mike’s facility next week. Over a five year period I’ve had a driver fitting and another related to reshafting a set of irons. The driver fitting was jaw dropping in the way they altered my ball flight and centre strike consistency. The fitting wasn’t done by Mike or Ian but I was extremely happy with the results. I’m going back because I’m five years older, I’m physically weaker and I’m noticing how those factors are impacting my mechanics. I’m a believer based on my experiences. We’re lucky to live in the same area. They’re good, we have an understanding of budget and I’m looking forward to it.

[wangbang]

Yeah I had a terrible experience at my club champion. I've never been back

[brianstevens]

This was an outstanding video and why I watch Ian and Mike. Everyone's comments are spot on because we are used to what happens in the TXG bays! But all of that being said the content was tremendous and so much of what we as amateur golfers want to see. The more we are educated the more we get from our fitting. You can say no to purchasing from the fitter but you must be educated first. Thank you to Ian and Mike for an excellent video!

[mikec.]

Ian and Mikey are just next level. So hard to get that replication of knowledge and dedication to their craft across so many stores and fitters unfortunately. I will say though that the CC Canada locations all get rave reviews from guys know across the country who have used the Vancouver, Calgary and GTA stores. Mikey has his guys dialed. Sorry America.

[icetrey]

I did a club champion fitting recently and i will tell you it is not even close to what you see people get from Ian. Honestly, it's turned me off to fittings in the future because it was pretty far from expectations.

[Radioghost]

Ian needs to start a school with a certification for fitters. Fitters around the country are terrible
