I'm torn. Seems like a silly thing for him to say, without ever seeing you swing. I also know that if you can't at least deliver a repeatable swing, fitting's going to be a crapshoot. Maybe he thinks that lessons would dramatically change your swing (which is possible) or that you've just started playing and he's just saving you the money for now. Doesn't seem like he's got terrific sales skills, though.

The bit with the balls? I know quite a few people who think that way. I disagree with it because I could certainly tell the difference between a Titleist and a StarFlite when I was starting out. I wasn't able to make much use of what the "better" ball had to offer, though. Spin tended to be sideways and I couldn't hit it out of my own shadow. End result? I usually scored better with the StarFlite. He'd have been better off saying that a $50/dz ball might not be the best for you right now.
