So you were happy with the fitting at PGASS? I was thinking of getting fit for a driver there instead of paying $100 to go to a "top 100" fitter

It is always a shot in the dark when you subscribe to the free fittings, but as long as you know that going in. Even the fittings "included with purchase" are all over the place as far as what is included and the level of experience that individual has.

The PGASS would be a good starting point and the guys here locally were really open and honest with telling me up front what to expect. You'll more than likely get a thousand foot level fitting, but will give you some ideas to start. If you went to a couple different places and received the same answer, your on the right track.

I went to GS first and spent 2 hours there the first time going over the shaft, club head selection, loft, and lie check. Went back a second time the same week to double check the different variables. I ordered the clubs through them at that point. While they were in route, I went to the PGASS and told them that I had ordered a set already and wanted a second opinion. I didn't want someone to waste their time knowing I wasn't buying. When I told them this they were surprised at me being open about it and were more than happy to check things out. They even did the Mizuno swing DNA for me and gave me the numbers at no charge. I've since been back to buy the 2ball with fitting and grip change. So being up front can have it's advantages. I went to the third local guy to have the putter analyzed and loft changed after some video analysis. Going back to him with the irons next week to have them double checked. Both of which are not free.

Sorry for the long response and guess this would suffice:

Good starting point!
