I am mixed on it. I paid for the full bag fitting and the extra to have the clubs built on site. They were out of stock on all woods and hybrids, so that did not happen. In addition to that, the fitter is also the builder. He is awesome, but was so far behind he could not build my irons on site. They did give me a credit back towards my irons, and would have even if I did not buy. They should not be selling services they cannot deliver on. I drove 4 hours to get there and drove right past the Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation on the way. All that being said, the iron fit was the best I have ever had. The shaft optimizer saves time and is accurate. The fitter that I had listened to me and communicated well. He educated me a lot on the shaft selection. This is really important to me as I had been fit before in lighter shafts at premium fitting events, probably in order to get that longer yardage for the sale. I learned from Mizuno that my tempo is on the faster side and I need to be heavier and stiffer. I went to a heavier and stiffer shaft and my results were noticeably better shots/dispersion with virtually no yardage lost. That is a huge win for me personally as I like to try different things from time to time, and having that knowledge will eliminate shafts that dont work for me.

I just did a fitting at the Foudary last week and my fitter said all irons were set until at least next February with intro at PGA show. They are completely out of woods waiting on the same event.

I don't think he actually wanted to play. First of all, he knew this all along and kept hinting at it. Secondly, his good friends, the Bryan Bros, just did a very nice job of creating a few videos out of their sponsor invites to the BMW event on the DPWT, and that tour has basically the same rules as the PGAT. He could have easily made some compelling (to his audience) content out of this without violating the PGAT rules.
