Just had a fitting done at the Cally lab in Concord and thought I'd share me experiences.
Easy to book online, although the $60 bucks didnt come with any free loot like i thought it would. I had heard there may be a sleave of balls and a hat, but I got jack. It does go to charity though apparently so thats a plus.
The room is amazing with literally every club and shaft for both left and righty. Plenty of room and at least 5 large flat screens with data on them. Makes for a very good first impression. Felt like I was walking into a PGA lab or something. Then again I am easily amused.
The fitter was very cordial, and asked the requisite questions about performance, common misses, top line prefernce and ball flights. Also asked what I was trying to achieve being there, and then mentioned that there was no pressure selling, and all references he made were Callay only because thats his most knowledgeable platforms. He translated to Mizuno and Titleist when required, as this is what was in my bag at the time.
Starting with the irons we setup and hit into a huge picture of Pebble Beach 18th hole, and wiht the size of the room it was really easy to get comfortble. I often at fittings get sidetracked by odd angles in the room, or hitting to a corner. For some reason my mind plays tricks and I cannot line up corretly when there is perpendicular lines around me, and this screws things up. But the cally room was very good in this reguard.
Warmed up and hit about 20 balls to get comfortable and then machine went into action, with lots of flashing and such. The data of the monitors was both visual club head and ball trajectory data, and the requisit angle, loft, speed, ball speed data. As much as it kills me, it seemed very spot on from my course knowledge. He really identified quickly my low flight, and much to my surprise the machine spat out my -8 degree angle of attack. He asked how i felt on the course with the flights I had into greens and if i desired more trajectory or liked what i had.
We tried plenty of new clubs, including the x24 hot ( which were not quite the shovels i expected). Plenty of clubs later i got pretty much the diagnosis i expected but it definately seemed more empirical than a few fittings Ive been to.
Same for the driver, with quite a few options to run through and iMix made it easier to work with different shafts. Ended up with a surprising Bassara 53 with stiff which sounds quite exotic.
At the end is the lie test, and then there printouts of the swing state into a nice little booklet. Also the swing is places online to checkout, but it seemed more than a little gimmicky that useful, others without a camera may like this bit.
Overall, if you dont know a good local clubfitter, or just want a no hassle checkup on your figures, with very solid looking flight and track equipment it seems a good place to spot 60 bucks for charity.
