I think we all have our personal preferences. Over the years I have had irons from Square 2 to Titleist to at least 2 other brands that memory can't dust off!lol But I am comfortable standing over Pings and am on my 3rd set now. Preferences, my brother could not get comfortable with Pings and is a total Taylormade irons guy.
I also am total Taylormade woods for 20 plus years now. I have demoed other clubs but these 2 brands work for me.
I really think you would be hard pressed for "garbage clubs" if you are in the fitted in the higher end range. Have to go with what works and feels good for you.
I can't say enough about fitting and am talking about indoor high tech hitting. Getting the feedback of ball speed spin and launch trajectory is amazing when trying different sets with varied lies and shafts. Most places PGA Superstore & Golf Galaxy will put fitting price towards purchase. And I have had a great relationship with Golf Galaxy here in Westminster, CO and the 3 times I went to fitting, never rushed or pushed. By the way a good fitter will ask what ball you play so they can get comparable ball for fitting. They will also ask a ton of questions pertaining to your game and where you play and handicap. All this was and is part of my experience and relationship with my local store at least with the one fitter I worked with.
For me for the amount of time and money I put into this game and enjoyment it brings is worth it.Which is why I am part of this great school and forum.
Hope that helps.
Been a bit silent of late, busy schedule but looking forward to vacation at home here in a couple of weeks with 4 straight days of golf at some nice course here.
