Fit for a $700 driver - help me dupe it on the cheap!

[jokerusn]

I had almost the same thing. I got fit for the '17 M1 with the MFS5 Black Tie 70x. Loved the feel and flight. I wanted a "NO WAY LEFT" driver and this was it. Then I checked the website and saw that it was a $100 upcharge. Before the fitting, I was thinking HZRDUS Black since I was playing that already and it was a no upcharge shaft. When he put the MFS5 in my hands, I thought it was going to be like the M4 and no upcharge so I went with it. Wasn't until I went to order that I realized it was going to cost more. I got a discount through the ID.me program but still, it would've been more than stock. Went with the HZRDUS Black like I planned and it's perfect. Just probably need to cut it down 1/2". These extra long drivers are killing me.

 

BTW, the TM guy who fit me said they made the '17 M1 LESS fade biased than the '16 M1 due to staff and consumer response. If you want anti-left, the '16 M1 will give that to you and cost a hell of a lot less than the '17 M1.

 

So, just to be clear,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, for $100 you went with a second choice shaft. And one you feel you have to cut down as well ?

 

Plus, you wanted the most anti-left club you can get, found out the '16 M1 is even more anti-left and a helluva lot cheaper, and yet you bought the '17 ?

 

Interesting choices made on WRX,,,,,,,,,,, :dntknw:

 

I didn't go with a second choice shaft. There were a few others that fit me too but I was thinking of trying something different. I ended up going with the one I already liked but didn't have to pay extra for.

 

I also didn't want the most anti-left club I could get. I wanted the club that wouldn't go left FOR ME but also be forgiving. The '17 M1 with 1 click to fade keeps me from hooking nicely. The '17 M1 is also more forgiving than the '16 M1.

 

The point of my post was to express my displeasure with fitters to fail to mention any extra charges associated with the custom options.

They only care about fitting you correctly, the cost is secondary.

And the upcharge shouldn't matter anymore anyways. You can just finance it. ?

Yeah, exactly. How much do you want to bet that it doesn't last and still have other companies copy it?

Everyone,

 

OP here. As I mentioned, I found the exact shaft I was fit for (ADDI 7x) on BST (thanks JMitt) and a few days later bought a still-in-plastic 2016 M1 460 head on the 'bay. All in, less than half the price tag for the 2017 version I was fit for.

 

My Member / Member starts tomorrow and the new big dog is likely in play. If we win some hardware I will be sure to give credit to the WRXers. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
