Fitting recommendation: bay area

[Sguaglia11]

This might not be the right place for this, but i'm looking for a fitting recommendation in the sf bay area (preferably south bay/peninsula).

 

I know the club champion in San carlos and cool clubs at Mariners point are each on top club fitter lists but guess I'm not sure how important it is to hit off grass rather than their mats...just getting to the point where i'd like to know if my clubs can be optimized for my swing. And really curious if I should be playing clubs slightly shorter than standard (5'6"...)

 

Anybody have a particularly good experience to recommend or an especially bad fitting to warn me about? I didn't see anything in my search but happy to read a thread if there's already one on this topic.

I got fitted a Club Champion in San Carlos and they seemed okay.

Also there is Matt Flennikan in San Jose: InstructionI had a fitting with Matt many years ago when he was at San Jose Muni fitting Henry Griffitts clubs. Might be worth checking out.

I have also had some sort of free fittings on trackman at SJ Muni but was not impressed.

Send a PM to one of this forums sponsors, Joe Kwok.@joey3108 is his user name here...
Joe is of the handful club fitters on this globe i would send someone too, because when i advocate using someone, i feel responsible for the outcome and i have no worries with him, he is of the best there is and ever was, and he is located in the area you ask for too, so its a no brainer, send a PM to him with all your questions and he will take care of it all.

Definitely @joey3108 if you are looking for the absolute best...

Thanks all! I pinged Joe, hopefully hear back soon. I guess if I don't hear back I'll move on to Matt. Would welcome any other suggestions people may have!

Andrew Piercy at Pruneridge does a great job if you are close to the south bay. He is super patient and will work with you however you like.

Joe is 100% the best fitter in the Bay Area, he built me a set recently and everything was perfect

So who'd you go with and how'd it go?

I need a putter fitting.  I have several nice handmade Mills and Byron’s that need lie and loft’s checks and adjustments.  Maybe reshaft also.  Does Joe Kwok do putters?  Or where??

How expensive are Joe Kwok's fittings usually, compared to other fitters?

PM him or contact through his website. No reason to think other folks are going to weigh in on his business pricing. He’ll be happy to respond to a serious question.
