For many golfers, purchasing a new set of golf clubs can feel like a daunting task due to the overwhelming amount of product available. There are so many other aspects to consider too, such as what shaft flex you may need, the loft and lie angles as well as which specific model of club will help you get the most out of your game. At Golf Monthly we always recommend heading to stores with experts who can custom fit you and advise you on your equipment and with 68 stores across the US, you'll get all the information you need from your local PGA TOUR Superstore.
Whether you are completely new to golf or an accomplished player, PGA TOUR Superstore has what you are looking should you be seeking an equipment upgrade, ably assisted by the knowledgable staff who can guide you through the process. With each store's floor space ranging between 35 and 40 thousand square feet and filled with nearly every brand you could possibly imagine, PGA TOUR Superstore have you covered whether shopping for the best drivers, polo shirts or the latest accessories.
Each store stands by the same guidelines and operates on a ‘meet or beat’ policy whereby they will meet or beat the price of any legitimate retailer or competitor in the market place, so you are guaranteed to get the best price possible on all your golfing needs. If for whatever reason you are not satisfied with the performance of your new clubs, PGA TOUR Superstore offers a 90 day period after the purchase where upon returning the product with the original receipt, you will receive the full amount of your purchase back in store credit.
Each store is fitted with simulator bays which include the latest in launch monitor technology from the likes of Trackman and Foresight Sports and with the help of a store representative, golfers can test some of the latest product to gain an understanding as to what shaft flex and lofts they are likely going to need. While these brief sessions lasting around 15 minutes are free of charge and provide you with the basic insights you need, one of the coolest aspects of going into a PGA TOUR Superstore is the STUDIO fitting experience. This is a private custom fitting session alongside one of the best fitters in the area, providing you an in-depth analysis of your current club set-up and then the opportunity to be custom fit into the best possible clubs for you. These fittings must be booked in advance with the fee and duration of the fitting varying depending on what areas of the bag you are looking to replace.
The fitters who will host you in the STUDIO sessions attend multiple training sessions led by both PGA TOUR Superstore as well as each of the major manufacturers to make sure they are fully clued up when it comes to the latest golf equipment trends. The STUDIO sessions allow golfers to really dial in preferred ball flights and maximize their performance by testing after-market shafts that are not readily available when purchasing product straight from the shelf.
While the newest equipment will likely improve your performance the most on the golf course, PGA TOUR Superstore understands that this is often reflected in the price and so there is a big emphasis in each store on package sets as well as pre-owned golf clubs. Package sets normally include a bag as well as 10 to 14 clubs and are a superb option for beginner golfers. There has certainly been a ‘boom’ in golf participation over the past couple of years, so it comes as no surprise that PGA Tour Superstore has sold over 75k package sets over the past two and a half years alone.
While package sets are great in the sense that they offer everything in one, pre-owned equipment is a great way for both people getting into the game to pick up some competitive equipment in a cost-effective manner. This is a great idea if you are after a specific product you loved a few years ago and golfers can often find a bargain in the pre-owned section from where golfers have bought new clubs, returned them via the 90-day guarantee offer and then end up in the pre-owned section of the store.
If you happen to find some clubs you love in the pre-owned section and they need a little tune up, each store has you covered with their repair shops. There are many services on offer from trained professionals such as loft and lie checks, re-shafting or re-gripping. In fact, over 50 thousand grips were fitted in PGA TOUR Superstores across the US the week after Scottie Scheffler claimed victory at The Masters this year.
So no matter what stage of your golf career you are at, whether you are shopping for men’s, women’s or junior clubs, pop into your local PGA TOUR Superstore, speak to one of the highly trained store associates and fitters to help you make your next purchase in complete confidence.
