405: Is a $1,000 7-Wood INSANE? The Real Cost of Golf Club Fittings

⛳ Is a $1,000 7-Wood Really Worth It? Welcome to Episode 405 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast!

How much should golfers really spend on a custom club fitting? This week, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan dive into the rising cost of golf equipment, expensive aftermarket shafts, and the difference between getting properly fit and paying for upgrades you might not need.

The conversation starts with a golfer who reportedly spent approximately $1,000 on a single Callaway 7-wood through Club Champion, including an upgraded shaft, PUREing, and additional build services. The guys discuss whether those upgrades deliver enough performance to justify the price and how everyday golfers can find better value.

Matt also shares his ongoing iron shaft experiment, from lightweight graphite to Nippon steel shafts, and explains how changes in shaft weight, launch, and ball flight have affected his game.
