If you go to a fitter, usually the clubs are bought from the manufacturer and then built to your specs. I'm not sure, it might be good to just call someplace like PGATSS and ask them.@THE MACHINE

Question. Ya'll ever order directly through the manufacturer? Quick story.. (might be kinda long)
I just talked to somebody at PGA Superstore here in Orlando. Told them that I was interested in the Mizuno JPX 919 Forged set that they had on sale. It was a 4-PW set for $999. (Comes out to $125 per club) I was gonna shave off the 4 and 5 iron, since I'll be using a hybrid. To be honest, dude didn't even sound like he wanted to help. Either way, he told me that they couldn't break up the set since Mizuno no longer makes the clubs. I was likeHe told me to just wait 2 weeks when the 921's come out. Now, I'm cool with that since they're sexy as hell, and Mizuno's are just... butter. Now the price for the 921's are $1400 (or $175 per club) So a 6-GW set would run me $1050 before taxes. shyts gettin pricey, but I wouldn't have to worry about clubs for at least 6-8 years. Here's my question..
I'm 6'6 right? I'm gonna need the clubs extended and the loft/lie adjusted. Also, I'm gonna need midsized grips on them too. I've ordered three sets of clubs in my life, and all three times I got them standard. Then pay to get fitted and have the L/L/L adjusted and extended. If I order through a place like PGA Superstore, or Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith.. and they put in the order through Mizuno on their own, how does it work? Basically, do i get the grips, and the L/L/L's to my specs included in the purchase price? (Since they'd be building the clubs for me from jump?)
I'm just tryna budget correctly. I got no problem droppin the coin, but the set isn't the only thing I'm gonna need. I need a new hybrid, a new 60 degree wedge, a new putter (found one that i fell in love with), and a new golf bag. I cant rock Mizuno clubs with my Cobra bag.
shyt, I might need a new driver too. I'm still rockin the Taylormade R1
Ya'll got some advice?

what’s everyones perspective on lessons? I’ve had them a few times in life and they seem to be a waste of money.
also I’m on that Manuel De La Torre effortless swing tip these days.

Crazy how I have missed this thread.
I played fairly often with people in my company right after college. Got into as a means to stay competitive in something athletically cerebral post college. I was a collegiate athlete (football and track & field) and loved to compete and needed something to fill athlete void. Played a lot with my boss and other upper management folks. They liked having me around since I averaged 350y off the tee(when i avoided a slice) and it amazed them. Other than putting my game was shyt. Was a +18 handicap when I stopped playing in 2011. My boys would play randomly but struggled to break 105 on easy courses so I was never in fear of losing to them.
Fast forward to now. I have a few friends that are taking lessens and coming for my throphies. I upgraded my set but after 2 9's I think I might switch my Irons and Driver again. Felt good to play again but my 2nd round of 9 was in 105 degree heat smh. This time around Im not going for huge hits...im going to play smarter and more calculated. I plan on at least 2 practice sessions at one of the many driving ranges around me per week and at minimum a 9 hole per week. The big thing for me is getting my body back into conditioning. I got flabby over the past 10 years. Only carrying my driver 270 right now but should gain 30+ yards after a few weeks of training.
