WILLOWBROOK, IL – Club Champion, the nation’s premier custom club fitting and building studio, today announced The Fitting Challenge, a limited-time promotion running June 23 through July 18, 2026, at U.S. Club Champion fitting studios. The challenge is simple: let Club Champion’s world-class fitters find you a better club in at least one measured category – or receive a complimentary shaft credit of up to $450.
New Club Champion customers age 18 or older book a fitting session and bring their current club – their “Gamer” – into the studio. A Club Champion fitter then conducts a complete fitting, using a Tour-grade launch monitor to measure head-to-head performance across three categories: carry distance, accuracy, and efficiency. The verdict is in the data.
If Club Champion’s recommended club outperforms the Gamer in even one category, the customer pays the standard fitting fee unless the customer purchases any custom Club Champion club, in which case the fitting fee for that session is waived. If Club Champion’s recommended club does not outperform the Gamer, the fitting fee for that session is waived and the customer receives a complimentary golf shaft credit of up to $450, subject to the Official Terms and Conditions.
“Club Champion fits over 100,000 golfers a year, and we know that the right custom club makes a measurable difference,” said Nick Sherburne, Founder of Club Champion. “The Fitting Challenge is our way of proving it – on the spot, with real data, and with real stakes. We’re confident enough in our fitters and our process to put a $450 shaft credit on the line. That’s how much we believe in what we do.”
How The Fitting Challenge Works
- Book and complete a fitting appointment at a U.S. Club Champion fitting studio during the promotion period and select your fitting type (e.g., driver, irons, wedges, etc.).
- Bring your current club for the selected category to the session. At the start of the fitting, your “Gamer” is measured on the launch monitor to establish your personal performance baseline – the number Club Champion’s fitters will need to beat. For iron fittings, participants must use a 6-iron as their Gamer.
- Go through a full Club Champion fitting session. Once the fitter identifies the optimal custom club for your game, you’ll hit at least 10 official shots with the recommended club – tracked on a Tour-grade launch monitor and measured against your Gamer baseline.
- Club Champion wins if the fitted club outperforms the Gamer in at least one of three categories. The customer wins if it does not, including ties or results showing no improvement in any category.
- If Club Champion wins, the customer pays the standard fitting fee, which is waived if the customer purchases any custom Club Champion club. If the customer wins, the fitting fee is waived, and the customer receives a complimentary shaft credit of up to $450. The shaft credit has no cash value; if the selected shaft’s retail price is less than $450, the customer will not receive cash, credit, refund, or other compensation for the difference. If the selected shaft’s retail price is greater than $450, the customer is responsible for the difference and any excluded charges.
Available Club Categories
The Fitting Challenge is available for drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, and wedges. Golfers may complete the challenge across multiple club categories, with each session evaluated independently, subject to the one-attempt-per-category limit.
The Fitting Challenge is open exclusively to new Club Champion customers age 18 or older at U.S. Club Champion fitting studios. Appointments are required and subject to availability. Void where prohibited. Full terms and conditions are available at clubchampion.com.
