Had an 0800, cold, early morning driver fitting today with James in Edinburgh. Really fantastic experience and a great fitter. Neither my technique, the time, nor the cold air were helping the ball fly but still he managed to get me +20yds distance but more importantly 60% tighter dispersion - and he made it enjoyable. I know the stats as when I got home I had an email that they had already set up with a trackman account for me where I could go through all options I tried and see the shots. Is the total price more expensive than one of the big golf shops? Yes, a bit, but you get 2 hours of expert knowledge, focused on your swing, from an expert who really knows what he's doing, trying all the best equipment available on the market in a state of the art facility. Plus the club I bought has a custom shaft (that works), a custom grip, the shaft is "pured" as well. If anything, if you count all that as services (and I do) it feels cheaper than the big retail stores where it can be hit and hope. Here, you actually get a product that works many time better. More importantly, they are a lovely group of people, they made me and my wife very welcome and I can honestly say I won't be buying any clubs off the shelf again.

Fitting with James last week. Great guy to deal with and very knowledgeable. Enjoyable experience from start to finish. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending. Bit more expensive than picking of the shelf at your local golf store but choice of shafts and clubs to get you custom fit is vast. All staff great to deal with and very customer orientated.

Had a fitting with Lawrence yesterday in chesterfield and the whole experience from start to finish was incredible. No stone left unturned and no rushing to fit the next customer in. Had irons and wedges fitted and honestly cannot recommend enough. Even Jordan popping in and having a chat created a really friendly environment. I guess fitters are a bit like coaches (and wives) when you find the one you stick with them. I certainly won’t be going anywhere else from now on. Thank you Gents top guys who know their stuff and a pleasure to see you work.

Had a full bag fitting with Aaron at the Edinburgh base. Absolutely incredible experience! Aaron a top guy and so knowledgeable about all the different products. Excited now for the new clubs to arrive. Will never go anywhere else for clubs again.

The fitting process at SGGT is undoubtedly thorough although i never received video or specification of driver fitting as promised. My fitting for a driver with Jordan costs £100. However, the real-world performance benefits, especially for a driver, do not justify the substantial financial investment of £800+ with a mid-range shaft. Despite the comprehensive fitting, the actual performance gains I experienced from the driver fitting were negligible.

The cost of the driver, at over £800 plus, seems excessive compared to the performance benefits. Furthermore, there are hidden costs in the form of the club head, grip none stock, shaft, and delivery that aren’t immediately apparent during the initial consultation.

When comparing this to the prices of a driver directly from TaylorMade, there is a significant markup even for a high-specification driver. Most manufacturers offer customization services for their drivers. For example, the TaylorMade Qi10 Max Designer Series, refined by TaylorMade’s designers, is significantly cheaper at £529 for a fully customized version.

This stark difference in pricing raises serious questions about SGGT’s pricing strategy and whether the added costs are truly justified by the product and service quality. The disparity in cost-effectiveness becomes even more evident when considering that established manufacturers like TaylorMade provide similar or superior customization services at a much lower price point. SGGT’s offerings, despite their fitting process, do not seem to provide a proportional increase in value or performance benefits. For many golfers, the marginal gains achieved through SGGT’s fitting process do not justify the significantly higher expenditure.

I had also booked a 5-wood and 3-wood fitting, but as SGGT doesn't stock the TaylorMade Q10 Tour fairway models and charges a further £75 per session, I've cancelled these. It simply does not warrant the outlay and there is no point trying clubs I do not wish to purchase.

The initial allure of a bespoke fitting quickly fades when faced with the reality of hidden costs. The high costs at SGGT are difficult to justify. In contrast, purchasing directly from established manufacturers presents a more transparent, economical, and satisfactory alternative.

In conclusion, while SGGT offers a thorough fitting experience and fitting fees back when you purchase from SGGT, the cost-effectiveness of the services, particularly for drivers, warrants careful consideration. For me, the marginal gains do not justify the higher expenditure compared to purchasing directly from established manufacturers.

Had an excellent driver fitting experience with Laurence at Chesterfield site and was amazed at the amount of different shafts they stocked. I wasn’t rushed at all and Laurence explained everything about the process, showing all the shot information and advising on how the different shafts affect the ball flight.
I was advised that my driver could take 3-4 weeks to be built and delivered. 4 days later and I’ve had an email to say my parcel should be delivered tomorrow. What a great service. Well done to everyone at SGGT. I will be returning when I’m due some new clubs.

I was fitted for new irons earlier this year by Scott Fraser, then by James Wilson for a new driver this month.
Both were fantastic experiences with surprising, to me, results. No more taking a chance buying off the shelf or eBay.
Scott and James both took time to understand my game, my swing, and my 'wants'. They quickly identified what would work for me but still gave me options to refine things and get the most out of my ability. They even let me try things that I thought would work for me - which only proved that I really did need their guidance.
I ended up with shafts in my irons and driver that I could not have tried or selected without visiting SGGT.
I've shared my experience with golfing partners and would encourage anybody, at any standard, to pay the team a visit and get the best possible set up for your own game.
I'm delighted with my new irons and driver, and had my lowest score in two years on my new driver's first round this week (75 at Baberton if anyone cares). I'm also down to my lowest WHI since last May (6.7). Much (but not all 😉) of the credit goes to Scott and James for their guidance.
But just to warn the team at SGGT Scotland - I'll be back for woods and wedges at some point this year 😉

I was a stubborn mid handicapper who'd been hitting second hand extra stiff Titleist MB's and hoping to one day get consistent enough with them. However the years flew by and I was still clinging onto that hope.

After my clubs got slightly damaged while travelling, I decided to go for my first fitting. Scott knew right away I was no where near consistent enough to justify MBs and I was needlessly punishing myself and my scores. After trying a variety of shafts and club heads, I was quite set on Titleist clubs again. Frustratingly my swing halfway through the session turned to mush and after a run of shanks providing no data to go from, Scott offered to pause the fitting and resume at future date while handing me some impact tape to take away.

When I came back later I was swinging more freely again, and I could not argue with the data. My MBs fantasy went out the window, and the focus was on how the Titleist T100 and T150's felt with different shafts. I'm now a very satisfied owner of Titleist T100's set one degree flat, along with a boost of confidence. Many thanks to Scott for his patience and SGGT with my follow up, I highly recommend them.

I eventually bit the bullet and visited SGGT for an iron fitting and wish I’d had done it years ago. Straight away Scott knew what I needed and after watching a few strikes with my old set. Walked out with P770’s with a shaft which is delivering exactly what I wanted. Easy ball striking with height and without loss of any distance.

Thanks guys it’s an amazing set up and would recommend to anyone to pay a visit.

After having my Irons fitted in 2022 I went back to get my Driver fitted and same as the first visit really enjoyed the process, James is brilliant at his job and had me hitting consistent distance and much better dispersion from the get go.
Out on the course the Driver has preformed the same as on the day of fitting. Very happy with my Driver and irons.
Thanks James and all at SGGT.

Both James who fitted my woods, and Aaron who fitted my irons/wedges were excellent. Excellent facility where you're made to feel extremely welcome. The team demonstrated the different parts of the fitting processes, and were even sympathetic towards my bad back and instead of forcing an opinion/club to try and get the fitting finished, they asked me to come back to make sure I was completely comfortable with the clubs we thought were right. Can't recommend highly enough

After being fitted late 2023 for my new Mizuno 923 HL irons it was time to upgrade my driver.
James got me hitting my own Callaway to get the figures he was looking for as a benchmark. I always felt it connected well but didn't go very far.
He dialed me into a Taylor Made Qi10 max with a Accra shaft which on the screen gizmo came up a full thirty yards of improvement.
I have used it on a trip to Tenerife where it felt great.
I've had a lesson recently which has really enhanced that it was the correct combination.
Massive thanks to James and all the guys at SGGT for a fantastic experience and loved the video showing the change.
I'll be back for a fairway wood in the next month or two.

All the best, Davie

Excellent service from start to finish from James. Detailed. Found the ideal fairway wood. Thanks

Had a fairway wood fitting with James at the end of 2023. Whole session was great and ended up getting dialled in to what I need. Now have another weapon in the bag and opened up more par 5’s in two shots. Communication and service was great

First visit to SGGT for any kind of fitting, booked in for full iron set fitting with James. Arrived a bit early and was welcomed in by James who let me warm up for easily 20 mins, we started with a chat about what I was looking for and if I had any preferences. Was open to trying anything and James was very helpful knowledgeable and explained each change in shaft and head thoroughly. We tried many shafts and heads, indoor and outdoor, we even tried different grips to get the best out my swing. Overall, a fantastic experience and I am delighted with my new irons, would definitely recommend a fitting at SGGT and I will be going back soon to see James for a Driver fitting.

Got fitted for a utility wood recently having had driver and irons fitted before - wouldn’t go anywhere else. Whilst my swing is still WIP I have confidence that my clubs definitely are not the issue!

Drove up to Edinburgh for an iron fitting. Talked about current set and what I liked and didn’t like. Worked through a few options and landed on a perfect fit. Haven’t the ability to try a 4 iron made us realise it wasn’t necessary and we went through a 5 wood fitting instead to fit the gap in my bag.

The fitter also adjusted my current set to match my new specs in the interim until my new irons were built.

Really comprehensive fitting and lots of insight. Already booked for a wedge fitting in the spring.

Excellent service and facilities. When getting my new irons was felt totally comfortable by James who was a great help

Recently was back again at SSGT for another fitting.
Was fitted few months ago for new irons and the whole process and experience was second to none. Been fitted in the past in other places but with all honesty SSGT gave me my first ever proper fitting. Thanks to new irons handicap went down from 6 to 3.
Recent visit was for driver shaft and utility iron and again first class service.
Less than a week and new clubs arrived.
Highly recommended to anyone who’s thinking about getting new golf clubs.

The guys at SGGT know what they are talking about. I have bought two hybrids and they fit my game perfectly.
There is an eagerness throughout the team to lift your game to the next level.
