True Spec Golf full bag fitting $450.
Well, you're going to drop $3-5k on a full bag of clubs, and you're concerned about the fitting fee?
And I don't have any knowledge regarding True Spec's fitters and/or builds, but I do have tons of knowledge with Club Champion. For example, a 20 handicap lady I know went there to get fitted. She hits her 7-iron ~100 yards. They fit her in TaylorMade p790's with shafts that had a frequency reading of 307 on her 7-iron! Needless to say she couldn't get them off the ground. I've seen quite a few golfers that had to be refit after going to CC.
But without any recommendations, you're going to have to get lucky to have a fitter with a clue no matter where you go.

A proper full bag fitting will take 3 hours give or take, so that's $150 per hour for a (supposed) expert's time. For clubs that will last years. For clubs that fit you, not clubs that you have to adapt your swing to. $450 might be a little high, but it's certainly in the ballpark.
Let's remember, getting custom fit clubs isn't for everybody. It's expensive compared to buying off the rack. But the way they react and feel is totally different. And well worth it to many.
