Online and in-person fitting solve the same problem from opposite directions. A bay session measures your swing precisely against a limited rack of equipment. A remote fitting describes your swing approximately against a very large modelled equipment set. Neither is universally better; they trade measurement precision against search breadth. This comparison sets out the trade-offs so you can pick on your own terms rather than on whoever is selling.
01
In person wins here, and it is not close. A launch monitor and a trained eye capture delivery, strike location and dispersion directly. Remote fitting infers those from reported flight, misses and current equipment. If your swing is unusual — very steep, very late, extreme in tempo — live measurement is genuinely valuable.
02
Remote wins here by orders of magnitude. A fitting bay carries a shortlist of shafts and heads. A modelled search evaluates head, shaft and specification combinations across the whole major-manufacturer landscape, including combinations no bay stocks and none you would have thought to ask for.
03
A bay fitting requires travel, an appointment and a block of time, and premium sessions are priced accordingly. TruePath Pro is $249 and Elite is $349, completed from home on your schedule. For golfers outside a major metro, remote is often the only realistic route to a full-bag fitting at all.
04
Ask any fitter what they earn on the build. Where the fitting fee is recovered through club sales, the recommendation and the inventory are related. NORBU holds no brand agreements, so the blueprint names whatever the analysis names. Equipment is purchased separately. Your TruePath blueprint can be taken to a qualified retailer or custom club builder. TruePath fulfillment and validated build-partner options may also be available.

Reading about specifications is useful. Knowing which ones are yours is the point. TruePath models your game against 150,000+ combinations with Pro and 1,000,000+ with Elite, and returns a full-bag blueprint.
