I have been fitted for my driver and irons indoors, or at least hit off of mats out of a bay for the irons and had great results.

Now I'm going to go get fitted for some wedges, I only have 2 wedges and have some serious gap issues as you'd imagine, but getting fit for wedges on a mat just seems wrong.

Titleist does "Titleist Thursdays" at a local course and those fittings are done outside and I was thinking of going with Titleist wedges anyway to match my irons. Am I right in thinking that getting fit for wedges on a mat is ineffective? I'm sure its fine for working out my gap distancing, but as far as picking a grind and bounce I'm not sure.

Yes. Fitting wedges is all about turf interaction.

Hitting off a mat is like running on a treadmill.

Hopefully they use decent balls. TXG did a video on fitting a premium ball vs. range ball LINK

Yeah, there was practically nothing on club fitting on youtube before they came.

And they did it indoors.

If you have the option to get fit with a real ball indoors with a good launch monitor vs range balls outdoors, give me the real ball every single time. People don't realize how different range balls are and how much they affect numbers.

I don’t see how you can get fitted on a mat for wedges. The whole point is to find the correct bounce for your swing.
