Lanny's point has validity, that, if you can fix the swing, you should do that first. Certainly, for someone still shooting over 100 for example, that would absolutely be a better place to start
But for most golfers that have gotten their handicap down to maybe 15 or less, most will never really improve much beyond where they now are. And what Lanny is ignoring, is that club fitting can make a significant difference, especially if your clubs don't currently align with your skill set.
Sure, if I want to lose 40 lbs, I should wait to buy a new suit until after I have lost the weight. But that ignores the situation many people are in, which is that, if you have never fitted your clubs, they probably aren't optimized to your swing. And if not, then getting fitted can, and likely will, make a pretty big difference for you.
I HIGHLY recommend getting fitted.
