Golf Club question/recommendations/ advice needed.

I had a set of irons custom fit about 10 years ago. I am a tall guy so standard clubs wouldn't work. A lot of my problem is my swing i know, but when I took lessons the instructor suggested getting my irons re-shafted to extend them a bit. Apparently they were still too short. I have always felt as if they were still too short. I am currently thinking of upgrading irons, but I really don't know which would be better. re-shafting the iron's I have, or getting a new set of irons custom fit again. What do you golf people think I should do? I have put new grips on them in the last 5 yrs and that didn't really help as that was suggested by the instructor as well.

I don't think club extensions are that big of an expenditure, right? Try getting your old clubs right, then upgrade with that length in mind. At least that's what I would do.

A buddy of mine I play with is 6'5". He was custom fit once and all his clubs were +2" longer than standard. He now orders all his clubs either +1 1/2" or +2".
Edwin Watts is a good place to find out what you need as far as shaft length and flex. Also going to one of the local demo days is a great way to hit the new clubs and talk with the factory reps who will also help you with club fitting.

Standard to most golf companies is 6'0"...every two inches you go up in height you will need to extend the length of your clubs .25".
i.e.: if you are 6'4" tall you need a PW that is 36.25" long (standard titleist PW is 35.75") and a 9I that is 36.50" long (again, standard titleist measure is 36.00")
Here is the chart

Haven't read any answers yet but.
It is about 35$ a club to reshaft. I'm guessing you will need 10 clubs done.
It is about 12$ to add an extension to your clubs.
Most sets you will spend under $400 on are not able to be ordered at custom specs. So you will still have to spend the money on extending them.
In short, Just extend them.
