Fitted for irons

So you want to keep your existing clubs and just considering re-shafting all of them at a different length and shaft type OR are you considering new clubs?

Having the data won't really do much unless you're willing to do something about it and even then I'd probably say you can get a bigger bang for your buck just becoming more consistent and then getting fitted.

You can get fit today, change everyone of your shaft lengths and in the next year your swing continues to evolve, your game improves and you need to be fit again.

If money and time is not that much of a big deal and you're willing to invest the money into new equipment sure...a fitting would be beneficial. If not, it won't do much. You can get your numbers just as easily with a couple of hours at Loft 18 or any indoor simultator.

It really depends on your goals. I mean it’s really dependent on how much are you trying to improve. I would highly recommend 6 months to a year of regular lessons and practice before jumping into a fitting. I got fit 3 years ago for some player improvement irons when I was around a 12 handicap, now i’m a 4 and I had to get refit into a players iron this year.

My son has the same problem. He has P790's which were good when he was still learning and hitting more off center shots. Now he needs something more precise so he doesn't miss so many greens long because the ball rockets off of his club. One of the main reasons for this was his spin rate, with the club and shaft set up he had his 7 iron was producing around 4500rpm and the ball would sometimes rocket off the club face and be too long. He just got fitted for the Ping Blueprint S and the spin rate jumped to around 6500 with a higher ball flight and steeper decent which helps him hold more greens. His carry with the Blueprint S was 175 which is pretty good for a 130lb 17yo. The bad thing is is that those clubs are almost $1800 after the grip upgrade and tax and I just bought his 790's a little over a year ago. Thank God his driver is good, I don't want to fork out another $1000 for that. LOL
