Buying Individual Irons Already Becoming a Headache (Shaft Lengths)

[Bordois]

After buying half a set (so far) of individual clubs from different vendors, I see my wedges are now longer than my 7 and 9 irons.

The problem started with the fact that I have very long arms, and am fit to a PING Gold dot club, even though I'm 5'10". So I bought 7 and 9 iron PING gold dot G410s. The 7 iron is 36.75in and the 9 iron is 35.75in. I will say that these do feel short, but I believe they are only .25" shorter than Ping's "standard shaft length" on these clubs.

I also ordered a couple PING gold dot G25 wedges off ebay. To my surprise, once I got them I see the shafts on the wedges are much longer than on the irons. Uh oh. They're also a random brand called "Precision" which must not have been stock. Of course, the guy doesn't accept returns, and the "precision" shafts are listed on the ad, so there's no battling out of that one. 

Whats the best approach here? Return the G410 7 and 9 iron and look for something a bit longer? Cut a good inch or two off the wedges? Completely re-shaft the wedges? Or just deal with it and choke up a bit on the wedges?

Thanks

Normally trimming to length is done on the butt end of the shaft, so I don’t see why you couldn’t just get them trimmed to length.

A gold dot club is 4° flat IIRC, but it doesn’t mean it’s a set length. A gold dot club can be anywhere from -1/2” to +1 1/2”.
