to recycle or not to recycle...

Ok, so I have been looking at new clubs for about a year, and I still haven't forked over the dough to get em. One of the main reasons that I want new clubs is because they are too short for me. I am 6'4, and my clubs were given to me by a guy who is only about 6'1. I'm pretty sure they were too short for him also. My question is this... does anyone know if it would be cheaper to jsut buy all new shafts (fitted by a store) rather than to buy all new clubs? I haven't looked into this for myself yet... like I said, it was just a thought I had on the way home today. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

It all depends on how much you are willing to pay for new shafts, and how much your willing to pay if you looking to get all new clubs. Find what you like out of shafts and what you like out of new clubs and compare the prices and there you have your answer. If i were in your situation i'd spring for new clubs, yes you'd have to get used to them and adjust but in the long run it'll be much more worth your money.

Depending on how short they are, you may be able to just extend the shaft. You (or the golf shop) take off the grip and epoxy an extention in, cut it to the right length and put on a new grip. The places around here charge about $7 a club plus the cost of a new grip.

As you lengthen the club the shaft flex will effectively become softer, and the swingweight will go up, but if you like the clubs at all it would probably be worth trying on one or two clubs.

Thanks for the input, I will definitely be checking out the prices on both.
