Need help with question about custom shafts and clubs. please help! :)

Hey, i was looking to get a new set of irons. possibly the acer high trajectory irons that got rated good.

My main concern was what shafts and stuff i should get? I was looking at getting them from Hireko golf, and they have online custom fitting and stuff, but when it gets to shafts, there are so many different brands and types and stuff i am going crazy trying to figure this out.

I am 24 years old, 5'5 125 pounds.
i went to golf galaxy and hit on the ball launch monitor and they claim that my swing speed was anywhere from 79-86 mph. usually it was around 82-84 mph.

Would I want steel shafts or graphite shafts? are steel more accurate? and which flex would i want from my shafts? light, regular, or stiff? i assume it's not stiff because of my slow swing speeds, but I don't know.

any help with club length, shaft suggestions and the like would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you! :)

You should go with regular flex steel shafts.
I was just checking these irons at Hireko today, and I found that these sets, after chosing the custom shaft and grip, they will cost around $300-$350. In all honesty, it's not worth it paying that much for a set of knock off clubs, with all respect to Hireko.

For that amount you can get a good set from a known brand. The Ben Hogan BH-5 for example are great irons for under $200 new. Several Adams golf iron sets will cost that much as well. Just checkout online stores and reputable ebay sellers. Just don't spend a lot of money on irons you will want to change in a year or so.

Hireko is good for buying grips, shafts, and other club making components, but clubs, I don't think so.

thanks.. my total didn't come out to that much... i just left the standard grip because my grip size is normal, and the shafts depending on which ones i pick don't add much, i just don't know if i should go steel or graphite and which company makes the best shaft? so many options


i need 4iron - pw. and the configuration i have now is 180.94

i have a 3 hybrid i would use, so i don't need a 3 iron in the set.

these were just one of the clubs i was looking at since i'm not the greatest and i'm on a budget. i'd like to spend UNDER 300 on clubs.
