Going to get fitted

[bananas]

Going to get fitted for irons and get rid of my cheap tommy armour irons. Very excited will let you all know how it goes when i get back.

Great idea and good luck. Though Tommy Armours are not cheap clubs. I still love the old 845s.

Well worth getting fitted clubs - esp. if the place fitting the clubs know their stuff.

One question they may ask is if you want the club fitted to your 'current' swing or to the 'ideal' swing for your physique... I was asked this on fitting my club. I realised I'll never fully adopt the pro swing (I'm too short & out of shape!) so had my clubs fitted to my current swing. It didn't improve club distance for me - happily, it did improve consistency so was money well spent.

Those Tommy Armours were / are classics. They were much used and well liked by many, many players.

Good luck with the fitting and new iron selection.

So glad to hear that someone is getting fitted for clubs! As a clubfitter/maker (since 2001) it does my heart good to know that there is still hope for this trade. Too many people give up on this sport/game due to ill-fitted equipment or just plain junk. There are so many subtle nuances to clubs that can make a big difference. A name doesn't buy a game!
Good luck with the fitting and make sure they adjust the lofts and lies of EACH CLUB INDIVIDUALLY to fit your swing. By that I mean swing each club with lie tape or somesuch method to check EACH CLUB before you buy!
Good luck!

Excellent stuff - clubfitting to me is a craft which (as mentioned in my earlier comment) has made my game & swing more consistent. No two golfers have the same physique, proportions, swing characteristics so its pot luck to use standard clubs *without* having them customised.
