I am 24 years old and I am going to get back into golf. Currently I have two sets of older irons and I am looking for opinions. Both are pings, one set are the ping eyes and the others are ping eye two's. I am 6'6 and I am thinking I am going to need to get whatever Irons I end up swinging fitted.

Are these still good clubs to swing for an average golfer?
Would it be worth getting either set fitted?
Or would it be best to buy a used newer set of irons and geting fitted if I play on keeping them for a while?
What are some decently priced used irons that would be good for a starter?

Thanks for your help. Troy

Lots of people still play Eye 2's. As far as getting fitted goes, if you played those irons before and got your handicap down below scratch as you indicate, I don't think it's necessary.

thats not my handicap, I just put that. I wish though. What does it cost to get them fitted? Would it be worth doing that to my old set of ping eye two's?

If's thats not your real handicap, you should probably change it. You might get different answer from people, because they will think you are really a better golfer than you really are.

most places do not charge you to get fitted if you buy the clubs there, but like everything, things vary from place to place

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
