I am going to get some new clubs in the next few months and will be getting fit at a local custom club-builders shop.  The question I now have, is whether blueprinting the clubs is a worthwhile investment for a mid to high handicap golfer, especially at $35 - $50 per club depending on the shaft.

Thoughts?

Tough to say if it matters short term, but as you get better it maybe a wise investment.  If you decide to do it, keep us posted so we can hear about your experience.

If the money bothers you at all I wouldn't do it.  Having clubs that are precisely consistent mixed with a swing that is not isn't going to make you a better player.  I did one set a few years ago and I loved them, I thought it was great.  My next set was off the rack and I kinda figured I justified the expense with the first set but I don't think it made that much of a difference.

My thought is that it likely won't make a difference if your game. Especially not enough difference to justify $280(3-pw) extra for your clubs.

Haha, I grew up an Irish fan in Indiana but went to Michigan.  One of the best rivalries in sports.   This years game is going to be awesome, first night game at Michigan Stadium.

This was kinda my thinking hard to justify at that price, and I believe it is probably a fair price for the amount of work that would have to be done.

Does anyone know if you can blueprint the irons later on down the road, i.e. a year or two after buying them?

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
