I'm 6'4" and I need my clubs to be custom fitted (+1", 2 deg up).

Are there any websites where I can find non standard length/lie in the searches?  I'm not really looking for any new clubs at the time, but it's nice to window shop sometimes without worrying about the whole custom fitting after the club would arrive.  I would love to just open the box and play with it.

If there aren't any websites, maybe some tips on things to type into google? Nothing I'm typing seems to be returning any decent results.  Thanks!

2° up from what?  One company's 6 iron might be advertised at 61°, while another company's 6 iron might be advertised at 62.5°.  So does your 6 iron need to be 63°, or 64.5°.  Some might space the long end at .5° increments, some might space all of them at 1° increments.

Then factor in the manufacturing tolerances of +/- 1°.  If you have a stock  6 iron that is at 61.5°, and the 7 iron came a little off and is off by 1° and is at 61°.......

If a fitter isn't willing to fit EACH iron to the exact lie angle you need for THAT club using a dynamic fitting method, go find another fitter.  +1" alone doesn't automatically mean 2° for THAT person, club head, and length.  In fact, the longer the club, the flatter the lie angle should be.

glock's comments capture the situation.

When I was switching irons in 2009, I found the Callaway X20 and X22 family fit me "off the rack" as far as lie angle goes. The Ping G10 and i10, however, seemed a bit upright from the Black "normal" models - lots of misses to the left.

If you're willing to spend $ for a current production model of irons, clubsmiths can custom-fit you for the model, and order you from the factory a custom-fit set - lie and shaft length. And, unless you get exotic grips or shafts, it won't cost you much more than an off-the-rack set.

Focus, connect and follow through!
