I had an iron fitting this afternoon. First off I found out I need 2* up in my X20s. That alone made a huge difference. Then the pro mentioned that I was standing up to keep the toe of my clubs from digging into the ground. I'll ship my irons to Callaway first thing in the morning to be bent. I never dreamed about having my irons fit before. I thought that was only something very good players did. All I can saw is I'm sorry I waited so long. I could have had a lot more enjoyment out of the game if I hadn't been fighting clubs and trying to compensate for them all these years.

I had mine bent 1 degree up and all extended by an inch and a half. I know what you mean--it will make the world in difference to your golf game. Before, I was squatting down, pushing shots off to the side, the toe would dig into the ground, etc. etc...

Good luck with those clubs... fairways, and greens, I suppose.

I just got a new set of Taylormade R7 irons and i was fit for them. I knew i was going to need fit since i'm so tall. Well I needed +1.5 inches and them turned up 3*. After playing 3 rounds i've seen a huge difference now. I just shot my low round of about 3 years, an 80 on a par 72.

Just curious, how tall are you? I'm 6'3" and I'm thinking I might needed a little extra length.

I'm a ball marker shy of 6'3" and my very first set of irons were +0.5" and they didn't work for me. My curresnt set is standard length and I have no problems with them.

somewhere in 6'4"-6'5". I've noticed a giant difference now and i'm glad i made sure to get fit and just not buy right off the racks.

I went to Old Oakland but Golfsmith and Golf Galaxy can do the same thing. When I checked with Golfsmith they were still waiting for a lot of stuff to arrive for fittings. I just checked Callaway's page for demo days and iron fitting and decided to go with Old Oakland after talking with them.

    • Ok so as of this point the bug persists. We figured out that I can select the tees (gold or blue) manually and it resets the back 9 scorecard to the Lake course, but as soon as I add #10 manually, it automatically sets the back 9 as Ridge and no amount of playing around with the tees changes it. And it still doesn't save #10 when I sign off. Andy from support said he will speak to the tech team about it, but it seems there isn't anything either of us can do at this point. I've accepted that #10 is simply lost. I now have 17 correct holes and that's going to have to be good enough.

    • Played 9 yesterday at Rowley Country Club. Played a scramble format with my brother as my teammate and shot a 40 together. Wasn't good enough to beat my friends but had a great time. Had a decent few shots highlighted by a 174 yard 4 iron to 8 feet. Missed the birdie of course lol. 18 at Pease today.
