I need custom clubs. I am 6'3" and my wrist to floor is whatever. i have seen charts and talked to others about this and i need an inch on my irons. I have heard of extensions (i think that is what they are called) on used clubs to make them longer. I have also heard of Reshafting. I bought my father a new set and took his old set. (Old dunlops) I currently do no want to spend a lot on golf right now, so i will not buy a new set. So, would it be worth it to buy used better irons (say cleveland, TM,etc.), and get an extension on it, or just get the dunlops reshafted or extension.
Basically i am asking: 1) Which is better: extension or reshaft? 2) How much do these methods cost per club (aproximately)? 3) Will an upgrade from dunlops to a higher quality club make a real difference? 4) any websites that sell used clubs besides eBay?

Shaft extensions are cheap.

Iron Shaft Entensions If you extend the shafts when you get them re-gripped that will save you some cost since the grips will already be off the club. If you are more or less happy with the shafts that are currently on the clubs then adding 1" of length with extensions seems to make sense and is relatively easy to do. Re-shafting will cost more but makes sense if the shaft flex doesn't match your swing speed or if you just don't like the current shafts or want to change the flight characteristics of your shot. For most people who don't need a flex change and the shafts are in good shape, a re-shaft is probably not necessary. Since you don't want to spend a ton of money on your equipment right now, I'd seriously consider keeping the old irons and just having the shafts extended as long as you can hit the irons reasonably well. Re-gripping at the same time is a good idea and doesn't add much cost to the job. You'll have irons that play just like new at the right length for you then. One of the best online sites I've run across for used clubs is Global Golf . Their club ratings are very conservative, prices are reasonable and they carry good quality equipment.

    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
    • I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers 
    • is it though?????? "Millions of fans"?????
    • Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.
    • So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
