So after reading a lot about irons (game improvement vs. 'players' irons) I have decided to go with a blended set. The ones that strike my fancy are the nike pro-combo's. I have hit my friend's at the range and really like how they feel.

I believe they are discontinued, but via ebay I would be able to get what I think is a good deal on some used ones.

Here is the question...If I get a set of standard irons (length, lie, etc...)how hard, and how much $ would it be to tailor them to my swing? Since they are forged clubs they could be bent correct?

I haven't been fitted before, but I would assume that since I am tall (6' 2") I would need a slightly longer shaft. So I would be looking at re-shafting the clubs as well as possibly adjusting the lie angle.

Thanks.

you can go to any of the major retailers, golfsmith, edwin watts, golfers wharehouse ect etc and order any kind of set you want. clubs are priced per club and if you wanted you could order 3,4,5 Titleist - 7,8 Mizuno, 9,PW Taylormade... it doesn't matter. They just order them seperately on their account from the respective companies and have them shipped to you or the store.

Getting fitted for lie is pretty easy and doesn't cost you anything. Some contact tape and a plastic lie board and they'll have your lie within a couple of minutes. You can also measure your wrist to floor length and help determine if extra length is needed.

I think the question was can he buy a standard set on ebay then take them someplace and get them fitted...

The answer is yes, but I do not think that they will guarantee that they won't break a club... And the price varies so you would have to call a store and get a quote...

Hopefully, you do not need them longer, but if you do, have extensions put in as opposed to rehafting which is expensive. To reshaft, I would rather look to a good club fitter and new heads to fit your game. Lie angle is easy to change. Loft change affects the bounce of the club and I would avoid doing that to prevent too much digging.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
