Okay, So i am 14 years old and i am still growing.Im looking for a new irons set. We dont want to buy a brand new set again because i grew out of my old ones.So i thought we could go buy the (a)Head of club and (b)Shaft and grip.
And whenever i grow out of my clubs just replace the shaft with a longer one.(i would have golfsmith or some custom store to do it.
Sound like a good idea?
Pros Cons.

why don't you just reshaft your current clubs with your new lengths

if you want to but new ones get them fitted then and there, and then when you grow some more reshaft those with the new lengths

yeah i hope you realize that you dont have to reshaft, you can have them extended. my brother in law is 6'6 no one makes a set long enough for him so he had his extended an inch and a half.

You can easily get some "forged like" heads, assembled for under $30 each...and these would be quality KZG irons...and as you grow, you can have the clubs refitted for new lie angles (almost no cost and SHOULD be no extra cost if you're buying KZG)...and in a "worst case scenario" get charged for shaft extenders.

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
