I am in the market for a new set of irons. I have been relegated to perusing internet pics because I am in a no man's land when it comes to actually handling clubs. There's a Dick's about an hour from me but they don't stock what I am interested in. Nobody around here seems to stock anything but game improvement irons. Ok, back to the question. while looking at major manufacturer's sites I could not find a picture of the club at address behind the ball. There are all kinds of pics showing angles you would never see during a shot but not 1 like I am looking for. Maybe I am wrong but wouldn't you like to see clubs pictured like the attached pic? maybe they are and I just haven't unlocked the secrets of the internet.

I would check out the websites of the club makers you are interested in. Then find the, "Locate a Fitter". You can usually find a fitter at a golf course. Go see if they will allow you to view the golf clubs.

Even if you went into a better store you would still have the same problem finding what you want. Gi's are the rage. I'm in the Hou area and I have been to every store looking for the Tour 100. I finally found a 5 iron head in a fitters cabinet. Compared to what I have I was not overly impressed and just gave up. 

Try what others have suggested and maybe you could find a demo day nearby.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
