Thanks Joe and others. Yes - I did seem to hit them well during the fitting. I went to a certified fitter at a local club - not a box store. He had all his machines and gadgets and that lie board. I'm female but tall - the clubs I had before were men's clubs standard length so he recommended stay with men's clubs cut down by 3/4" from standard length. 7 iron fitting specs were lie angle 63.5 or 1UP as they say, with senior flex. They feel very SHORT and not sure what adjustments to make with shorter shaft and change in lie angle. I know to hit hybrids like irons - had a 3 RBZ HB in the bag for a while with mixed results - much more consistent using standard RBZ 3 wood in fairways. The RBZs are senior flex - so no change there. Taylor Made irons were standard flex - R80 - too stiff for my swing specs...but I did pretty well with them! They were just old. .

Hi - first time poster but have a major issue. I'm not a good golfer but this summer shot best round ever at 89! So naturally my inflated ego and I went to get custom fitted new irons to replace my 30 year-old Taylor Made Bubble shaft off the rack irons. Yea - you heard that right - bubble shafts. I got callaway great big bertha irons 7, 8, 9, PW, and 5 and 6 hybrids. I've never been able to hit hybrids well or even close to consistently - but my ego again let them talk me into it. I played with these new "custom" clubs and it was god -awful - I mean really awful. Think a made a multi-hundred dollar mistake! What's happening in my shots - - You name it. Shanking, topping, hooking...and salt in the wound is when I do manage a good connection - ball goes about 15-20 yards shorter than my old clubs. Probably one of those golfers who is not good enough for custom clubs - so what now? Callaway says they only take returns "unused" - and all these custom settings and stuff probably are sunk costs. I've played with them twice. Advice?
