I am average in build, 5’9” tall, 175 lbs., and seemingly avg length arms, and have been working on my swing with a pro the past few years. 5 Handicap. Here is my delima: I bought a used set of Irons (MP 68 with tour TT shafts) that are ½ longer than std shaft and 1 degree upright on the lie. I did not need the ½ longer shaft for my build, but did not think it was such a bad thing, as I could simply choke up a little on the grip which I like to do anyway. After hitting on a lie board to check the lie for my swing, I ended up having to adjust the irons to 4 degrees flat (could use another ½ to 1 degree flatter to get a perfect mark on the lie board). That was surprising to me and the club fitter? Would the longer shaft be part of the seeming large degree of flatness? I do not believe my swing is unusually flat as my pro would have advised me on that by now.…Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That's like comparing Borg Mac or Laver to Federer. Major equip. changes and athletes approach to fitness, etc.. Tiger has a great start on the record books though.

Last time played was last week. Par 69 course, not the most challenging of courses, more of a confidance builder course for me, i like it. Shot 6 over with a bogey, double bogey finish. It was hot and I was tired.

215 yard par 3, pin in the back left. Drew a 3 iron to within 15'. Made par, very happy.
