Interesting that quite a few of you use so few irons. I did take the 4 iron out of the bag and replaced it with a 21o hybrid. But I seem to hit my 19o fairway wood better, so I use that more. Perhaps something like a 7 wood would be a better option?

Yeah, I was fitted at American Golf.

Yeah, good point. As it was my first fitting I didn't really know what to expect. It was more about the fitting using a 7 iron, and how that would impact the longer clubs. I always struggled to hit my 4 iron using a standard length, it might be worse with an extra inch on the shaft. But as...

I currently play a set of TM Rocketbladez standard length and lie. I got fitted (my first ever fitting) for a new set of irons a few days ago (P790) and they felt great. However, I was fitted for shafts +1" and lie 1 degree upright. Looking at the usual fitting tables, it says I should...
