fitted irons question

[williamalex1]

In the address position the heel of an iron is touching the ground , how far off the ground should the toe be, if clubs are fitted correctly ?.

Better to get a 'dynamic fitting' using a Lie Board!

Static fitting can be unreliable - because of the player's preference (and comfort) at address. While perhaps not definitive, there's a vast variety of Pro address set-up, for example.

Basically, the answer is ... Not too much and not too little! But just exactly where it should be really depends on the individual and any consequences of a too flat or too upright angle! That can be one of the benefits of fitting!

I'm not an expert, but I'd have thought the bottom of the club should be parallel to the ground.

Not quite.
A good starting point is a penny should be able to slide under the toe and almost reach midway towards the heel.

This ^^

Although I was told 2p but I guess that's inflation for you

Agree with above. Go and hit off a lie board from someone who can then assess and bend the clubs if nescessary.
