I am in the market for a new set of irons and I also want to get fitted for shafts for my woods. Current clubs are Titleist DCI 962s, 1/2" short and 2 degrees flat. Woods are 3wd - TM R580, TM R7 - stiff, 9.5 degrees. I've been as low as a 6 handicap but back problems have prevented me from practicing and playing as much as I like so I'm hovering around a 10 to 12 right now. My swing is pretty consistent but I'm hitting everything off the toe with my irons. I'm hitting my woods pretty good. My question is, how much consistency should I develop before getting fitted for a new set of irons and wood shafts? I went for just a rough fitting a couple months ago where one of the pros told me I needed to go 2 degrees upright which was 4 degrees more than I was fitted with my Titleist irons a few years prior (2 degrees flat). I couldn't believe this was right. Even with the new Titleist irons. I went home and played with my swing for a few hours and found I was regripping at the top of my backswing and shutting down the face dramatically at impact. This was causing the toe to hit first. This caused a little skepticism about being fitted. I didn't understand why this guy didn't see this instead of just telling my I needed 2 degrees upright. It's not like he was pressed for time. I was there for almost an hour and a half and he was having me hit all kinds of different heads and shafts. We were having a great time but again I'm hesitant about my next fitting for new clubs. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated. Sorry for the rant.
Thanks...
