Hi, I’m getting back into the sport and I’m curious to see if you were fitting me, what would be your starting point in terms of shaft type, weight, length, lie angle, etc.
I’m 38, 6’4″ with shoes, 37″ wrist to floor w/ shoes, swing my 7 iron around 80-83mph and carry it about 160-165 if memory serves me correct. Happy to provide additional details if it’d help.
Thanks!
First, wrist to floor means nothing other that telling me what your wrist to floor measurement is. Has nothing to do with determining the best length for someone. To properly fit someone, you have to see them swing, evaluate their ability, discuss their wants and needs, etc. So, best advise is to go to a qualified club fitter.
That being said, based on what you have told me, the only thing I could guess at is you are probably would need an S flex shaft in the irons. That is based solely on the 7 iron info you gave me. Your tempo and how you load the shaft could alter that, but based solely on the 7 iron club head speed and distance, I would say S flex in the irons. Can’t even guess the other aspects of the club specs without doing an actual fitting. Anyone that tells you they can based on your height and wrist to floor measurement, walk away.
