Start with an internet search to identify what irons you are interested in and read player reviews for player feedback (super game improvement, game improvement, or players club). Next, seek out a reputable retailer, fitting center, or best of all a Class “A” PGA Professional with fitting experience. Talk to them about your questions and what you feel is within your budget. When you have chosen 3 brands/types and have hit them, go through a fitting session with a launch monitor, checking launch angle, loft and lie, spin rate, shaft options, sound, feel, etc. Preferably outdoors yo see live ball flight. Ask lots of questions, take notes, and ask for and make a decision. See if you can demo a set for on-course feedback. Again, see a reputable fitter and ask for previous client feedback. Your PGA Professional should point you in the right direction. CHRIS RUDI, PGA and Expert Club Fitting Specialist.
