Iron Fitting
Irons are the scoring clubs — and the ones where a poor lie angle or mismatched shaft quietly costs strokes without ever feeling "wrong." Iron fitting is about consistency and control as much as distance.
Lie Angle Comes First
Lie angle is the angle between the shaft and the ground when the club is soled correctly. If your irons are too upright, the toe sits up at address and shots tend to miss left; too flat, and the heel sits up, pushing shots right. Most golfers have never had lie angle checked, yet a 3–4° mismatch is common and directly affects where the ball starts.
We check lie angle dynamically — under impact, using impact tape or a lie board — rather than relying on static height charts, because your actual posture and swing plane at impact is what matters, not a generic height-to-lie table.

Every Variable That Shapes Your Iron Game
Lie Angle
Set dynamically at impact to keep your start line consistent from your 4-iron through your pitching wedge.
Loft Gapping
Consistent 3–4° gaps between clubs so you don't have two irons flying the same distance, or a gap you can't fill without a half-swing.
Shaft Flex & Weight
Matched to your transition and tempo — too stiff and you'll lose feel and distance; too soft and dispersion opens up under pressure.
Length
Standard length isn't universal. A half-inch change can noticeably tighten strike location for taller or shorter golfers.
Head Category
Blade, players-distance, or game-improvement — chosen based on strike consistency, not ego. We'll show you the dispersion data for each category with your own swing.
Set Composition
Where irons should stop and hybrids or wedges take over, so there's no dead zone in your yardage gaps.
Blending Categories Across the Set
Many of the best-performing bags mix head categories: a compact players-distance iron in the scoring clubs (8-iron through wedge) for feel and workability, with a slightly larger, higher-MOI head in the long irons (4–6) for extra forgiveness where mishits are most costly. We'll show you exactly how this changes your dispersion pattern before you commit to a build.
Get Your Irons Dialed In
A full iron fitting runs 60–90 minutes and covers lie, loft, length, shaft, and head across your entire set — not just one club.
