How do you know if your irons fit?

Question

im not sure if my irons fit how can i tell if they do?

Answer 1

There is an easy way to check to see if your clubs fit right. First grab a 5 iron and set up as if you were going to hit a golf ball. Have another person check to see of the toe of the club is off the ground or if the heel is off the ground. What you are looking for is for the bottom of the club to sit flush with the ground. If at address the toe or heel are off the ground then the lie of the club head needs to be adjusted. A "toe down" set up will cause the toe of the club to hit the ground resulting in shots that go right. If it appears to be more "toe up", then you will have shots that will go left because the inner part of the club head will hit first causing the clubhead to close. Ask your local golf pro if the shafts, or even the irons are right for your style of play as well.

Answer 2

If you didn't have your clubs fitted when you bought them, it's a pretty safe assumption that they are not fit to you as well as they could be.

Answer 3

You can normally tell by your divot.  If the end of your divot is even, then your clubs fit.  If the right corner is longer than the left and/or the left side is deeper than the right, then the heel of your club has dug into the ground. Your clubs "could" be too upright.  If the left corner is longer than the right and/or the right side is deeper than the left, then the toe of the club has dug into the ground.  Your clubs "could" be too flat.  If you hit a lot of shots thin, then your clubs "could" be too short.  If you hit a lot of shots fat, then your clubs "could" be too long.

These are just general rules.  Some of it has to do with your swing and ball position also.  The best way to know if your clubs fit is to be fitted by a professional.

Stock clubs normally fit a golfer from 5'7" to 6'1".

Answer 4

Check the impact marks on the sole of your irons. If you are marking heavily on the toe and slicing or pushing the ball, you could use a more upright lie. If you are marking the heel and hooking or pulling the ball, you could use a more flat lie.
