I am looking to purchase a set of Titleist Z Mustle Forged Irons?

Question

This will be my 5th set of Titleist forged irons and I have yet to have them custom fit for myself. I am wondering if getting the irons fit for me would make a difference in my game? I have always played standard length, lie, etc. in the past. At the current time I am a 3 or 4 handicap and wondering if a custom set would help me shave a stroke or two off my game. I am 6"5' tall

Answer 1

Well if I was going to plunk down 900.00 for a set of Irons I would certainly have them fit to me....particularly when the fitting is free.  all kidding aside...It could actually shave a stroke or 2.  but  You are so close to scratch with "off the shelf" ....I just don't know if it will make that much difference.  Still..It can't hurt you at all.

Answer 2

Your height has nothing to do with if you need custom length clubs.  As long as your arms are in proportion to your body - standard length should be fine as is born out by your playing standard length up to this point and achieving a low index.  As to loft that is really a matter of preference, if you want to hit the ball higher or lower you can have the loft adjusted.  Lie angle is important to help you hit the ball solidly on the sweet spot every time and is the one I would give most consideration to.  As mentioned if you buy a whole set of top name brand irons at a Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith they will be happy to check the lie angle free for you.

Answer 3

If you are a 4 handicap., and six foot five, get fit. Most retailers do this for free when you buy a whole set. This could be the difference that brings you to a scratch handicap.
