Suffered this on and off a few years back. What worked for me was trying to understand what a shank was. I had always assumed (like alot of people) that it was coming off the toe of the club.

Apologies for the delay in replying This is good advice although, personally, I don't think he should be worrying too much about getting the lie of the clubs adjusted at this stage. BL - Definitely get the length that suits you, as has been pointed out you will pick up longer clubs on ebay, Gumtree or the golf selling pages on FB. From there I'd be looking to go for a few lessons before fannying about with the lie of the clubs as you could end up needing to adjust them again.

Do you know what it is you need? 1 inch longer for example? Cheap fitting session at somewhere like American Golf might be worthwhile for you. As said in my post above its about £40 for an hour. Hard for me to answer the question about getting fitted for a new set as I've never done it. I'm lucky to be fairly standard for everything though.

A lot of places will refund the price of the fitting against the purchase mate. If you wanted to just get fitted and then buy elsewhere you will probably pay anything between £40 - £150 depending on where you go. Obviously the more you want fitted for, the more it would be. If it's just irons I would reckon 40 - 60 quid for an hours fitting session. Ideally you want it to come out 'standard' and then pick up a bargain online.

How much extra in relation to what? Do you have a specific manufacturer in mind?

Very true this. I now use Taylormade irons (after many many years with Titleist 690's) and couldn't work out why there was such a difference between my PW and 52 wedge. Turns out the PW is 43.5 Have now bought an AW wedge to bridge the gap.
