Looking to get some new irons to replace my 5+ year old Titleist DCI 962s.
I was fitted for these when I bought them. My specs for these were 1/2" short and 2 degrees flat. I'm currently about a 10 handicap though I've been as low as a 6 before some back problems slowed down my practice and playing routine. I went for a rough fitting a couple months ago and after hitting off the lie board with different clubs the pro told me it looked like I was 2 degrees upright. I could not believe that I could go from 2 flat to 2 upright. I have had some back problems over the last few years but come on. Went home and took apart my swing. Found that at the top of the backswing I was regripping the club causing it to be extremely shut though impact/toe down. I'm pretty sure this is more the cause of my hitting out on the toe on the lie board. I've been hitting everything on the toe with my irons for several months. Why didn't this guy diagnose this before recommending specs? This has got me worried about getting fitted for my new irons. Question: How much consistency should you have developed before being fitted? If you're swinging really bad when you get fitted are they going to fit you with clubs that are compensating for your swing faults? A rare demo day is coming up near home and I want to be ready to get fitted for irons as well as dial in my R7/shaft combination.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Question: How much consistency should you have developed before being fitted?

Obviously the best way to fit someone, is if their swing is repeatable, bad or good, a qualified fitter can work either angle, and help improve upon some faults.

If the swing is not repeatable whatsoever, (the majority of us) then getting fit for physical attributes/measurements, is probably gonna help increase your consistency if you had clubs just not totally fir for you.

make any sense?

So, even if I don't trust my swing yet, you'd recomend a fitting? I've been considering a fit but I'm not familiar with the process.
