New to the Forum, first post. Maybe too late for this, but I'm getting fitted for irons tomorrow and I'm not entirely sure what to expect. I'd love any advice, fitting experiences, questions to ask, etc. that anyone has before I get in there.
Background: Currently I've improved to a 17 handicap and have stalled there. Had been casually playing for years with mostly hand-me-down clubs, but over the past 2 years starting to invest in my clubs and game. Current irons are 2002 Big Bertha's (graphite shafts) that I got from my dad 10 years ago. Current distances: 9-135, 7-158, 5-180 (worked hard to know these pretty well this year).
Going into my fitting, I'm not leaving tomorrow purchasing immediately. I'd like to spend in the $1,000-$1,200 for a new set all said and done, but I don't know if that's realistic?
What should I go in thinking about? What questions do I need to ask?
In terms of clubs in general, I like the idea of a players distance iron (Apex 19, T200, etc.), but maybe I'll be better off with a game improvement iron (Maverick, T300) as my contact isn't the best and I could use some forgiveness.
