I'm hoping the forum can help me figure out the best way to approach my iron selection. I just started playing in the last 3-4 months but have become obsessed with the game. I had been playing with 20+ year old beginner set but on a bit of a whim I bought some TRX powerslot irons (4-PW) from Gigagolf. I am 6'7" so I knew that I needed custom clubs so I got them +1" and 3 degrees upright and I guesstimated my shaft flex. They were cheap ~$175.00 so I'm not out too much but now I wish I had taken some more time and looked into used options that I could customize (callawaypreowned) or some higher end places like Maltby or Sub70. I've been taking them to the range a couple times a week and they seem ok but I'm wondering if something else would have been better for me.
I did buy some (50 and 56 degree) TSW forged wedges from maltby and I can hit that 50 degree wedge much more consistently than I can the pitching wedge from gigagolf. I'm not sure what it is about it but I tend to hit the toe on the gigagolf PW more often than I'd like in comparison with the TSWs.
I'm looking for advice on where to go from here. Should I play with what I have for 2-3 years, take lessons, and fine tune my game first or should I get fitted first?

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping the forum can help me figure out the best way to approach my iron selection. I just started playing in the last 3-4 months but have become obsessed with the game.
