About a year ago I got fitted for a new set of irons from the nearest Golf Tec, which happens to be in Ft Collins, Co 145 miles away. I called in advance, Had a nice conversation with one of the coaches. He set me up with "resident club guru/geek" for an iron fitting cost was $125.00. I had never been properly fit for any of my clubs so it was all a new experience. I had an absolute blast. Alex, my fitter was very knowledgeable, I hit balls for at least 1.5 hours. We went through a lot of different head/shaft combinations. You could see the numbers for launch, spin, & decent angle just keep getting better as he eliminated things that would not work. I ended up purchasing a new set of Mizuno 919 HM Pro with Steel Fiber shafts. I love the new clubs and my elbow doesn't hurt when I play.
Maybe I got lucky
Hope this helps
