Hi all, this is my second year of golf and I'm starting to really get into it. I shoot around 85 from the white tees on most public courses. I'm using hand-me-down taylormade super steel irons right now (a model from 2000) and I'm finally thinking about putting money into a nice set of irons.
I have a few concerns though.
I've never had lessons, so I know there is lots of room for improvement in my swing. However, I already drive 260 and hit my 7 165 and I think my swing speed is about 95 mph. If what I've read is right, then I'm right where I need to be for a stiff flex. I don't see myself getting much faster than that, just hopefully a bit more fundamentally correct.
My question is, should I wait until I get lessons and hopefully a better swing before getting fit? Or is getting fit more focused on your height/arm length?
And if they tell me I need a 1.5* flat lie angle and thats it, should I spend the extra money and order brand new clubs and get their specifications or is buying used clubs and getting them adjusted somewhere just as good?
I realize this is a long post and I appreciate if you've read it all. Anything helps. Thanks.
