Re: New fitting idea **open discussion**

The other interesting point is that if all the club lengths are the same, then the lies (set at the factory, in increasingly upright lies) will get more upright - forcing you to be more upright. So now we're back to equalizing the lies for clubs of the same length.

Everyone's thoughts are welcome on the subject.[/quote]

Wouldn't this also change the flight of the ball?

I have read some golfers (Darren Clarke being one) like to have more upright long irons and flatter short irons because it is easier to draw an upright iron and fade a flatter iron.

Also would not having every iron the same length also make your yardages closer together and not give you the seperation you need between clubs? I always thought that was one of the reasons that clubs become shorter to slow down the swing speed as well as promoting more of an steep swing.

Though it is not like I know much in this area, so if it works great. Though I would like to hear the results.
