Andy,

If you like the clubs you have and just want them to fit, have an extention put on each club and get a new shaft for your woods. The adjustment to the irons would be about $10 a club including new grips. A good Penley ETA or similar is $70 for the shaft and $20.00 to install. Your looking about $200. to fit your present clubs to your height.

I just had my 3 Reid Lockhart wedges regrooved, swingweighted to D5 and new grips $50.00 for everything. These are stainless steel wedges. I think it 32.00 for chrome.


Technology in some cases makes a difference, but the latest greatest isn't always the answer. I carry a persimmon 5 wood, steel shaft, Burke PGA model. I hit it about 205 - 215 consisently. I play it instead of a metal 5 wood. People freak out when they see it. I just like the way it feels.

I just had my driver reshafted from a regular to a stiff to lower the trajectory bit. (Medium kick point to high kick point) Total price 95.00. Hits like a new club.

Find out from a country club who has does their club repair. Most city's have a few. Get someone with a good reputation. Golf Club makers are like mechanics some know more than others.

If your heart is set on some new sticks, Ebay has good deals on New clubs. I got a set of NEW Hogan Irons for under $300.00.

Hope this helps you decided,

Golfbald
