Sometimes, it’s not just about length but also how you’re holding the club. Have you checked your grip, too?
I’ve heard some golfers just live with it, but why suffer? Why not invest in a fitting?

And it’s not just about score. A better fit can make the game much more enjoyable.
Grips do matter! I changed mine, and it helped my swing feel more natural. Each element contributes to performance.
I’m convinced. But imagine if they start measuring our height and saying, ‘Nope, you can’t play unless you’re this tall!’
In retrospect, I wish I had paid more attention to fitting when I started playing. It would have saved me years of struggle.

That’s funny! I bet that could lead to some golf course chaos! But in all seriousness, proper fitting is vital.
I never considered my grip until my coach pointed it out. Small changes made a huge difference!
Longer irons can definitely affect your posture. I found that my stance felt awkward, leading to inconsistent swings.

I totally agree! I experienced discomfort in my back after using longer irons. It felt like I was bending over too much.
It’s interesting how even a couple of inches can throw off your alignment. Have you looked into getting custom fittings?

Custom fittings can be a game changer! Since I adjusted mine, my stance feels way more natural.
I always feel like I’m reaching for the ball with longer irons. It’s a real challenge to maintain balance in my swing.
Balance is key! I recently switched to shorter irons and I noticed an improvement in my overall stance and swing consistency.
Haha, it sounds like a game of ‘How far can I stretch?’ Instead of golf!
Exactly! Not only is it awkward, but it can also lead to injury if you’re not careful.
I have! I felt a strain in my wrist after a few rounds. It’s a reminder to listen to my body.
Speaking of injury, has anyone experienced any specific physical problems like wrist or shoulder pain from longer irons?
