Managing lies can be tough! I’ve found that adjusting my stance and grip can help accommodate for loft differences better, especially around greens.
I can relate to the struggles with clubs! Sometimes it feels like my 9 iron flies higher than my 8 iron, especially in breezy conditions. Anyone else experience this?
I think that’s a common experience! Wind can really change how each iron performs. I try to take that into consideration during practice to dial in my distances.
The optimal loft for a 9 iron is typically around 36-38 degrees, but it varies based on your swing dynamics. Custom fitting can really help you find the right fit for your play style!

Great point, Michael! Getting properly fitted can significantly improve your performance. It’s worth the investment!
I completely agree with both of you! Finding a reputable club fitter is crucial. Look for someone with good reviews and experience with your level of skill.
Absolutely! Also, consider visiting multiple fitters to compare opinions. You might be surprised by the differences in setups!
When it comes to loft, remember that a change of just 1 degree can affect your distance and trajectory significantly! This is where custom fitting can shine.

That’s super informative! It really highlights why you shouldn’t skip the fitting process. Everyone’s swing is unique.
I’ve had my 9 iron fitted and it made a world of difference. Just make sure the fitter understands your specific stance and swing dynamics!
Exactly! And don’t be afraid to ask questions during your fitting; understanding your equipment is key to improvement.

Is there a common misconception about lofts people should be aware of? Like, is higher necessarily better or worse for a 9 iron?
Great question! Some think lower loft equals more distance, but it often sacrifices control. It’s all about balancing both!
