Need y’all’s help to see what to do in a situation like this. I bought these irons from a WRXer Saturday. Took them on Sunday Golf Galaxy in the Nashville area to get the L/L adjusted. And this is how I picked them up this afternoon. when I bought them they were only hit 3-5 times all indoors.

Looks like somebody didn't know how to use the machine properly. But I'm no expert.

Seeing as I have never had a fitting and my driver is seemingly producing unreal spin rates, I decided to go to Golf Galaxy and go get fitted for a new driver shaft.

Interesting they had so many left handed demos in store. But then again, the rest of your story is equally far fetched.
David in FL
Interesting. I think a big key for any monitor work is developing a point of reference with a club you know, as you did with your own 8-iron.
TristanBlevins
Some food for thought: did he have you hit the same iron with two different shafts or did he have you hit your irons versus a new iron with a different shaft. If it's the latter, there is likely also a loft discrepancy contributing to the extra distance. Just a couple things to keep in mind while making your decision.

Just a note here: It will be cheaper to reshaft your irons than buy new ones. You may prefer the new ones, but from a cost standpoint it is cheaper to reshaft them since you're only paying for the shaft instead of an entire club.

When I bought my irons the guy in shop suggested we should all change clubs every 3 years! To keep up with technology, and to make sure they're fitted to evolving swings! Which I guess there could be some truth in this for some people! but as a golf salesman, he would say this! As for clubs only lasting 3/4 years, then they must be selling some poor quality clubs!.
