lengthening clubs/custom fit

Bluefoam

I am using my dads old Callaways. They are about 5-6 years old and do me fine - I'm not a great golfer, but am looking to improve.

I'm quite tall so was thinking of getting the clubs custom fitted for me. I am looking for a very cost effective option - so a new set would not seem the most sensible approach (or is it?)

Is it worth while getting my clubs altered? or are they too old to be worth lengthening? should I be looking for a new set?

It is just the irons I would need done - 5,6,7,8,9 (PW & SW??)

I just got a second hand callaway hyper x driver for bargain price so it wont need doing & was thinking of getting a hybrid to replace the 3 & 4 irons...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...

bump,

Anyone had old clubs fitted with new shafts?

It would be worth having a look at a free online fitting first.
It will give you an idea whether you need longer clubs or not.
There is a good one on the Ping site - http://www.ping.com/fitting/webfit.aspx

If you still think you need your clubs adjusted you could then go for a proper custom fitting.
The results could mean a number of things need changing - e.g. longer shafts, different flex shafts, lie angles adjusted, etc.
The more things you change the more expensive it gets.

If you just want the clubs lengthened - the most cost effective option is to do it yourself.
I've done it for a fairway wood and it's not difficult, but I can understand why some people would baulk at doing it.
