adding .5inch to irons

Nozebleed

Has anyone changed the length of their shafts? How big a difference did it make? Im thinking of adding a half inch to my standard set..not sure where i can get this done without paying serious money. I called foregolf but they,re way out of my budget..any other guy,s doing this service?

Any pro shop should be able to do this for you. I've done it myself to a wedge and it isn't difficult. The cost will depend a lot on whether they can save the grips or not. Some places will remove the grip by using an air compressor and they can then reuse them, if they have to cut them off you will need to add in the cost of new grips. You will also need to take into account that the extra length will affect the lie angle slightly, the clubs will be a little bit more upright.

Might be cheaper to look for a set with 1/2 inch already added and sell your own, what set is it?

Mizuno Mp53. I bought them at the beginning of summer..i didn,t really have a swing at the time so felt getting fitted would make no real sense..but ive developed a decent swing in the last few months..i feel i could benefit from adjusting the lie angle. But i might need a longer shaft,many of my playing partners say im very hunched addressing the ball.

Is it just length or new grips too

How much can you lengthen clubs by using the existing shafts? I thought you would need new shafts to lengthen clubs.

Just google "make shaft longer" and come back to us !

if your clubs a relatively new and grips in good order they can be saved, if not they'll need to be changed. That will cost more.

Grips are as new..it would be great if i could save them. Not much information on you tube about extending shafts.

I can do them no problem. To save the grips and extend them would cost 10€ per club and for new grips would be a bit more depending on your choice of grips.
