Thanks, is that an outdoor fitting where you can see ball flight?

Yeah, its at the driving range there, so get to see proper ball flight.

Lessons he (Mark) does are great as well, if only for the 5-7 minute review video he sends you after a lesson. So much better then trying to remember everything that was said in the lesson.

Great thanks. Killarney isn't too far from me, should be even quicker with macroom bypassed. So could be an option

Lackabane was the name of the 3rd course that used to be there before Liebherr swallowed up some holes with expansion. There are still about 6 holes in play for the academy. It's a great place to practice.

So i had my fitting, and picked out my new irons today. Was a really good session, where a lot i didn't really understand was explained to me (offset, kick point etc...). Tried around 7 different clubs, got data on all of them with various shafts, then measured out the length, grip thickness and lie. Well worth doing it, and i think it would benefit anyone who's looking to upgrade hardware. Near 2 hours trying all that as well. Was wrecked from hitting balls constantly 😂

Went with the Cobra Forged Tec (4i-PW) in the end, wasn't the longest of the lot, but comfortably the most accurate. Looks great, and feels really nice as well. Xtra stiff, +.5 inch length, +2 upright and slightly thicker grips.

Only question now is if they'll be here before Corballis (said 2 weeks) 🤞

Having seen your speed I could only recommend sponges on your iron faces.

Best of everything with your new clubs.

How much did they set you back @Kiith ?

Kiith · 04-02-2023 2:40pm

€1200 total, with some upgraded grips. Cannot wait to get them...desperate to shank my 1st shot 🤣

Hi all

relatively new to golf

got a set of hand me downs and while I’m getting on ok I am seeing issues with the lie of the club.

I find it’s too upright and I am having to overcompensate my swing.

id like to get some mileage out of these before buying my own.

is it feasible to change the lie or what would you recommend.

how much would it cost to change a set or irons

im based in Galway if that helps

Any golf club or golf shop can adjust it for you by a couple of degrees assuming they are a decent brand than can be bent a little

They should be fine, 5-10€ per club. Once someone has the machine it’s easy enough.

If you're relatively new to golf, I would doubt this is the major factor in issues you're having. If your clubs are hand-me-downs, then 5 to 10 euros per club is a fair old outlay on something that may not yield any benefits.

Have you just arrived at this conclusion yourself? I'd get a lesson and ask the pro first before makingany adjustments. You'd likely be better off getting a used set of standard lie game improvement irons for not much more money.

i had a lesson from a pro a while back who questioned where I got them from..made a reference about the lie being to upright on set up.

I was fairly clueless at the time but he suggested gripping down on the club to manage it

Any pros or cons for Concept Golf versus Foregolf? Plan to get full fitting. Concept is more convenient location for me but as far as i can see its all indoors and I've a bit of a mental block about hitting into a screen, prefer to do it on a range.

Having been to both, personally I'd go with Concept Golf over Foregolf. Mark came across as a really good and knowledgeable guy (not saying Foregolf aren't that either, its purely personal preference). I get the hitting into a screen indoors thing, I was a bit dubious too at first, but you're using good quality golf balls and its closed data, as opposed to range balls in Killeen. Nothing really bad to say about either in fairness, probably less of a hard sell with Concept.
