I really enjoyed this, but I do have a question when it comes to fitting. I’m a shorter guy (5’5”), and I have always received mixed information about club fitting. I’ve fitters and instructors tell me that it is important and to get my clubs cut, usually they have cut them down about an inch and 1/4 to an inch and 3/4. But then I’ve had different fitters and instructors tell me that I should just choke down and not get them cut because if I do the club will lose distance. I feel more comfortable with a shorter club but I just don’t know who to trust anymore.

With irons being different lengths, will the sw be different for each club to keep the balance the same?
