I figure they'll improve my score by what...10...15 strokes?  I'll be on the Champions Tour in a matter of weeks.
Where did you buy them from? RockBottomGolf?

I was looking at new irons yesterday for about 2 hours lol

I ended up getting them at the PGA Superstore website.  They were $.01 cheaper than the other sites.  LOL.  I had swung them at Golf Galaxy.  They are actually a 'discontinued' line.  That's what I've always bought because they're a good deal cheaper than the 'new and improved' model.  Actually the SIM model that I got have very favorable wtite-ups where the new SIM2...not so much.

Do you consider fitted clubs? I’m curious as to how much difference it makes.

Well, these are semi-fitted.  I got the same length shaft that I got the last time I got them 'professionally' fitted.  If nothing else, my stance is less hunched and I make better contact with the ball.  As far as direction...we'll just leave that part out.

I’m not attempting to call you out at all, so don’t take it that way.  I’m in awe that you’re 6’5”.  Perhaps it was the fact you may have been hunched over on the “knee scooter” thing after your break dancing in the garage episode.

At 5’2, I’m envious of anyone with a little bit of height!

I'm 5'10" and love being tall most of the time. I unfortunately have long legs and a short torso (or high waisted) so all of my jeans, pants, Capri pants, yoga pants - ALL my pants and shorts are too short unless I buy Tall or Long length. Even then the length depends on what the brand considers Tall or Long. Old Navy is the only brand I wear in pants and Columbia has some good length shorts. 

I wish I had shorter legs and longer torso so this wouldn't be such a hassle. The fashion industry seems to think everyone is built this way whether tall or short. Boot manufacturers seem to think size 10-11 boots means your calves are the size of frisbees. Lol. I have a pair of work Muck boots that flop on my skinny calves when I walk. I couldn't be stealthy in them for sure.

My wife is 5'2".  I never think about it until I see pictures of us together.  I always joke that she married me because she couldn't reach the top shelves.

I'm just tall enough where I have to shop in the tall department.  It's a pain in the [BLEEP] to have to spend $10-$15 more for a lousy inch of material.

My dad is about 6ft tall. I'm playing much more now than I used to. How much does club length change depending on your height? Should I got buy some new ones? I don't want to roll into  Golf Galaxy saying "I think I need new clubs because I'm tall" because of course they'll try to sell me some even if they don't think I need to.

It makes a difference, though like with anything in golf, some of it is personal preference.

I play a lot of golf and am definitely a lot better than your average golfer.  I got fitted for my set of clubs. At 6'0 tall they adjusted the length of mine to be longer than standard, I think 1/4 of an inch longer but may have been 1/2 an inch.  I can't fully remember but, to answer your question, yes your clubs are too short.

You could probably use slightly larger grips. With my hand size they adjusted them to be mid-size, which is slightly larger than standard.
