Iron custom fitting in Newbury, Berkshire
Find irons that work throughout your set.
Compare suitable iron heads, shafts, lengths and specifications using your own swing. We look at useful carry, control and set makeup so your recommendation makes sense beyond one impressive 7-iron.
Compare suitable options using Foresight Sports GCQuad, with your current irons, if you have them, as the starting point.
£120 · 120 minutes · Written specification included · Equipment priced separately
Suitable stock shaft options are considered against your swing, feel preferences and budget before any additional-cost upgrade. No obligation to buy.
Right-handed fittings only.
A fitting with a clear purpose
Your appointment focuses on more reliable approaches and sensible distance gaps throughout your iron set. It can help if your irons are difficult to launch, your distances bunch together, your strike varies or your flight does not suit your approach shots.
The aim is a usable set, not just a longer test club. We discuss which iron should start the set, whether a long iron needs replacing and how the pitching wedge connects with your wedges. A fitting recommendation is different from measuring every finished-club gap after delivery.
We look at your normal shot pattern and feedback alongside the numbers. Beginners and experienced golfers are welcome. If your current equipment is still the right choice, we’ll tell you.

What happens in your iron fitting?
Understand your game
We discuss your intended shots, usual miss, preferences and budget. Your fitter agrees the priorities for the session before selecting suitable options.
Establish a baseline
Bring your current irons, if you have them. If practical, bring your current longest playable iron, relevant long-game club and pitching wedge. This gives the comparison context.
Test suitable options
We fit using 7-iron heads. Compare relevant heads, shafts and specifications. Your feedback on feel, appearance and confidence matters alongside the launch data.
Review the complete result
We review carry, spin, height, landing angle, dispersion and the proposed set makeup. A single longest shot should not decide the recommendation.
Leave with a clear recommendation
We explain the comparisons and provide a written fitted specification. You can order, consider your options or keep your existing equipment.
Head, shaft, grip and specification
Heads and lofts
Compare suitable head designs and lofts for launch, forgiveness, feel and control. More carry can partly reflect a loft difference, so we assess flight, spin and landing angle alongside distance. A smaller head or a “players” label is not automatically a better choice.
Shafts and playing length
Compare suitable shaft weights, flexes, profiles and playing lengths with your tempo, strike, feel preferences and budget. Steel and graphite both deserve consideration where compatible options are available. Do not choose flex from swing speed alone.
Grip and final specification
Grip size, condition, comfort and feel belong in the complete setup. Your written recommendation records the relevant head, loft, shaft, flex, playing length, grip and settings, plus the recommended lie where assessed. Physical alterations and replacement grips are separate work, with compatibility and costs explained.
We also discuss recommended set composition and appropriate length and lie. Do not treat a static measurement as the whole decision; strike, delivery and the results of suitable testing matter too.
What the numbers tell you
Speed and strike
Ball speed, delivery and strike pattern help explain how consistently the setup performs. Compare representative shots rather than one exceptional strike.
Launch, spin and height
We assess the flight against your intended shots. Lower spin, lower flight or greater speed is not automatically a better outcome.
Carry and landing angle
Carry is distance through the air. Landing angle helps discuss how the ball approaches the ground. Neither alone guarantees that a shot will stop on a particular surface.
Dispersion and distance gaps
The spread of shots and the separation between clubs matter alongside distance. Loft numbers alone do not establish useful carry gaps.
Flight figures are calculated from launch data, and total distance depends on ground assumptions. A fitting cannot guarantee extra yardage or the removal of every swing issue.

Watch the questions behind our fitting approach. Examples help you understand the decisions; your own results guide the recommendation.

What our club-fitting customers say
5 out of 5
Superb experience from start to finish. Had a 2hr iron fitting with Ross that was in depth but relaxed and at no point felt any pressure to buy. Went through numerous shaft and head options and also evaluated my current clubs as a baseline. Learned a lot about my swing and equipment and will def be going back.

5 out of 5
Amazing, totally enjoyable experience. I was really looking forward to my iron fitting and it exceeded my expectations. Ross is so knowledgeable, puts you at ease straightaway and clearly loves what he does. He explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, is very methodical and the fact that you have so many different club and shaft manufacturers to try is so useful. Ended up with a combo set of Titleists that I think will help my game massively, especially the longer clubs in the bag. Cant recommend Ross and his team highly enough, would never buy another club now without going to EP, in fact I’ll be booking another session soon for a driver fitting!

Iron fitting FAQs
How much does the fitting cost?
£120 for 120 minutes, covering an iron set fitting. Includes suitable testing, GCQuad analysis and a written fitted specification. Equipment purchases are separate.
Which iron head is best for my handicap?
Handicap provides context, not a complete prescription. Strike, launch, dispersion, preferences and budget help identify suitable designs.
Are longer irons always better?
No. More distance is useful when flight, control and gaps still suit your game. Different lofts can also explain a distance change.
Should I use steel or graphite shafts?
Either can suit a golfer. Weight, profile, feel, delivery and the complete setup matter more than a material label alone.
Will you check iron length and lie?
We assess suitable length and lie recommendations as part of the fitting, alongside strike and delivery. Any physical alterations, compatibility and costs are explained separately.
Does the appointment test every iron in the set?
EP Golf Studios fits using 7-iron heads to develop your iron set recommendation. The appointment is not automatically a full post-build gapping session for every club.
Should I replace my long irons with hybrids?
That depends on the carry, height and strike you can produce. We discuss where the iron set should start; contact us if a separate hybrid fitting or wider long-game review is needed.
Do I need a premium aftermarket shaft?
Not necessarily. We compare suitable stock options against your swing and budget. Additional-cost options should justify their place through performance and feel in the complete setup.
What should I bring?
Bring your current irons, if you have them, your usual glove and comfortable golf clothing and footwear. If practical, bring your current longest playable iron, relevant long-game club and pitching wedge.
Do I have to buy equipment afterwards?
No. You receive a written specification and can consider the recommendation in your own time.
Do you offer left-handed fittings?
This service is for right-handed golfers only.
