Re: What do you look for when getting fitted for new irons?

1. one with the outdoor hitting range (to check the actual flight of balls with various clubs), and certified fitters for 5 different club manufacturers
2. another is the only 'advanced' fitter identified by Titleist's website (other locals are identified as fitters, only 1 as 'advanced'),
3. another is both a Certified fitter for Precision rifle shafts as well as member of the Professional clubmakers society.

...all have the launch monitor.

Sounds like #1 is your best bet.

Launch monitors are great and they are invaluable when it comes to number crunching. But the only really "true" test for anything is actual use and an actual outdoor driving range is hard to beat.
