Sounds like you need to focus more on the shafts. Hopefully you plan on doing a full fitting, and you'll see how important the right shaft is to your preferred flight path.

Being that you live in Carlsbad, it sounds like the upcoming TT Fitting Experience in Oceanside for the new Irons would be just the thing for you.

I will be 82 next month. I have played the 716 MB since they came out, same with the 915 driver and fairway metals.. I still carry my bag with nine clubs, play nine holes and average 45.. Is it worth looking into new clubs?

That’s really a question you should answer yourself. At 75, I’m finally moving to damaged control from trying to lowering my handicap. Your game is now strictly in the recreational area. How you lost a lot of distance with your 10 year old clubs? Are they feeling heavy at this time? Do any of your partners have a lighter weight clubs for you to hold?
Carrying only 9 clubs, working with a local pro or retail shop, you might look at used clubs. New drivers are $600+, irons are 200+. At least Titleist sells individual clubs, so you don’t need to order 7 irons or 3 wedges as a rack package. If you don’t find a newer version that feels better or is easier to hit, you can keep your current. At 75, my T200 irons with lighter, higher launching shafts are easier to hit than what I was using 10 years ago.

Good info and ideas! I have been able to hit the t200s and they hit the ball considerably higher. I really could not believe a club/shaft combo could make such a difference. I can get away with hitting low shots at my home course when has fairly soft greens but when I travel my low shots may get me in trouble so need the ability to hit it higher to compete.

I recall the mb irons. They were a very nice piece of technology. I almost went with them due to the extra height I saw with them. I went with the t100s and have been happy for a long time but I am leaning towards going for more height now.

Your still a youngster. Will be 79 in September. Looking forward to 80. Moved to the T300 series when they first came out and R300 shafts. Am now playing the T350 irons and love them. Thanks to my fitters I have been convinced that regular shafts are what I need making life bit easier in all my clubs. The regular shaft sure makes hitting the new GTs more pleasurable. Agree with Barry. I too would check out new shafts and maybe take a look at the new clubs, at the fitting. Tell the fitter what you want and then let him/her do their thing.

I turned 65 a couple of months ago. My swing speed has decreased and I am hitting the T200 with senior flex Fubuki shafts. They launch significantly higher than my T350's with Tensei AV red senior shafts,

Thanks for the information. If I get fitted I wonder if I can try all these different shafts? Like a kid in a candy store. Will be hard to decide.

Turning 77 next month. I play senior shafts is my driver, 3 wood and hybrid, as I get a little more height and distance with these shafts. Still play regular flex with my irons, as I am more interested in accuracy that distance with these clubs. If I have to hit a 9 iron rather than a pitching wedge, so be it.

As others said, the VIP Fitting Day is right up your alley. You live in the area and since you're leaning on making a change, participating in the event will expose you to a tour level fitting in a venue that is hard to beat. Lastly, you'll get a new set of irons, and you'll see how they're built.

Question for those that have done fitting. Do you usually have the time or energy to fit all your clubs at once. Seems like a tall order and would need to hit quite a few balls to establish a legitimate pattern. Seems like driver and fairways would be one fitting and irons for another and maybe wedges for another. That would be speedy but probably would be the way to go. Might have to get a loan on my house. haha.

A full bag fitting would take quite a bit of energy. I can't speak for you, but multiple fittings focusing on the top end, irons, and wedges would probably be the most beneficial. I have been fit for all three, and I spent the most amount of time (a little over an hour) getting fit for my driver and 3W; irons went much quicker as I had a better fitter and my swing was working well that day. Wedges took around 45 minutes to hit out of various conditions and find what worked best. Plan on an hour for each and be prepared to be blown away by the results and seeing how much improvement can be made!

With Titleist sponsored fittings essentially free with a purchase, get separate fittings. In fact, they won’t do a full bag in an hour.

Being LH, I only ever get fit with a 7 iron. Once I get them and dial them in,I will see if I need adjustments for gapping with wedges and metal woods. Won’t do me any good to get fit for a hybrid and fairway if there is a 5 or 20 yard gap with my last iron.

In my case, I no longer can swing at speed for 2 hours.

I am 78 years old and playing T 100s irons. I plan to get fit this years to see if I need to change anything. I don't mind trying more Titleist options.I hope you get what you need.
