Exactly, patrickdavid! A higher loft can help players who struggle to get enough height on their shots. It really depends on individual needs.

But how do you know if you’re good enough to invest in custom clubs? I’ve always used off-the-rack irons.

There’s no harm in exploring customized options! Getting fitted can help maximize your performance, even if you’re just starting out. It’s always good to know your options!
What if you want a forgiving club setup? Is a 9 iron still a good choice for golfers who need more help?
A 9 iron can be forgiving, especially models designed for higher handicap players. Look for clubs with wider soles and larger sweet spots!
Thank you! That’s super helpful. How do I know if a particular 9 iron fits my swing speed?
Swing speed can guide you on shaft flex as well. Typically, slower swing speeds benefit from more flexible shafts. Have a professional analyze your swing for the best fit!
You guys are making this sound too serious! Just get the one that looks coolest and enjoy the game, right? 
That’s one way to approach it, but you might end up in the sand more often! 
Still, find a balance between style and performance.
