Right HandRegular FlexMid ForgivenessStandard LieBudget: $800–$1,200
Based on your 155-yard 7-iron carry distance, moderate swing tempo, and priority for forgiveness with feel, you're best suited to a players distance iron in regular flex steel. Your ball flight tendency and divot pattern suggest a square-to-slightly-open face at impact, which points away from heavily offset designs. The clubs below are ranked by how closely they match your full profile.

Why not just get fitted in person?
Costs $150–$200
A professional club fitting is a serious investment — and most golfers have to pay before they even know if the recommendations are right for their game.
Requires an appointment
You need to book time at a pro shop or fitting studio, drive there, and block off an hour or more. Hard to fit into a busy schedule.
Only shows you what's in stock
In-person fitters recommend from their own inventory. You won't see used deals, discounted new options, or marketplace listings that could save you hundreds.
BagBuilder.ai does 95% of the work. From your phone. For free.
More than a fitting tool.
BagBuilder.ai is a complete golf improvement platform — and it's free to start.
