The best thing to do when you are getting fitted is to get a few different opinions. Most specialty golf shops know what they are doing pretty well, however some of the more general places like large sporting goods stores may not be as knowledgeable.

The main factors to consider when getting fitted are.. grip size, club length, shaft flex, and lie angle.

For example, I'm 6 foot 2 so my irons are cut 3/4" longer than normal irons, my swing speed is quite high, so my shaft is an x-stiff, arms are long and I'm tall, so I've got a +3 lie angle, and my hands are pretty normal, so my grip size is also pretty normal.

Match these to the proper kind of set for your skill level and you'll shave a few strokes per round.
