If you happen to fit the lie / length / loft / grip size / head design / shaft flex / shaft characteristics perfectly, of the set of clubs you happen to buy, then its absolutely a waste of time
Take your pick!!!!!!!!!!!

I got fitted by Ned for my new driver
If you don't get fitted you will not achieve any piece of mind, at the very least, not to mention getting the most out of every game.
If you don't get fitted I guarantee you will look like Ned Kelly's avatar after every round.

I reckon it depends on how much money you're prepared to spend on clubs, and how much ho-ing you're looking to do.
If you're looking for the tightarse option, you'll be getting something off the shelf or second hand that roughly suits you, and maybe you'll get lucky, or maybe you'll just learn to play with what you get.
If you've got money to burn, and you're not planning on ho-ing a bunch of clubs, you should get fitted. That way you'll know that the clubs suit your swing and you won't be tempted to swap them for something different as soon as you start having a form slump.
If you're a frequent club changer (not exactly a rarity in these parts), you may be wasting your money getting fitted for a set you're likely to sell off as soon as you start hitting a few bad ones or something new catches your eye. Just churn through them until you find something you can't bear to part with.

I'm clueless when it comes to clubs (I'm in category a in my previous post) but I get the impression you could save crap-loads of cash and end up with the same results if you bought the previous model or something second hand.
Of course, I don't know how you go about getting them fitted, but I'm sure there are people you can see about that.
Probably too late anyway if you've seen the shiny new R9s and gone all over them.

Is it possible/cost effective to get fitted to my current Callaway X Tour Irons?
Or should I just start from scratch with a new set?

Yes, it's worth it - plus what the other's said.
Cost you around $40-$50 a head depending on which shafts you buy. Obviously it could cost more but i think not less.
Thanks MTB, I'll have a chat to the pro tomorrow.
If a shaft change is required, I might as well start from scratch. Might be a good time to go back to a game improvement iron.

No charge for the fitting session, the pro will go through everything for me then give me the options/changes if required.
They normally dont, they cost of fitting sessions is included in the price of teh clubs/upgrades - because they dont make clubs without a fitting session.
The exception would be if you go back to get another club done, no need for a fitting session.
