OT Golfers- Height to club length
Posted on 4/30/14 at 7:18 pm
Posted on 4/30/14 at 7:18 pm
I'm looking at getting a new set of clubs. I'm a casual player and just want to get an upgrade over the set of clubs I bought used a few years ago. I'm 6'3" and was wondering if I am ok with getting standard length clubs or if I should go get sized. If I should get sized, where can I go in the BR area.
Thanks
Thanks

Just get 13 drivers and you'll be fine.

Did you tend to slice with the standard length clubs?
Im a little taller, and can't really play with standard length clubs. Not sure whats out there now, but a few years back Ping had different color coded club sets for different heights.

You'll probably be + 1 inch maybe a half. You really need to get your lie angle checked. Your most likely going to be upright. People way underestimate the importance of lie angle

Really depends on your swing but at 6'3" you're likely going to need 1-1.25" longer than standard in your irons at minimum.

I'm pushing 6'2 and i got mine extended .5 or 1 inch….Cant remember. Probably wasn't necessary though.

I'm 6'3" and didn't need any extra length. It all depends on your stance.

Standard.... people that think they need custom length are stupid.
Different lie angles I'll buy.

Don't focus on height alone. Your wrist to floor measurement is more important. I would imagine you would be about .5 inches long, but it's all about what feels comfortable to you. You don't want the club to force you into an incorrect stance. Also note that the effective lie angle of the club will change with any amount of added length. In short, get someone who knows what their doing to fit you correctly.

Oh God.
Just go to a place that does free fitting. There's a ton of good fitters that will do it for free if you buy the clubs from them.

Always get fitted
Posted on 4/30/14 at 7:51 pm to LSUTiger23
I'm 6'3" and every one of my clubs is custom fit to me.
Although when I need an adjustment I just hop in the Mizuno 18 wheeler that follows us to all our tournaments and get my stuff adjusted for free....
If I'm home I call my rep and he sends me whatever I need....

I'm 6'6", if I used standard length shafts I'd fall over from bending.

Then you have more to worry about than club length.
Posted on 4/30/14 at 7:56 pm to HempHead
if over 6 ft, def get things checked out ... if under 6 ft, not that big a deal unless you're a touring pro ...

I'm going to listen to the guy whose salary is paid by my dues, I think he knows what he is doing.

Yep why do you think Barkley was so fricking steep and had that awful hitch? Learned to play with clubs that were too short. Why did Riki flatten the shaft so hard in the downswing before he got with Butch? Grew up play clubs that were too long. If the length doesn't fit your posture throughout the swing will always be changing.

Continue to get caught up in the "fitting" game. It is vastly overrated and quite frankly comical. I'm well over 6 foot and hit standard length and lie. Get your posture and swing mechanics in line and you'll be fine.
You and I could stand shoulder to shoulder and our floor to wrist measurement would be negligible. That's what matters.

Get whatever posture you want. It's going to change during the swing if the club is too short for op.

I can size you right now.
Add .75 inches to your clubs.
