Clubs for 6’8” golfer

Definitely take him to get fitted. I have a friend that is 6’5” and I think his club are plus 2-3”, he got fitted at Edwin Watts.

Bring him to John Joy at LeTromphe in Broussard he's been fitting players of every size for over 40 years...he knows what he's doing for sure!

I’m 6’7”. I am not a pro or even a really good player, but just giving a couple of opinions from someone who has been down this road.

The club length in a lot of ways really will depend on your son’s arm length. If your son’s arms are long (39” sleeves or longer) he may be ok with standard length clubs. My sleeve length is 37” & I play 1” over standard shafts. Have him stand next to you with both of your arms by your sides & see where his hands are relative to yours. That will give you an idea of the length of shaft. Lie angles may be off, but if he is just starting out, that is not that big of a deal. Getting fitted may be an expense that you don’t want to incur until he decides he wants to play. I might consider lessons first for the money.

Warning for your son: there is A LOT that can go wrong with a 6’8” golf swing. BUT there is some real distance when all of that body length syncs up.

I understand & don’t disagree that lie angles are important to better contact & scores. But he’s just starting out, not a 5 handicap. That’s why I suggested lessons. A good teaching pro can work with him & then decide about a fitting. I don’t think that lie angles are as important as learning good mechanics, especially for someone that tall.

But if we’re trying to make this a great Christmas then I would get him fitted, buy a set of new clubs & get lessons.
