Shaft Length

Shafts come in a variety of lengths based on the type of club you are using.  The higher the number on the club, the shorter the shaft length.

Below is a list of the standard lengths for each club.

Customize the Shaft Length

In order to decide on the length of your club, you will need the following:

• A pen/pencil
• Paper
• Someone to help with the measurement
• Tape measure

Now stand straight with your hands down by your side.  You will want to wear a normal pair of shoes (normal size soles) so that you are at about the same height as you would be when addressing the ball.

Now, have your helper measure the distance from your left wrist if you golf right handed, or the right wrist if you golf left down to the floor.  You will want to start the measurement where the wrist bends.  This is your wrist-to-floor measurement that you will use to customize the length of your clubs.

Now, take a look at this chart (HowtoCustomizeaGolfClub-ShaftLength) to find what increment you need to change your shaft length.  If you fall into the n/a region, you do not need to request a change to your length and would be best served with a standard size shaft length.  This length, as listed in the chart above, has been figured out based on years of research to determine the most common length that will fit the majority of the population.

You are now on your way to a great fitting club that will benefit your game from day one.
