Your videos are always easy to understand and informative. Thank you! I just found your stuff after taking a 10 year break from golf. Now I’ve got the bug again and want to shorten my driver. Thanks for the help!
That's crazy.
I'd just get a 12 degree driver if you want more consistency. Shaft length gives you distance.
10 year break? Wow, that must have been one very bad day of golf 10 years ago.😅
@@Orion2525people have different reasons for not being able to play for any amount of years they just don't loose interest, thx unlucky ones might have no car anymore,moved away or even in jail
@@beng4647 not really. Average tour length is like 45”.
45.75” -46” is what they sell off the rack in stores. Even Rory played a 44” driver for years and he was hitting 320 yard bombs. It’s more about strike location. You can hit a 50” shaft all you want but if it’s off the heel and toe 90% of the time your not gonna get much distance. but if you can get fit for a 44.5” and hit the center of the face more often your not gonna lose much if any, may even gain distance but definitely gain accuracy. Your club head speed will definitely be less but if you’re hitting the center of the face 7/10x vs a longer shaft maybe 3/10 you’ll be hitting it a lot further on average. That’s why the mini drivers are so popular, a full 2” shorter than stock w a smaller head but only lose maybe 10-15 yards of distance on average & a tighter dispersion vs a longer driver.
Using Masking tape for wrist to floor measurement is a neat tip. Great video
Thanks for your no nonsense to the point videos. Very helpful.
A longer club will ALWAYS be heavier. Always. Assuming it is the same head, and same shaft material. 2. A shorter club will usually force the golfer to swing more upright, along the line of play - thereby being more accurate. Jack Nicklaus always used a driver 1/4" shorter than standard. He wanted an overall lighter club for more velocity, and a little more upright for accuracy. Generally we reccomend the Nicklaus method. Each club 1/4 inch shorter than standard. Generally, standard length of a 9 iron is 36". We reccommended 35.75 inches. A standard graphite driver is 45". We reccommended the driver be 44.50 - 44.75 inches. The club will be lighter and the swing a little more upright. Clubs too long are: 1. Too heavy. 2. Put the golfer too far from the ball. 3. Harder to contol
4. Induce a flat swing.
Slightly shorter clubs of standard will improve all golfers. Nicklaus is proof.
Maybe that is why I suck. I bought my clubs +1" because I did not like leaning over. But 1/4" shorter? Who would even notice that. Jack played better because his clubs were 1/4" shorter than standard? Give me a break.
@@dannywalker1635 ..shorten your clubs to standard or 1/4 inch shorter. Stand closer to ball. Practice 3 months that way. Golf takes time, devotion, and practice. Don't be negative.
@@blairsterling6141 Thanks.
@@dannywalker1635 happy ⛳ golfing ! " a bad day on the course is 1,000 times better than a good day at the office " ⛳
Interesting. After two back surgeries my surgeon has cleared me to return to golf. This is purely recreational, being out there playing is the goal. I'm 6' 1" and 90kg. My swing speed is pretty slow and my swing is short and flat.
My back doesn't like leaning over, so for example I'm comfortable swinging a 5 hybrid whilst standing upright but not comfortable leaning over for an 8 iron for example.
I've given away my standard length irons, they were off the shelf and always felt too small.
I'm thinking of getting regular flex graphite shafted cobra t rail irons with all of the shafts at +1.5 inches in order to have me leaning over less. Less leaning means less back problems and more golf and more golf is the goal.
Any advice greatly appreciated
Probably the easiest method to measure. No nonsense explanation, direct to the point….and link to the best chart. Thank u!
Your video on removing a golf group you said to warm the group traded today. What a happy man I am thanks very much for the information love all your videos. Keep going you are the best
You’re always worth watching.
So golf begins with your back against the wall. How fitting is that?
😂😂👏👏
The chart of reference is adjusted for that.
Great reply & the absolute truth!
Bravo 👏
For my Driver I went from 45.5" length to 46.5" and it added about 10 Yards of Total Distance
Tx MC, for this very informative vid. I’ve been looking hi n low for this info. I appreciate your work in putting this together. 🙏. Although I didn’t see the length chart
I don’t understand the chart. I can see the WTF column and understand that you have to find the page with the figure for the height you have measured wrist to floor. But what I don’t understand is the meaning of the other columns. “Ht”? “Lie”? “7i”, etc. Does 7i stands for Seven Iron? What about the other irons, woods, etc? Please provide your explanation about the columns in the chart!! Thank you!
Yikes!!
I dont understand the chart either. I thought this video was going to be about the chart, not how to measure my body, sheesh. Click Bait.
I ordered mine +1 inch so I can choke down & still have the length of the club without losing any distance from the standard length of the club. It also helps me prevent allowing the club to slip when I'm using the full length & gives me better control of the clubface.
@mikerodrick2430 How tall are you and what is your wrist-to-floor measurement?
I'm not in the market for clubs but I'm only 5'5.
I am 6'6", and my irons are all 4 iron shafts, all set to +5". Yes, +2" is SUPPOSED to be the max, but Bill Laimbeer (former Detroit Pistons Center, 6'9", scratch) told me to go +5" and it works great and great on my back. This is because I'm all arms and legs, not long torso and the standard advice for +2" max does not take into account WHY people are tall. There are two types. The other one is long torso, like a former Detroit Lion, Joan Roque (friend) who is also 6'9" but long torso, my arms and legs are longer than his are.
So if you are long torso should you be more true to the length Rule?
I would think so.... I am somewhat long torso, but I get my 6'6" from my legs, and my arms are really long. 6'8" wingspan, same as Dennis Rodman. So I need the longer clubs, but long torso tall person might not. Still, worth a try. I did just 7 iron first. Use 4 iron shaft, Tru Temper.. @@rubenolmedo3025
Same man. I’m 6’8” all leg, no torso, wrist to floor measurement is 41” which is freakishly long legged.
You've got me beat! Are you using longer clubs?@@WLyons9856
I’m using +1.5”
Some fitters say to start with the length your method comes to then start adding length to see how long of a club can be used while still making contact in, or close to,the center of the face.
Thank you for your effort. Tt is good if you are precise about the point. Many words do not give the point.
Would you comment on what to wear on your feet when measuring WTF - bare feet, street shoes, golf shoes (with / without cleats - also bare floor, carpet etc.). It seems it would make a difference.
USGA must have a methodology for determining length since they limit the driver. Static measurements and lie boards back to the Stone Age. No substitute for a club fitting with dynamic measurements and a good fitter and I emphasize good. Maybe another collaboration with Mr Shortgame, are static charts a good starting point.
should you do this while wearing your shoes/golf shoes?
Yes. Absolutely 100% yes.
Only if you wear them while golfing
The hook on the tape measurer needs to retract so you get an exact measurement. The movement of the hook is the same. as the thickness of the hook. So if you hook something, the hook thickness is past the measurement of the object. If you are measuring inside to inside, like a window and the hook if now part of the measurement, the hook needs to slide back the thickness of that hook to correct your measurement. So in your example, the hook needs to slide back as you cannot measure past the carpet, so it is now an inside to inside measurement. You are not hooking around something to measure. But thanks for all the info.
So helpful thanks
Interesting chart. If you are 5’10” tall it makes no difference what your WTF measurement is, Wishon recommends standard length. That may be ok for a starting point but in reality your golf posture will dictate the ideal length and lie angle.
Some 5'-10" people can squad down more than others or are more flexible than others which they can do more body contortion than others. It's a feel game and whatever ya brain says is good make it work lol.
I’ve always used Ping’s guide for initial iron fitting. Wrist to floor and height.
This really close. Don’t forget to use a shoe that you’ll be playing golf in. That may change the lie angle.
And Mizuno measures from the line(s) below the top of the grip or that is where they cut the shaft from. So, they will be bit longer. 0.25 inches. At or in a 60 degree plane. And that too is changing!
Clear as mud this golf stuff! 🙄
I have a question, you mention is a good start point. What about a person has the same height with another and also the same lenght from wrist to floor. But one guy has the hip bone where the hips bend for the posture two inches higher than the other guy. That will indicate he will need longer clubs. I think that is my case. The proportion legs and torso is another variable that you have to consider.
There is a standard measure. Use a 60* triangle, place this against the sole of the club, measure the distance from the point of the triangle to the butt end. This is how to measure your club so it meets the Rules standard.
This only matters when talking about drivers as no other club has a length restriction.
@@EFGMC putter... I do it with all my clubs for consistency.
agreed, I Believe manufacturers use the 60 degree versus adapting to lie angle of each club.
Great tips!
I’m a re-learner. I’m 5’11” 10 3/4”). I think standard should work
Just an observation. When you use the tape measure. When you talked about measuring with the club resting on the ground and the hook of the tape measure impeded your accuracy, Just turn the tape measure over, so this will alleviate the hook or you can place the hook under the the sole of the club head. I find this gets you closer than having to buy a 48" rule. But I like your Technic.
I wish you had shown the chart or a link to the chart! I have no idea what length of club I need!
You are either very tall or have short arms. You measure 35.5 wrist to floor, but I measure 33. I am 6’1.5” tall
wishongolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Height-Wrist-to-Floor-Charts.pdf
Most informative video. Thank you!
Such a great and informative video. Now I can almost order those Takomo irons.
What if you measure 1/4" wrist height between 2? Better to go long since you can always choke down 1/4" I would assume.
Great video. Are you taking the wrist to floor measurement in stocking feet or with your golf shoes on?
Shoes on
i need help I'm 5'2 and wrist to floor is 31.5 and I'm looking for a driver
Wow, you just left the audience right in the middle of the process. If we were good at this with all the tools on Hand, we would not need your video.
How about single plan swing? How do you measure that length?
Seems to me, best way would be use an alignment stick or other gardening stick.
Set up clubs at your comfortable and reproducible stance with club head position in neutral correct fashion on grown. Then measure from base of toe to top of club. If need to “raise the ground” with some blocks to get club head position correct as you get into your comfortable position, you the add the height of the blocks to calculate the correct length.
That should work.
Need more info. Is the chart suggesting 7-iron length? What is the typical difference in club length besides the 7-iron? I/2 inch per iron up or down? What about the woods?
Yes it's 7i and each iron will usually move in 1/2 inch intervals. Woods get tricky because the industry has made fairways and especially drivers far longer than anyone would be fit for.
Great video! Thanks!
Great Video! Thank you 🔥👏💪🫶
Easy way to measure club length, but can’t find the link; can you assist please? Thank you.
how about measuring a bare shaft
I cannot find this chart…..
I am 6’ 1.5” with a wrist to floor (no shoes) of 33”.
Doesn’t the length also change if you change the angle of the head?
What club does that measurement give you or does it put you in a starting position only?
The chart gives you a measurement of over or under standard. I would take the measurement with shoes on, though it probably won't change the final measurement range.
The lie angle should be measured and adjusted independently of the length. Some times the length will impact the dynamic lie, but for some golfers it won't.
Driver - 44.25. 3W 42 for me
Another good advise is make sure you wear your golf shoes on first, before measuring the wrist to floor data ;)
Any standard running / casual shoe should still give you the same results. Unless we are talking high heels, most shoes are all within a 1/2 inch of sole height.
Yes. Great "advice"
Thanks for the good info.
Who decides what is standard. I’ve just built a set of graphite irons 2” longer as an experiment so I can stand up straighter to take the pressure off my back, I hit them better than any irons I ever had fitted.
What does the “initial lie and length “ numbers mean? Or explain the chart for me please
how does this relate to each of the different irons though as longer irons are longer up to Sand wedge would would be the shortest?
Thought for accurate club length you always subtracted 1/8 of an inch to account for the drip cap on the grip?
Hi AJ love your content have found it very useful. I have a question. I have found a putter that works for me the downside is it feels short. My Q is if I extend it am I likely to lose the feeling that makes it work so well?
If you extend it and don't like it, you can always remove the extension and return to how it was. Worst case, you burn a grip or two with the experiment. If you install the grip with air, then you can reuse and not worry about it.
I'm assuming I should have my golf shoes on for this?
Yes, if you wear shoes for golf
@@EFGMC hahahaha, you know what I meant.
measuring the club 1:13
measuring clubs for your height 3:46
Great information. Only it’s a 48” rule.
I do not understand what the chart means. What is "7i" for example? What does "initial lie" mean? and so forth
Don't worry about the lie part. 7i is 7 iron in reference to length.
Some 7i are 32* loft and some are strong as 27* (basically a 6i). Do you just go off numbers or for one set go 1/2" longer in addition to make up for a strong lofted set? Love your channel!
Lofts are independent here. The length is going to be related to the lie angle and the head weight, loft won't influence the length.
Back in my day 27* was a 5i. Current 5i is actually 26*, 7i is 33*; and these aren't even the weakest lofts available atm.
Is the wrist to floor measurements with or without shoes on?
I usually say with, however as some have pointed out if you play barefoot, then measure barefoot.
Good question! I had the same one! 😊
Shouldn't wrist to floor measuring use the average of both sides to ensure your shoulders were level?
I was just googling this last week and was instructed to measure from top of grip to the middle of the clubface, not to the bottom of hosel as you showed us.
You can do that if you always measure that way. Will just make it difficult to ever match a brand measurement of a 38 inch 5 iron for example.
That is not the standard way to do it. It isn't critical unless your club length is very close to the maximum length allowed under the rules. Meauring the way you describe will overstate the length slightly.
Got a question I've always wondered about. I was always taught when measuring with the 48 ruler, the center of the sole should be touching the ground to be considered at its playing lie. But today, I see a lot of clubs, woods especially that the score lines isnt parrallel with the ground that way. What would you say is a better indicator? Sole position or score lines?
I use the center of the sole.
Shoes on or off for wrist to floor measurement?! 😮
Golf shoes on or barefoot?
So the chart shows measurements for a 7 iron only. So how do you figure out what length you need for the other clubs. Like how long should my driver shaft be or my sand wedge shaft?
Irons in general move in 1/2 inch increments although there is no law that they have too. Again different people will do it differently but I usually go in 1/2 inch down to the 9 iron. Then all the wedges I go in 1/4 inch increments per 4 degrees so a standard 7 iron at 37 inches will lead into a 36 inch 9 iron, a 35 3/4 inch PW, a 35 1/2 GW.
Drivers are a different animal because they are already far longer than what is considered "standard". The industry standard is around 45 1/2 but I would rarely consider going longer even if you measure out 1 inch over standard on irons. However if you measure under, I would strongly consider cutting down the driver.
@@EFGMC
Exactly the question I had.
Thanks for asking
Same for graphite and steel? I see a lot of graphite shafts 1/2” longer than steel for swing weight. Theoretically is choking down lowering the swing weight anyway?
Yep, the 1/2 inch is used for balancing out the lighter shafts. Choking down or cutting the shaft down will both result in lowering the SW within 1pt of each other.
do you wear your shoes for wrist to floor measurment
Not if you play golf barefoot 😉
However you play golf.
But now how do you buy your clubs to your length? For me, I need 38 inch 7 iron but it doesn’t say what the others are supposed to be and when I try to Google clubs where the 7 iron is 38 inches, it doesn’t seem like a helpful search to get to what I’m looking for.
You are 1 inch over standard. 37 is industry standard for a 7i. You will want to order clubs 1 inch over and that will be correct.
I don’t understand one thing. You measure from the bottom of the club to the end of the shaft and let’s say it’s 45”. But how do you know how long to cut the actual shaft since the shaft doesn’t go all the way to the ground.
It terminates somewhere within the head and that will vary from club brand to club brand. So that shaft that is now 45” in a Titleist may be a different length if you put it in a Taylormade.
You are correct. If you take a driver shaft in one brand or even model head and move it to a different one, the final length may change. Usually not a big change but it can happen.
AJ, I like your content as I'm happy to tinker with my clubs. I'm ready to shorten my Callaway X-16 irons - standard set (3-PW/SW). I plan on taking 3/4" of each club, based on my height (5' 5.5") and WTF (31.5"). My 7 iron is 37". The length reduction is a kind of average across a few charts I have seen and I think feels about right for me. I removed the grip from the 7 iron and it weighs 55g. The new grips are 51g. I measured the swing weight of all clubs and they are D3. I reckon the shortening will drop around 4-5 points and the lighter grips may gain a point?, ending up around D0. Would this swing weight change apply to all clubs when I take the same length off each. Thanks.
Yes, any change in SW will remain constant to how the progression was before you cut them assuming everything is cut and gripped the same.
How’d it go? I was going to recommend you stick with only -1/2”
PGA Tour pros rarely going outside +/- 0.5” based on everything I’ve seen so that the swing weight doesn’t get too messed up
@@BigDawgCAMI took 1/2” off my irons and 3/4” off my woods and driver. Swing weights worked out fine at C9 give or take a fraction and I’m happy with the length. I recently bought a couple of Mack Daddy CB wedges which are still standard but I’m ok with them for now.
@@JockyT1 Love it man! I'm taller, but +1" never sat well with me. I'm about to go down to just +1/2" on my irons and from a 46" to 44" driver. Wish me luck!
Yes, good luck - 2” off the driver is quite a step. Can you try a shorter shaft before going all in?
What are some of the deciding factors to switch from metal shafts to graphite shafts?
1) If you want a shaft under 85g, graphite will be a better choice as steel gets too thin. Or if you want something very stiff in the sub 100g range.
2) If you have joint pain or soreness from hitting balls.
3) Prefer the look and or feel of graphite.
I’m building a set for a women 5’2”. Still getting her wrist to floor measurement. Question is: would you tip trim softer/less if the final length is -1” or more for L flex shaft?
You could. Not sure, would need to see the golfer before making that call.
Love your content big fan. I am really struggling with this and I am installing my own iron shafts. I have had 2 previous sets of irons and they were both standard however when I measure they are .5" long. I'm no carpenter but I shouldn't be .5" off. I used a measuring tape and unlike in your video I flipped the little tab upward flush agaist the sole of clubhead and I come up that my standard clubs which are both equal to each other are .5" long. Now I don't know what to do. If I cut by measurements you show they will be .5" shorter than both standard length sets I have playes.
If the extra length isn't an issue at the ends of the set (longest and shortest irons) then I say just play it. Or try it at that length with one of the end clubs and then try choking down that 1/2 inch and see what yields better results.
Thanks
I don't know why we don't all use cm's it' much easier. I'm English and my parents worked in imperial units so I do know both but the metric system is far easier.
I take it take you are in stocks when measuring your arm length?
Only suggestion. Should you have shoes on or off
Shoes on assuming you wear shoes to golf.
So this is to get your length for a 7 iron with you can than build your iron set around. How would you use this to know the lengths of what your hybrid woods or driver should be
Hybrids and fairways I would apply the same measurements to although making fairway woods longer is not always going to work. Driver I would never make longer than "standard" but if you measure out shorter, I would for sure look at cutting the driver down.
Starting point indeed. The recommended specs for me would be awful.
That looks like only for the 7i. Is there a chart for driver?
I usually correlate a 37 inch 7i with a 45 to 45 1/4 inch driver. Shorter can be shorter on the driver, never recommend anyone go over 45 1/2 on a driver regardless of height.
I looked at the chart and since I'm 5'9", it basically recommends a standard 0 on the length modification with 37" for a 7i regardless of wrist to floor length. I guess I got lucky and don't need to measure my WTF length. Do I just add or subtract 1 inch for different irons (e.g. 8i = 36", 9i = 35", 6i = 38", 5 i= 39" etc.)? How do I figure out the recommended lenths for drivers and woods if my 7i is 37"? Should hybrid lengths be the same as the corresponding long iron (3h = 3i, 4h=4i)? This video was very helpful. Thank you.
Each iron moves in 1/2 inch intervals until you hit the wedges then most move to 1/4.
Hybrids are usually 1/2 to 1 inch longer than the iron of equal number. Driver gets tricky because all drivers are sold at longer than any measured standard. I still like a driver at 45 inches as my standard even through most brands are now at 45 1/2 or more.
@@EFGMC Thanks for the clarifications. I've always used a 45" driver but wondered how that became the more or less standard. I might experiment with 44" and 46" driver lengths someday to see if it makes a difference for me. Thanks again.
How do you measure for a putter
should I be taking floor to wrist measurements with shoes on or off?
That’s what I want to know. A crucial omission.
So have a question for you. According to the measurement and the chart I should be using a 37.5" 7 iron. I currently play a 7 iron at 37.25. Will it make that much of a difference adding a quarter of in inch?
No, no difference. Only place where that might be an issue is with the shorter wedges. Might make sense to just extend those a bit if they feel short.
I greatly appreciate the content on your channel.. I was hoping you could help me with a question? I am in the market for some new clubs and I am considering getting clubs made for my size. 6ft6in tall with 41.5 wtf measurement but this seems to be off the chart or I am not reading it correctly.. Could you help me with that?
Send me an email with your specs and what you were thinking about.
adam@elitefitgolf.com
I am 5,10" tall, my wrist to floor length is 33 inches. The Ping color chart indicates standard length shafts ,1 degree flat lie angle. Taco no golf chart indicates 1/2 inch shorter than standard length. Sub 70 indicates 1/2 inch short standard lie angle. Which do you recomend?
I would start at standard length. You can always choke down or cut them down later on. Easier than having to go the other way.
If each club manufacturer uses a different definition of "Std" and also a different definition of how to measure the club length, then when using a fitting chart, wouldn't you need to use the chart from the specific club manufacturer? The Wishon chart would really only be for Wishon clubs, no? I have a bag with irons from different manufacturers and different vintages that I have bought used, and the lengths are all over the place. My 6 iron is longer than my 5 iron and my 8 iron is longer than my 7 iron. I am trying figure out if some of my irons are non-standard lengths, and it is really difficult because the manufacturers are all different AND they have changed over time. I guess I'm just going to have to breakdown and buy a matched set of irons.
Exactly. Everyone is going to be different so it's a moving target at best. That said, most brands and models are all within a 1/2 inch of each other with a couple exceptions. Just have to realize that it might take some tweaking to get clubs right where you want them.
Thanks but the charts are confusing, at least to me. Is this for all clubs or just irons?
Base everything off the irons however woods are a little tricky because all the OEMs make the stock lengths longer than measurement dictate. If you come out needing shorter irons, I would probably shorten the woods. If you come out long, rarely would I recommend making woods any longer.
So if you find out that your clubs are 1 in.short, can that be corrected when regripping to just not push the grip all the way?. It's alot cheaper then a newer set of clubs.
No, you can't do that. Then you would have the last inch of grip just flopping around without any support. You can however get some shaft extensions and epoxy them into the shaft, cut to desired length and then grip them. Extensions are cheap, couple dollars each.
I’m 6’10” with a 42.5-43” wrist to floor. Since my measurements are off the chart, how could I calculate mine?
Just look at the progression of lengths and extend it out to your measurement.
Swing weight will be off the charts too!
On the Wishon chart what club are those measurements for. How do you interpret the chart say for a 3 iron, and a 6 iron
You don’t. Go to Ping!!
With golf shoes on or off?
On, though any shoe will give similar results since it's all based on ranges.
I have a question about tip trimming. I bought 7 Aerotech Steelfiber i95 regular shafts and 1 shaft is 1/8 inch longer than the rest when i lined up the steel fiber logo. My question is do i measure from the tip accordingly then cut it or is the logo more important to line up? Thank you
Is the whole shaft longer or just the distance to the graphic? 1/8 inch isn't enough to be concerned with in my opinion.
Yes the whole shaft is longer. I had all the shafts standing up with the butt on the ground and the one tip was sticking up above the rest of the club
I think i will line up the logo and then cut it accordingly so if i decide to sell it later all of the logos are exactly 1/2 apart from each other. Looks more uniform. Maybe i can use this shaft in the PW since it is the shortest club with these shaft. Thanks
I'm 5'7" and my driver is 45.5" reg flex which is just too much to handle. If I take off 1 inch, how will that change the flex?
The flex in general does not change much when butt cutting a shaft. Yes, you are shortening the shaft that will increase the frequency measurement but since you are cutting away the stiffest portion of the club, it really cancels out. Where you will notice a flex change is if you start changing the head weight of the driver.
Can someone help with the chart link, thanks
Please confirm if you do the measurements with your golf shoes on. Thank you.
Shoes on assuming you golf in shoes.
Okay. I'm 6'1 39" wrist to ground. I know I should get fit but nobody really in my area that does that. From all I've read I should be an inch over "standard". I have stupid short arms for my height lol. How would I go about determining the lie angle? I'm sure that has to do with stance more than anything but just wondering.
ruclips.net/video/BeAIN--vz68/видео.html
So based on the chart you provided, I have a 35.5 inch wtf measurement and I am 5ft 9 inches tall so does this mean that the lie angle should be plus 2 degrees? I see some charts that suggest no lie adjustment. What do you think and why do you like this chart?
I like the chart for length. I don't use it for lie angle. I think the only way to test lie angle is using a dynamic test using a sharpie line or a launch monitor.
I am trying to order some Takomo irons and trying to determine our angle. Can’t do that remotely since they don’t offer fittings. What do you suggest then to determine our angle in that case?

OK, I am completely new to this. My wife is 5'8" and her Wrist To Floor is 32.5". Looking at the chart, it says length = -0.5 and it says 7i Length is 36.5" So what exactly does 7i mean? What does -0.5 mean. Does it mean the 7 iron should be 36.5""? If so, what do I do with the -0.5 measurement?
Correct. They call a standard 7i 37 inches, so 1/2 inch under would make it 36 1/2. Every other iron moves in 1/2 inch intervals off of that measurement.
Hey I seen you put weights counter weights in the back of Mr shore games driver and he kept in that farther. Did he actually keep those in or not? And was it hard to control the club?
We were not using his actual driver but were instead using a fitting setup I put together so it had his preferred shaft but different head. We did not change anything with his driver during that session. Overall dispersion was consistent throughout the testing.
Where is the Chart?
In the description box
The chart only shows the 7 iron length. Am I reading that right?
Yes, you use the 7i length to calculate the rest of the set. Irons go in 1/2 inch intervals.
I purchased my friends old set he’s 6.4 and I’m 6.2 in golf shoes
He’s clubs are inch plus are they to long???
Too long is easy to figure out. Hit some balls at full length, then choke down a half inch, hit some more, then choke down another half inch (1 inch total) and repeat. See which results in the best shots. If you really want to be detailed, I would do this test with both the longest and shortest clubs in the set.
Nice video. Just prove my clubs are short. By chance you can a video of making clubs black?
What do you mean?
@@EFGMC like change a club from chrome to black or rust to black or darker in colour
@@mikewilliams1479 That I am not sure about, would need to contact a club refinisher. That's outside my area of expertise.
@@EFGMC Ok AJ. Would be a sweet process to learn
Should you wear shoes when measuring?
Yes, absolutely 100%.
