I don’t think you watch the whole video because what you just mentioned is my exact point in the video. My whole point is to tell people that they can’t simply change the shafts and make their current clubs into same length clubs. I appreciate your contribution, but please watch the entire video before commenting.
It make complete sense if we are all the same height with the same length arms. Most people who change lengths just do it for the longer irons because without lots of practice the longer irons are harder to use.
Thank you for your videos. I just watched your video showing MA describing his swing in a skeleton suit. Regarding his release in the downswing he says he pressures the thumbs from the top of the backswing to widen the angle through impact and release. Does he release under in the impact area like he does on the start of the backswing? Thank you.
Hello Matt... very interesting video. I get it concerning the adjusted lie angle for the irons, which makes all the sense in the world, but what about the lie angle for drivers? Most drivers just come as is for everyone. How then is the lie angle for drivers adjusted for tall or short golfers? Second question is... I believe you use a 9* lofted driver, does that degree hit longer, or is that for swing speed? Thanks... Al
Generally, same length club sets only pertain to irons. I haven’t seen anyone who has made a driver the length of their seven iron. Many of the modern drivers have adjustable heads that allow you to change both the loft and lie. I use the ping G425 max which allows you to adjust the lie 1° plus or minus. I leave mine standard. I can also adjust the loft by I think 1 1/2° but I keep it at 9°. 9° does allow more distance than say a 10 or 10 1/2° driver. Higher loft drivers are more forgiving and help you hit it a little straighter. I don’t have that problem. Lower degree allows me to work the ball whichever direction I need to whether that be right to left or left or right. It’s just like it’s easier to draw or fade a three iron than it is a nine Iron. A 3 iron has less loft than a nine iron.
If you want the real info on this look up Tom Wishon. His test 7 iron length driver lost big distance. If you want a short Driver try going down to 3 wood 43.5" length, but you will need to add weight to the head to get back to a normal swing weight. 6g+ to the head for every 1/2" you shorten it.
thanks for contributing. I appreciate it. You provided some great information. If I remember correctly, I know that at least a few years ago, Bubba Watson had gone to a 43.5 inch driver in the hope of gaining a little more control, but he also said he felt like he could swing it faster. But as you say if you go too much shorter than that, you will lose drastic amount of distance.
You only have half the info here and are 5 years+ behind one length info, you cant make one length sets out of normal clubs because the heads are also incrementally weighted differently, so even if you did what you said and lie matched them all the swing weights would not match. A 5 iron head is way lighter than a PW head as they are made to swing weight match on different length shafts, One length heads from wishon/cobra are all the same weight. Bryson also never played any of the commercially available cobra irons, he has extremely upright custom lie angles 73deg, where a standard 7 iron is 63. This all happened back in 2017/2018. loft and lies of clubs are also moved cold on a loft and lie machine, I don't know where you have made up this heating from.
I think they can be fantastic for wedges through 8 or 7. I play a 37" sand wedge, can't go back to standard. My driver is a little shorter, 45 1/4".

Theoretically your through swing after impact should be a mirror image of your back swing.
Done making videos?
No, I just had to take a break for a little bit. I’ll be making more videos soon.
I tried them
Didn’t like the feeling, just my opinion
