And if you'll buy that, I've got a bridge for sale, really cheap.
"Your swing didn't come from a factory, why should your

IMO, off-the-rack
clubs are a fine purchase... as long as you got a fitting first, and will get them bent to your needs afterwards.
I'm 6' (so a little taller than the statistical average), and all static fitting charts tell me I should be playing
clubs that are 2º upright, with midsize grips.
I prefer
clubs that are 1º flat with standard grips. But I bend 'way over' for my swing. I also play
clubs with a ton of offset, because I'm not happy with how high I hit the ball.
I guess my point is that one size
can fit most (as humans we'll adapt our swing to whatever club is in our hand), but there is a definite range where we swing best - and 'standard' (which there is no such thing across the industry, by the way) may not be it.
