Re: shorter clubs
I would suggest shorter clubs as well.

I'm 5'8 and had my irons shortened 3/4". Lost about 8 yards distance on average but the improved accuracy is amazing.
Anyone else tried anything as silly as this?

Re: shorter clubs
It largely depends on if you're a guy or a girl. Ladies' clubs are shorter (as a rule) then mens' clubs.

Re: shorter clubs
Well then! I would largely think that it's time for new, shorter, sticks!

Re: shorter clubs
You would definitely want to get the shafts trimmed down to suit your height. Also, make sure they adjust your lie angle as well. If you get your lie adjusted 2 - 4* flat you will not have to cut quite as much off the shafts.
