Question about club length
I am curious as to what length range (how long in inches the club should measure) the irons and woods should be for a golfer who is 6'4", as compared to standard sized clubs? Is there a difference? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Question about club length
Talk to your local club pro, but you definately dont want standard length clubs. They will do all the measurements finger tip to ground etc.
I'm average height 5'9" and have actually had my irons shortened 3/4". I lose power but the accuracy is well worth it.

Re: Question about club length
You will need longer clubs for you to swing correctly and make contact with the ball. Your local pro should be able to help you out with it.

Re: Question about club length
Im 6ft 3" and have an extra 1" on irons and on my driver too. Adding length to your driver can leave you with very inconsistant hits of the toe heel etc, so some dont recomend it. But i love mine
