Determining The Proper Length
Golf Club For You
There are many different theories on how to come up with the proper
length golf club. There seems to be no single accepted
standard way to determine the correct golf club length for an
individual. Here are a few of the ways the proper length golf
club are sometimes found. - By taking two
measurements; overall height, and wrist to floor
length.
- By taking a single wrist to floor
measurement.
- By swinging different length clubs
to see which one feels best.
- By simply going off
of your overall height.
I recommend you
blend the first and third option together in order to come up with the
proper length golf club for yourself. The first
thing to do when looking for your proper length golf club is measure
the distance from your wrist to the floor. Have someone help
you with this because it is very hard to get an accurate measurement by
yourself. Begin by standing on a hard
surface, not on carpeting. Stand up straight but relaxed with
your arms hanging at your side. You should be wearing regular
street shoes. Have someone measure from the floor to the main
crease of your wrist on the hand you wear your golf glove on.
Write this number down. Now, cross reference this
number with your height on the table below: | | Golfers Height | | Wrist to floor Length |
4'10" - 5'0" |
5'0" - 5'2" | 5'2" - 5'4" | 5'4" - 5'7" | 5'7" - 6'0" | 6'0" - 6'2" | 6'2" - 6'4" | 6'4" - 6'7" | 6'7" - 6'9" | | 29 |
