ARE MY CLUBS THE RIGHT LENGTH? FIND THE CORRECT GOLF CLUB LENGTH 

Handy way to get your wrist measurement is to use an elastic band on your wrist. Place the yard stick virtically at your side on the floor. Slide the elastic band over it on the inside of your wrist. Making sure the stick stays on the floor, just slide your hand down it as you take your normal standing position. Then just grab the stick and read what the measurement is at your wrist.

I used to play with bladed clubs in my teens but stopped playing in my late teens as Golf got in the way of other things we discover as teenagers . Fast forward another 15 years I went to a golf shop 25years ago or so ( its closed down now) to buy some new clubs. They were one of the first shops to have a virtual range in a room at the back of the shop. Anyway i told the shop guy I wanted something not too expensive as I was starting to play again but wasn't expecting it to be much more than a dozen or so casual games a year. So he selected a few Irons and some drivers And got me hitting some balls I'm actually quite short so a lot of the clubs I gripped quite low After a while he disappeared and came back waving a 5 or 6 iron and said try this. These clubs seemed pretty good I was hitting the ball well and pretty straight. "What do you think of those?" he said. I asked "Can I try the matching woods?" so he came back with a 3 and 5 wood which I found to also suit my swing. Anyway Turned out they were last seasons demo model they were budget clubs shop soiled and he had no realistic chance of selling them So I walked out of the shop with a full set of clubs for about a 1/4 of what I thought I would be spending. The next day I was up the range hitting balls clubs were great and I was pleased with my bargain Howeer the Following Week I turned up to play Golf with the workmate who had convinced me to take the game up again Who said "Are those Women's Clubs?" Which of course they were! Funny enough I've still got them and played with them last week. They are actually about an inch too short as my hands are right on the ends of the grips.

Very well explained. Great info. 👏

When I first started to play golf, I used my dads irons which were 1/2 inch longer than standard. When I got my first set they were standard length. I could not hit them worth a darn. Took them to the local shop for a adjustment. Ever since, I’ve ordered every set 1/2” longer

Good trick, going to try the tape thing tonight

Hi AJ, appreciate ya man. Thanks

It's mostly preference! Im only 6'1" and extended my clubs 1" as they always felt short even tho they are standard length and love it, I'm a par golfer so not a chop that doesn't isn't sure about what feels good...

One other factor is waist height. Somebody with an unusually high or low waist height (bend point) needs club lengths reflecting that. Two people the same height with the same arm length can have different hand height from the ground at address if they have an unusual waist height (low or high). The percentage of golfers with unusual waist height is small, but it is important for them. Your comments on posture are also important for club length.

Brilliant and thanks

Just found the channel and really enjoy the content. Keep it up. What are your thoughts to spine irons? Usually done with driver but always wondered if you should with graphite shafts in your irons. Or does getting the shaft flowed or spine help at all in any club? Lots of places ask you if you want it when you test drivers and get an upgraded shaft but it’s always and up-charge. Always wondered if they are just trying to add on to the sale or if us mere mortals could benefit from it like the pros do.

Hi AJ, I used the wrist to floor measurements and looked at a few charts. Unfortunately the charts only have WTF that stops 31 inches. My WTF, is 30.5 inches. Hoever, before I cut my clubs. I'm going to use tape to make them as they are. The tape will show me where the cut would be. So I can chocking down where I've taped them on the grip. This will allow me to hit my clubs before i cut them. I am certain that my clubs are to long me, a 5 feet 5 and 1/2 Inches. So should I be using the .75 inches mesurement, is for a WTF of 31 inches? I really in joy learning about club making from watching your videos. I would love to own my own Golf pro shot one day, maybe whe I retire. Thanks for posting up all those great videos.

If i buy for example the new ping g425 but i want the shaft at 44 1/2 is the swing weight less than their standard model? What adjustments do they do to bring it back to the standard swing weight if needed? Is it better to use a counterbalanced shaft or a regular shaft when I want to buy a club with less than standard length? Thanks love the channel

Excellent tutorial. I hit all my shots near the hosel with my irons. Could this indicate that I need longer or shorter irons?

Great channel!! One thing I was always wondering. As a clubmaker is there a way you are able to purchase OEM heads? Is there a society to become a certified clubmaker that would allow you to buy oem components? Or do you have to rebuild sets you purchase?

Thanks for the info! Other videos just don't 'measure up!'

what are your thoughts on club length setups that aren't the standard 1/2 inch between clubs. my setup is this, 5 iron standard length, 4 iron 1/2 inch longer, however going down is different 6, 7, 8, 9, and Pw are all 3/8 inch shorter and then all my wedges PW, 51, 55, 59 are exactly the same length and lie. This was something I found in one of Tom Wishon's books on club building. It works very well for me.

Hi , if I usually hit with the heel . Do i have to ask the clubs more up or flat ?

Thank you so much 😊 my back will thank you me later

The wrist to floor is a straight measure but when tou stand the club is at an angle so is the club longer than the measure?

Hi AJ, great video as usual sir. Can you help? I’m 6’4” and play my irons +1”. My short irons and wedges feel too short even though they have been also extended 1”, what do you think? All clubs are 2deg upright.

Thank you for the video, it is appreciated. I was just fitted for some new clubs, TM P770. Everything was standard so they just sold me the clubs off the rack. I went to the range and start hitting shanks 30% of the time. I have not hit a shank consistently in five years. I took out my old clubs. I hit the new 7 iron, and my old 7 iron. I shanked the new club but not my old club. My old clubs standard and were off the rack too. Well, I laid the new and old 7 iron side by side; my old club is a half inch longer. Could this be causing the shank? Thanks for your help

How do you feel about the way where a consistent toe strike means the clubs too short and a heel strike means the clubs too long?

Does it make sense to just find your most accurate grip position and play it from that choked position without changing the length of the club ( for shortening of course) or is it beneficial to change the length and weight?

Is it worth getting a starter set custom fitted? Looking to get back into my golf game and have a cheap set of starter clubs. I'm 6'4" and feel all the clubs are just a bit short. Is it worth taking these in and getting fiited/new shafts? Dont really want to drop $1500+ on a new set of clubs when I only get out a couple times a year.

I have been watching your videos and enjoy them. I have an older set of persimmon woods 1, 3, and 5 which I had custom made. Years back of course. I want to restore them, is it worth my time and effort? I am not experienced, but you make it all look so easy. I know it isn't. I do not want to destroy these clubs. I also have a set of custom irons I want to restore. Can you help?

AJ,,,,I see your Loft and Lie machine in the background,,,,,,,,I am trying to mount my new one,,,,,,,could you steer me in the right direction on where you got it (the machine pedastel and base) or how you created it? thx much!!!

For woods and/or long irons, what's the typical impact pattern you see for shafts that are too long? Heel or Toe? 🤔 Thanks.

Why do I hit my wedges straight and not my irons? I wonder if I can choke down to wedge length and hit the same distance? I have been fitted 2 times. I draw the ball from 3 upright to 2 flat. The fitter said I need to work on my swing. I can hit a heavier shaft straight. But loose distance on the longer clubs. Confused. Maybe a lighter shaft? And not swing so hard. Better results?

I’ve been borrowing my dads clubs and I always top the ball. I’m a tad over 6ft are the clubs to short? Or is it a technique issue?

Do you think that all your irons should be the same length? My irons were ordered .50 incrementally shorter length ( end of grip) from longest 6 iron to PW.

Hello. AJ are you saying all your irons should be the same length. I always thought there were 1/2 steps.

Is all I need to extend my clubs just those extensions that you are talking about? I've been wondering if I bought some new clubs whether I'd need to being them to someone to change the length. I'm 6'2 and my 9 iron is SO short. That and some of my wedges just make me feel so uncomfortable and of balance.

I want to lengthen my g425 graphite irons. I hear they may be counter balanced. If they are. How do I go about lengthening them if there is a weight plug? And what would the id of the shaft be?

Can you fix length on clubs you already use and where

I've been fighting this issue for far too long. I have pings and the chart always puts me at Black dot. I'm 6,2' about 275 athletic build. I have wide shoulders, and while the WTF measurement makes sense, it however falls apart when my arms come together to grip a club. it feels as though my clubs are too short and my stance looks so hunched over. My question, is there another way to measure for the correct club length and lie angle for players that are built like me. I feel like so many dynamics are wrongly being absorb through RU-vid, like measurements and swing lag for players that are larger and not able to contort like the Mcllroy's of the world.

I’ve read in some places that the wrist-to.-floor measurement should be done in a golf posture. That’s not true?

Do you measure BOTH wrists? Or just the lead arm? As a right handed golfer do I measure my left wrist to floor?

When I got to the end of this video, I had no idea how to actually do what was intended. How exactly do I combine my height with the measurement from my wrist to the floor, in order to decide what length clubs I need?

If I need an Iron 7, 1/2 shorter, does it mean that all my other clubs ( driver, hybrid, sand and putter) need to be shorter as well? Thanks in advance !

hi so which way would the ball mark move if too long and you choke up… from toe to heal or vice versa

Why has the driver fitting video in the description link been deleted?

Masking tape is a good one, you can also put a dot of lipstick in the crease of the wrist, and bump the wall.

ok I found the chart but is only the 7 iron ,how can I determinate the rest of the irons ? lest said I have to add or remove 1/4 inch to the 7 iron . I do the same for the rest of the irons ?

Interested in how my arm gets longer by leaning over

sorry I found you video . I ask you if you can make one and you alreday had one

If you shorten a club, at what point do you have to adjust the lie angle and by how much? Is there a formula for that? Also, if you determine that you should shorten a 9 iron by half an inch, which makes it the same length as your PW (as originally built by the manufacturer), do you have to cut down the PW also, or would it be OK to leave them both at the same length since you know you can make good contact using the PW at that length?

Interesting but disappointing, why did I measure my wrist length? How is that measurement used to determine the right length shaft?

Do you measure height with shoes on or off?

this video could have been 1 minute I've never received so little information in such a long period of time

Ive always had Trex arms lol

KISS shoes?

How long is Keenan Bradley's, let's say 7 iron ? It looks like a child's. And yes, I know he's tall. I'm 5'9" and my 7 iron is 38 1/4". At set up the handle is 8"above my knee, keegans looks to be just above his knee.

Is there a storm trooper with a dog's head in the background?

Length isn't the issue, but lie is!

The "wrist joint" you reference is about 1.5" long, so unless you can identify an exact point in the joint that you're supposed to use, this is a highly inaccurate method.

Stand in front of a mirror and measure looking in the mirror

So don't do this barefoot but actually do it in shoes??

Feel like I'm back in school and your trying to get at 3 Min mark for the length of your speech.

How can I get you to fit me for some clubs lol

Same height...same DNA...Dohps

Fallen asleep zzzzzzz

Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

This guy is upsetting

Get to point. Talk to much.

You have to stop repeating yourself 8 times it makes the video wayyyyyy too long

I’m sorry, but this is all way too complicated. For high handicappers like myself who are constantly adjusting our posture or swing path trying to get a more consistent strike getting fitted for club length or any other club metric (lie angle) doesn’t make sense. Sure if you are a low handicap player and have a consistent swing it makes sense to get fitted otherwise just get standard length and lie. If the clubs are too long just choke up and unless you’re 6 feet plus with gorilla arms it’s unlikely you will need shorter clubs. Perfect your swing first and when you have that down pat, then get fitted.

omg i could have read 30 encylopedias by the time these guys finish yapping,, send ppl to sleep

jeeeeezzzz bubbahhh , you took the first 4 minutes to say not much at all , boring

Disappointing. Waste of time. Why would I watch 15 min to be told to go look at another place for the answer to the question.
