Re: Club Length
[quote="jim_0068
IMO...use the shortest shafts that doesn't redue a significant amount of swing speed to not hinder distance. Also, a length that creates a good posture. Bending from the waist is good, but not too much.

The shorter the shaft the easier it is to hit the sweet spot. However the shorter the shaft the lighter the swing weight (personal feel thing but it still counts) and there will be a lie adjustment that has to be made.[/quote]

I have a different opinion on this topic. I use the longest shaft I can control in the woods in order to max distance. I am 5'10 and 140 punds, and carry a 46" driver. I tried 47" but that felt slightly to heavy for my strenght.

That way I can hit it fairly long without jumping out of my shoes.

I think club lenght should be picked with regard to how far you need each club to go. And use lie adjustment to account for height, wrist-to- floor distance etc.
