I understand your point and I think you are right. One thing to keep in mind is that with a lot of these new graphite shafts they have a specific snap point to maximize the club itself. I am 5'10 and I can hit the 45 well - but to each his own and I agree that clubs should be fitted - I only related my story cuz I think these shafts are engineered to be that length and I noticed a big difference once I found the right club - so in the end - for me it was the right club maybe more then the shaft length - that being said I think shaft length can help maximize the club and increase distance..at least it did for me. but you know like clint eastwood says...opinions are like a$$holes - everyone has one
