| The length of your clubs has something to do with your height, but the actual measurement is taken from the bend in your wrist to the floor, while your standing in your natural address position. Here's some information you can use.
HOW TO DETERMINE LENGTH: To determine the length of your club, stand at attention and have someone measure from the crease where your wrist and hand meet to the floor. Do this with both hands and take an average.
If you measure:
• 29 to 32 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 37 inches
• 33-34 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 37 1/2 inches
• 35-36 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 38 inches
• 37-38 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 38 1/2 inches
• 39-40 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 39 inches
• 41 or more inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 39 1/2 inches
A 4 iron would be approximately 1/2 inch longer, while a 6 iron 1/2 shorter. I hope the above will help in choosing your next shaft replacement or help in choosing your next set of new clubs. I suggest that you see a reputable clubfitter to help you make the right decision.
