How much smaller should a golf club be then you. I just want answers for my short irons. (7-9) and driver, plus i 4 iron hybrid thanks. What ever sounds right i will give best answer to
Nick,
That is a trick question. Golf clubs are not measured by how tall you are but by how far from the ground the first wrinkle of your wrist is.
After determining the distance between your wrist and the floor, then a length can be given for your Driver and 5 iron.
For each wood, (1, 3, 5 , 7) there is an inch difference between these clubs.
For each iron (2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…) there is a half inch difference between these. The 2, 3, and 4 iron would be longer then the 5 iron, and the 6, 7, 8,…, would all be shorter then the 5 iron.
So to get yours fit properly you would have to get your wrist to floor measurement and go from there.
Hope this helps,
J
