Why Golf Club Length Matters
Using golf clubs that are the wrong length for your physical stature is one of the most common reasons for poor ball striking. If your clubs are too long, you'll likely hit the ground before the ball or struggle with a "toe-up" strike. If they are too short, you may thin the ball or suffer from "toe-down" impacts that slice to the right.
How to Measure Wrist-to-Floor (WTF):
Wear your typical golf shoes.
Stand on a hard, flat surface with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Let your arms hang naturally at your sides.
Have someone measure from the primary crease in your wrist (where your hand meets your arm) straight down to the floor.
Standard Length vs. Custom Length
In the golf industry, "Standard" is typically designed for a golfer who is 5'9″ to 6'0″ tall with a wrist-to-floor measurement of approximately 34 to 36 inches. However, every manufacturer has a slightly different definition of standard. Our calculator uses the Static Fitting Chart method used by major manufacturers like Ping and Mizuno.
Example Calculations
Tall Golfer: A player who is 6'4″ with a 38″ wrist-to-floor measurement will typically require clubs that are +1 inch longer than standard.
Shorter Golfer: A player who is 5'5″ with a 31″ wrist-to-floor measurement will typically require clubs that are -0.5 inches shorter than standard.
Long Arms: Even a tall person with very long arms might fit into standard length clubs because their "Wrist-to-Floor" distance remains in the average range.
Correcting Your Swing with Length
Proper club length allows you to maintain an athletic posture throughout the swing. If the length is correct, you should be able to tilt from the hips comfortably without feeling like you are reaching for the ball or standing too upright. This static fitting is the first step before undergoing a dynamic fitting (hitting balls on a launch monitor).
