Determining
wrist-to-floor measurement
To
determine your wrist-to-floor measurement wear non golf shoes
and stand on a
hard surface with your arms hanging relaxed at your
sides. Then have someone
measure from the point where your hand
meets your wrist (as shown in the
diagram below) to the floor.
With this measurement and your height, we will
be able to determine
the correct club length for you. The
chart below helps you determine if you should have your
clubs
altered from the standard size based on your
height
and wrist-to-floor
measurement.
Note:
Club length alterations given are in inches. For example,
+1.75"
means that your clubs should be made to
be 1.75" longer than standard
length. A -0.5"
instructs us to build your clubs to be 0.5" shorter
than
standard length. And a S means that the proper
club length for you is
Standard. Use the Chart to determine
how much longer or shorter
(than standard) your club
length should be by finding where Your Height
and Wrist-to-Floor
Measurements intersect:
Shaft
flex, a measurement of how much a shaft will bend under
a certain load,
is directly related to trajectory,
distance and feel. The proper shaft flex for
your swing
speed helps produce the optimal trajectory for your
shots.
Flex Chart: Use
the Charts below to determine the proper flex. The
charts below are for consistent carry yardages only
(don't include roll).
Generally taller players require longer clubs and
shorter players
require shorter clubs. In metal woods
your skill level will dictate
the need for additional
length. A shorter driver may increase
distance for a
player who has difficulty making solid contact. Putter
length is based on a golfer's posture and hand position
at
address. Use the chart below to determine the proper
shaft length.
Grip size plays a significant role
in the shape of every golfer's
shot. Use the chart below
to determine the proper grip size
for the clubs. Too
large a grip can limit the golfer's ability to
properly
release the wrists through the impact area (
resulting
in a block and/or fade), while too small a grip
can
cause an early release (resulting in a pull and/or draw).
