Do taller people need longer clubs

Did you build the driver and fw woods with the same method?

No, I tend to experiment with the woods until I find they are dialed in. The 3 and 5W are working great right now. Driver...not so much.

I reshafted my Raven RF-201s with Rifle 6.5s with the Wishon method, and they worked great today.

I would have rather have kept them shafted with FST Pro White (which were sorted and spined) but it's hard to get them down to 6.0+ on the rifle scale and have a lot of length to butt trim to the Wishon method.

Re: Read Tom Wishon's book, The Search for the Perfect Golf Club!

Just read it - WOW!!! puts alot of things in perspective and nukes alot of myths! There is a chapter on this exact question.

Everyone who has trouble with thier clubs needs to read this book, - espescially Geoff (LOL hahaha (oh ya, I think you read that a while back))

It wouldn't do Geoff any good. He just does not hold on to them long enough. Could you imagine the cost if he were fitted everytime he got a new set of sticks

It all has to do with the length from your wrist to the floor, standing up.

Mine is 37.25 inches and my irons are extended 3/4 of and inch. What comes into play with your height is the lie of the clubs. for instance, I'm 6'3" and with my height and wrist to floor combination My irons are 1.5 degrees upright.

There are charts all over the internet.

3/4" from what ? And please don't tell me STANDARD! The only thing the famous wrist to floor measurment is good for is a starting point. You have to take in to account posture, set-up, ball position and swing mechanics to pinpoint the optimum lenght required. You can't use a chart off the internet to determine your liie angle. Again, club weight, shaft flex, swingweight,posture, setup,etc.. are all variables that affect the clubhead @ impact.
