How do you find the best golf clubs for your size?

Slim asked:
I’m a tall guy (6′4″), and I’ve tried to play golf a few times, but using borrowed clubs, and they’ve always been too short for me, I have to use a very uncomfortable stance and can’t hit the ball for sh*t, I’ve been told I need longer clubs, but I don’t know anything really about finding the right kind or length.

The exact same height as you dont want to have them measure you im the same problem especially with irons purchased set of manufacturers make different length clubs try.

Visit a custom club fitter - it will be money well spent if you are seriously thinking of taking up the game.

You can use the link below to check both club length and shaft flex. Remember, it’s not how tall you are, it’s how far your wrists are from the floor that matters. Taller people typically have longer arms, so the difference in club length between someone that’s 5′10″ and someone that’s 6′4″ may not be a great as you would think.

You will probably require a longer and more upright club. If you are not striking the ball right now, there really isn’t much a club fitter can do for you other than take your money and make a general recommendation. In order to be fitted you have to be able to repeat your swing. It doesn’t appears as though you can. The PING sight has some fitting charts that I have used in the past. They are generally pretty good. Golf Club Exchange has a search engine you can use to find use and new clubs that met your specifications.
Good Luck!

You need to be fitted for clubs at your height. Go to your local golf store to be fitted.
