Bought my first club set online (used to rent) and I was bending a lot more than usual. Stopped by PGA store and found out I need 1” long clubs, so I returned my set and am on the lookout for new clubs. Any advice for 1” long beginner sets? Don’t seem to see that many online and there wasn’t much choice at the store…

Tbh all “beginner sets” are going to be at the standard length

Most beginners wouldn’t notice until they were no longer beginners and went in for a nicer set of clubs. If you want to get some fitted clubs, go back to PGA and buy the cheapest ones they sell. In theory you could strike gold and find someone that is selling their old clubs that are longer, maybe search secondswing

Just be aware that +1 isn’t the same for all manufacturers. Like mizuno irons are .25 longer than what other OEMs consider their standard say 7i length. It’s all because of the way they measure it.

1” is a lot. How tall are you?

I’m 6’4” and have 0.5” extension

6’2 - and distance from wrist to floor is 39”

I mean it just makes me not have to bend down as much as I’m standing over the ball which has been good. Allows me to be more concise with my swing along the proper plane. The fitter told me that +1 was the way to go for me as well. But I am coming from a bit different background as I got fitted for the first time after playing for a few years
