I’m 6 feet tall and got fit into 0.5” longer irons. Does this seem reasonable? From charts it looks like I’m borderline vs. standard length.

Really depends on a lot of factors. Are you long legged? do you have long or short arms? It really has a lot to do with the distance from your hand to the floor while standing straight and not necessarily your height. I am 6’4 and play with about .5 inch extensions

I’m 6’3 and play with a full extra inch. It all depends on your body type and setup on top of just height.

Ty!

The cut off seems to vary depending on where you go. I’m 6’4” and also had irons extended 0.5.”

I’d say you’d probably be fine with standard clubs at your height, but there’s a measure of personal preference/comfort that should be included.

Yes there is more variables than just height that go into club length.

I’m 5’11 and my fitter was debating between half inch longer or standard. He had me hit the half inch longer ones a few times during the fitting but I had more instances of chunking it so he kept me at standard.

That said, given our similar heights if they fit you into them based on your swing it doesn’t seem too far off.

I’m 6’2 and use standard cause I was chunking the longer ones too

This is all helpful - thank you! Glad to hear the extra length is reasonable.

I’m 6’1 and play with .5 inch extra. There are so many factors outside of height like arm/torso/leg length at play when fitting for clubs but at the end of the day, being comfortable with your clubs is all that matters like many others have said.

Anyone can play with standard clubs and anyone can play with extended clubs — just comes down to preference

I’m 6 and use standard length

Just make sure the fitter will revisit with you and adjust length/lie if it doesn't work out. Most will, some will for free. Turf grass plays differently than artificial turf and every swing is unique. I'm 5"11' and played standard for my entire adult life until I went for a fitting. Fitter took measurements but also talked with me about my common mis-hits and challenges on the course in addition to the shot tracker analysis. I was surprised when he suggested .25" short at my height but I've gained much more accuracy and consistency in distance with my irons.

Are you trying to break 100 or break 75? If it’s the former, iron length couldn’t matter less.

I shoot in the upper 80s but have only played about a year. Trying to dial in irons to grow with me as I play a lot more

Depends on arm length too and not just height. Length from wrist to ground.

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?
