When it comes to playing the ball to the right area and covering a distance the Golf clubs equipment play an important part. The swing of the club that is achieved by the player while hitting the ball is the key to achieving the swing of the ball and covering the distance. To get a perfect swing it is very much important that you choose the perfect golf club length depending on your height and the type of shot you are playing. When it comes choosing the right length of the Golf club shaft, you should always choose a size that you can handle comfortably. Though it is told a longer club will help to cover greater distance, it can deviate the ball to a great extent if you can not handle the length of the club properly. This is the reason that even the professional players do not prefer unusually longer clubs. So it is always advisable that you go for a Golf club sizing that is apt for your height.
Though there is no set measurement for Golf club sizing most of the golf clubs that are sold at the retail golf stores more or less have the same size. The standard golf clubs that are made by different companies come in sizes that hardly differ by one inch from each other. For example the drivers that are made for male players are generally 45 inches long and the women’s drivers are 44 inches long. The length of the woods that are used by the male players starts from 44 inches and as the number of the woods gets higher the length is decreased by one inch.
For the ladies golf club sizing sets the woods are generally one inch shorter to the corresponding men’s woods. When it comes to Iron clubs the lowest numbered Iron (1-Iron) is generally 39 inches long. As the number of the Iron increases the length decreases by one inch. Like the other clubs the Irons for the ladies are also one inch shorter than the men’s iron. The wedges that are used by men are normally 35 inches long and the women’s wedges are of 34 inches.
Though the standard golf club sizing is determined after much research and meant to suit every golfer in general, a customized golf club definitely improves the comfort level of the player. That is why most regular players and professional golfers always prefer custom made golf clubs that are designed according to their height.
Presently the increasing popularity of the graphite Golf clubs has modified the Golf club sizing standards. As against the metal clubs, graphite clubs are generally one inch shorter in the corresponding number of the club. This is because the graphite clubs are lighter than the metal clubs and that creates a difference in the impact of the swing to the ball. To adjust that difference and to maintain the precision of the shots the graphite clubs have a shorter length that helps the player to achieve a better swing and yet maintain the precision of the shot.
