I’m trying to get a better understanding of what the standard lengths are for golf irons. I’ve been reading that different manufacturers have varying standards, and I want to make sure I’m selecting the right clubs for my game.
Here are a few specifics I’m curious about:
What are the typical lengths for each iron? I’d love to see a breakdown from pitching wedge to 3-iron.
How do these lengths impact my swing? Should I be concerned if I’m a bit taller or shorter than average?
Are there guidelines for fitting based on height or swing style? I’ve always worn standard lengths but feel like I might need a custom fit.
If anyone has any resources or personal experience to share, that would be great! Thanks in advance for any advice or help you can provide.
The standard length for golf irons typically varies between 36 to 39 inches depending on the club type. For example, a pitching wedge is generally shorter than a 7-iron.
Swing type definitely plays a role! For instance, a more upright swing might suit slightly shorter clubs, while flatter swings could benefit from longer ones.
The standard length of golf irons usually ranges from 36 to 39 inches, but it’s essential to personalize them based on your physical attributes. Custom fittings can optimize your game significantly!
It’s interesting how even a small difference in iron length can affect your swing. I always thought it was just a marketing gimmick until I got fitted myself!
Different playing styles can also dictate the need for custom lengths. Some prefer more control, while others might prioritize distance. What do you all suggest for beginners?
I like to joke around that the only fitting I ever needed was my waistband after a golf weekend! But seriously, custom clubs have improved my game immensely.
