I'm a software developer and golf enthusiast. I built this calculator to help easily calculate the length of your golf clubs.
Understanding Golf Club Length Measurements
The golf club length calculator helps determine the ideal club length based on your height and wrist-to-floor measurement. Proper club length is crucial for improving your golf game and ensuring consistent performance on the course.
Why Golf Club Length Matters
Having the correct length golf clubs is essential for maintaining proper posture and achieving consistent contact with the ball. Whether you're using standard length clubs or need custom fitting, your wrist to floor measurement and golfer's height are crucial factors in determining the right club length.
Key Benefits of Proper Club Length
- Improved accuracy and distance control
- Better posture throughout your golf swing
- Consistent ball striking
- Enhanced overall performance on the golf course
How to Measure for Golf Club Length
Wrist to Floor Measurement Steps:
- Stand on a flat surface in your regular golf shoes
- Keep your arms hanging straight at your sides
- Measure from your wrist crease to the floor
- Record both your height and wrist-to-floor measurement
Understanding the Golf Club Length Chart
The golf club length chart provides recommended adjustments based on your measurements. Longer clubs or shorter clubs may be needed depending on your specific measurements:
Standard Length Adjustments:
- Taller players (over 6'2"): Add 1/2" to 2" to standard length
- Average height (5'7" to 6'1"): Standard length clubs
- Shorter players (under 5'7"): Subtract 1/2" to 1" from standard length
Additional Fitting Considerations
-
1
Lie Angle
The correct lie angle works together with proper club length for optimal performance
-
2
Grip Size
Should be considered alongside club length for a complete fitting
-
3
Shaft Flex
Affects overall club performance and should match your swing characteristics
When to Consider Club Fitting
While our golf club length calculator provides a good starting point, visiting a professional club fitter can help fine-tune your equipment for optimal performance. Consider a professional fitting:
-
1
When Starting Golf
Begin with properly fitted clubs to develop correct mechanics
-
2
After Significant Changes
Physical changes or swing modifications may require club adjustments
-
3
Performance Plateau
When your golf game isn't improving despite practice
Important Notes
-
1
Individual Differences
Each golfer's unique swing and physical characteristics may require slight variations from standard recommendations
-
2
Regular Re-measurement
Check your measurements periodically, especially if your posture or physical characteristics change
Remember that while the golf club length calculator provides a solid starting point, your perfect fit may require some fine-tuning based on your unique swing characteristics and playing style. Consider consulting with a professional club fitter for the most accurate results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stand on a flat surface without shoes, let your arms hang naturally at your sides, and measure from the crease where your hand meets your wrist straight down to the floor. Keep the measuring tape perpendicular to the floor for accuracy. This measurement, combined with your height, determines your ideal club length adjustment.
The standard length for a men's 7-iron is 37 inches. Standard driver length is 45 inches for men and 44 inches for women. Based on your height and wrist-to-floor measurement, you may need adjustments of -1.5 to +2 inches from standard lengths.
Club length significantly affects your posture, swing plane, and contact consistency. Clubs that are too long cause cramped swings, upright posture, and toe strikes. Clubs that are too short cause excessive bending, reaching for the ball, and heel strikes. Proper length improves accuracy, distance control, and overall performance.
Wrist-to-floor measurement is more accurate than height alone because two golfers of the same height can have different arm lengths. Use both measurements together for best results. Our calculator combines both factors to provide the most accurate club length recommendation.
