What custom length irons are you using?

[JYB]

Right now i'm using standard but after trying out Howard Wyckoff's clubs today, I am going to get re-fit when i buy my new set at +1 inch.

[x-forged]

I play standard length at 6'0 tall and they are perfect length for me.

[Caddyshack]

im 6f3 and use +1 inch and 3°upright, they are my first ever custom clubs and its the best thing i have ever done for my game.

I'm 6'6 and went from a +1 2* up to a +1 5* up, changed my game completely. Now this is no joke, the 1st round I play them after bending them 5° I had a flip PW from about 80 yards on the first hole, 2 bounce chip in! GET YOUR CLUBS FITTED!

I'm 6'3" and play +1 1/2" (not very long arms for my height), 1° upright. Like others who have posted before, getting fitted was the best thing I've ever done for my game. (Even better than lessons. You have to practice those. )

[Dub]

6'5" tall and play the clubs in my signature line.

Were I forced to replace them today then it'd be with custom fitted X20Pros with the the steel shaft.....about as close to them as I can find on the market.

Custom fit is important when you are tall.

[JYB]

i think it's great that everyone who has responded here is over 6'0" tall. I'm 6'2" and the +1 inch is going to be great when i get my clubs fitted next season. Now, it's just a matter of WHICH irons i want to get. Thus far, possible choices :

Bridgestone Forged J3 Combo
Nike Forged CCi
Titleist AP2/ZB/ZM's...not sure which of the three
Cobra CB or CM's

[RaginCajun]

I'll jump in too....I just got fitted for some G10 irons...

I'm 6' the irons are +.75" 2* up

And just like everyone else has said, having clubs fitted makes a huge difference!

[bigphil]

my sig says it all, and im 6'½"

i not only simply tested many different combinations of length when i was shopping for my new irons, i got fitted, and also used fitting charts from a bunch of different sites. my fitter told me to go with +½" but most charts said standard length with 2º up. so with that i tested lengths ranging from standard to +1" and +¼" produced the best results, and felt the best to me.

My first set of irons beyond the starter set I was given are the Nike Sumo's. They've made the game much more enjoyable for me in terms of getting the ball in the air but even more than that, these are about an inch longer than standard. I'm 6'3" with fairly long arms.

I'd like to know what the other taller guys did before they got longer clubs ... I used to hate having to squat/crouch when hitting shots!

[topspin4hand]

Btw, I just saw a 3 minute clip of Stewart Cink (6' 4") giving some instruction and he mentioned that his clubs are all standard length ... I didn't know that and it is somewhat relaxing to me b/c despite being fitted, I always feel like I struggle to get my club down to the ball on my irons.

It's not surprising that Cink uses standard length shafts - it's not always about the length, the lie angle is more important if you can get you body/back at the right angle at address.

I read somewhere before that Nick Faldo (6'4") and Ian Woosnam (5'6") used the same length shafts back in their hayday - interesting stuff considering their height diff.

Anywho - for me, i got +1/4 inch and 0.75* (blue dot) upright, though I think i'd get +1.5* upright if I was getting new Ping irons. I'm 6'1/2". Fitted myself on the Ping website, went to my Pro and he recommended the exact same set-up.

[Shindig]

5'8 or 5'9, I think I've grown, but not since the fitting. My irons are -1/2".

[andre112]

5'10"
-1/4" 1 deg flat
37.75" 5 iron (= ping's standard length)

[Double Bogey]

I am 6'8" and my clubs are 4.5 inches extended. Best decision I ever made.

[Magnus]

I'm 6'2" ans use +1" on my irons. Std lie, but I think I read somewhere that for every inch you add to the club length you actually make it 2* more upright? Idk for some reason that sticks in my mind. In any case the difference is amazing......get fitted. Oh, and the +1" will add 5+ yds to all of your irons - at least it did for me. Unintended result, just something to watch out for, fyi.

[TK LP]

I'm 6'-5", and my irons are 1" long, I still need to hit them on the lie board.

[shortstop20]

I am going to go get myself fitted for some new clubs sometime soon. I'm using a set of standard length Dunlop blade irons I've had for 3-4 years right now, they ain't cuttin' the mustard.

Lets say for some reason after you bought the clubs you decided you wanted them a little shorter, can they cut/shave them down a little or does this mess up the whole fitting of the club? Worst case scenario but I was just curious.
