I then have cg rtx cb 56' bent to 55' - 35.25 stock and 60' @ 35.125 stock . what do I need for length in my cg wedges ? do I need to alter or is stock length ok ? also my fitting for irons standard length , and reg flex in kbs tours , with 2' upright lie angle . it seems more taller people need upright , I'm 5'10 . why would I need upright , swing flaw ?

Rule of thumb for numbered iron shafts is this: 1/2" difference in length, and 4* difference in loft as you go up and down the set. For rough planning, this equals 10-12 yards difference between clubs for the average golfer.

Wedges , however are often different. The past few years, many wedges come only 1/4" (or sometimes 1/8") different in length between classes of wedges. (Classes = PW, GW, SW, LW, +LW). Thus a Vokey 46* and 48* PWs likely have the same shaft length.

Club designer Ralph Maltby recommends a consistent shaft length difference between your wedges.

Check out his wedge fitting link: http://www.ralphmaltby.com/17

For your irons : 2* upright might deal with how you address the ball. If you stand taller than average, or have arms an inch shorter than "average," this might explain it.

Focus, connect and follow through!
