What length do you play your driver?  Most drivers come standard from the shop well over 45" (45.5, 45.75, etc).  Mine was fitted right at 45"


I have it at 45.25

I play a Ping G410 Plus at standard length, which is 45.75”. When I was fit for it, we did tinker with the idea of shortening it, but it didn’t help me find the sweetspot any better.

A poll would be nice for this topic. Mine is standard 45.5”.

PXG fit me to 43.5", X stiff and D4. It is good to get fit, especially for a driver I have come to realize. My irons are 1" short as well with X100s.

My current driver was originally 44.5”, but I snapped the shaft and the replacement Cobra sent was 1” longer. I didn’t notice any difference.

I’ll be doing a driver fitting soon, so not sure what I’ll end up with.

Depends on which Driver, I play. My ZX5 is 46", My Z785 is 45.5", My Nickent is 45", Alina's US Kids Driver is 36" but the clubs are actually too long for her right now she's 4' 1" has long arms like her dad, Alli's is 43.5"... I occasionally mess around with all of the Drivers previously listed, but namely the first two.

According to the internet my TaylorMade Dual R5 and Cleveland HiBore are at 45 inches.  Probably at the maximum length for me though a touch shorter would probably be ideal for ensuring I hit it straight everytime

Ping G30 12 deg. with a 3 wood shaft = 43.5 inches. Works great for me.

Standard 45.75" on the Mav Max driver. I have thought about taking a 1/2-3/4" off of it but don't like to mess it up. Once off the shaft can never be put back on to satisfy me, psychologically. So, for about 20% of the time, I just choke down on the club a bit to accomplish the same thing.

Good point. We can always choke up a bit to play it shorter.

    • Day 335 - More putting work, with the focus on setup and hitting the sweet spot. 
    • Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good. 
    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
