Faldo and Woosnam play with the same length shafts - it's all about the lie angle. Faldo being very tall, Woosnam being not very tall - they both gripped it in a similar fashion so it wasn't all that noticable.

Kim grips down on a longer shaft than perhaps suits him from a conventional point of view - but sometimes the best golfers do things their own way.

You can always see the end of Sergios clubs too - it's the style he plays.

I asked Brett Porath, Director of Titleist FittingWorks, about this today and he pointed out that most golfers have a similar wrist-to-floor measurement in the setup position anyway, so golfer height is almost irrelevant.

Almost all of the Titleist custom fit jobs fit within +/- 1/2" and within +/- 2° lie angle. So from yet another perspective, Kostis' statement is puzzling (and/or a bit dumb).

    • Day 22 (23 May 24) / played the weekly nine-hole semi-scramble with the guys.  Solid play - primary focus was on making solid contact with the irons. 
    • Day 41: Pitching/chipping into the net. A few full swings with driver hitting Almost Golf balls.
    • Day 568, May 23, 2024 Loooooooong day today. Got some shadow work done with an umbrella.
    • Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!
    • Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer.
