Do taller players have longer shafts or bend over more?

I'm 6'3" and my dad wants to put extensions on my irons (normal length); in your estimation would this be beneficial or not?

Thanks.

Have you gone and gotten fitted? It's all about your swing...I don't know if extensions would fit into you game since your 6 3, b/c I know a lot of players that are about that tall and are fitted to the standard length. You need to be fitted before you go and extend them.

Ditto. Extensions are a last resort. You can usually just put in a lighter shaft (even steel) if you really need an extra inch or two. Otherwise you're probably just looking at an upright lie angle and maybe 1/2" longer shaft, which is nothing.

    • Yep.  If a vehicle is even moving at 25 mph, that covers 37-FT in one second, or 10 yards in one second. It is highly probable that Scottie didn't have time to react, and ended up driving further than what the cop probably deemed acceptable and thought Scottie was trying to run him over.  The fact is, the cop should not have put themselves in that position to begin with.  Edit. I didn't even calculate the stop distance needed (when Scottie hits the brakes). That 10 yards is if he never slowed down. Human reaction time is about .25 seconds, maybe longer when it is 5AM. 
    • I read this story yesterday about Scottie, interesting to read something a little different than the standard coverage about him. If you have NYT or Athletic access.  Scottie Scheffler’s secret: How a ‘venomous’ trash talker became the best golfer in the world Scheffler has worked to tame his inner competitive fire but those who've seen it up close have...  
    • His recognition factor may be even lower if he has to play in that orange jumpsuit. May be mistaken for Rickie Fowler.😉
    • Reports are saying the officer jumped onto his car. So he assaulted the officer with his car, that the officer voluntarily jumped on top of.
