Lenght of Drivers / Woods / Hybrids.

[Frijolito1988]

Hey everyone, new to the forum & Golf ( 3 weeks)  . I recently purchased a TM R9 Iron set 3i-P and a Ghost Putter and still working on my swing. I am about 6'3 and got fitted and they said i need my Irons +1'' and STIFF and my question was I was told at golfsmith that I dont have to modify my Drivers / Woods or Hybrids to +1'' , but I asked the same question at another golf shop today and he said If my Irons are +1'' I should modify my driver / wood / hybrids ect....So what is the real truth to this ?

I dont have a driver or wood or any hybrids yet as i want to get my swing down really good on my irons before I buy anything else ( but having a hard time with my 3i-4i I think I am going hybrid on those )

Thanks in advance.

That's a good question.  A lot of drivers are longer now anyways, more than 45".  Check out this link I found just doing some google searches http://golftips.golfsmith.com/long-should-golf-clubs-be-2392.html

You said the first place did a fitting and gave you information, then the second place just told you something.    Did the second place do a fitting as well?   If not, I would tend to go with what the place that actually did the fitting told you.   They would have the most accurate information about you .  I am 6'4" and when I was fitted, they added 2" to my irons, 1" to my hybrid and nothing to any of the woods..    So it is entirely possible that the first guy was correct (It could also be that my fitting was incorrect I suppose but everything seems to work and fit right for me.).
