Shaft length

[achadha7]

When measuring shaft length is there a standard ? I.e. measured from butt of shaft till where tge shaft meets tge club face / hosel or from the butt till the heel ? Thanks

Club lengths keep changing over the years. They are getting longer due to a couple of factors, weight and manufactures trying to make clubs go further. Have a look on golfclubshaftreview.com where they have a club length page.

I think you're asking "how do they measure shaft length", right? If so, I believe this is how it's done: they take the club and set it so the sole lies flat on the ground. Then they run a measuring tape from the top of the grip (the butt) down the back of the shaft to the ground. That distance, from the gound to the butt, is the shaft length.

This illustration shows club length, but you need to know what the finished club length will be to get shaft length right.
