Slow swing speed - would you quit?

Maybe you should change courses. You would be one of the better players at mine. But seriously, little things like proper grip pressure can increase swing speed, there are lots of things a pro can help you with.

Never give up, I was in your shoes once myself when I first started playing. My average drives where around 220 (carry) yards, but as I improved my technique through lots of practice and a lesson here and there I was able to get my average drives to 270. Get some lessons and keep practicing it will get better.

There was a previous poster who said that your height has very little to do with the length of clubs you need to use. This is basically correct! What matters is your wrist to ground measurement.

I read a book by Tom Wishon where he wrote about fitting an NBA player for clubs. The guys was about 6'10", so most would automatically assume he would need longer than standard clubs. He did not! His arms were so long that his hands were down around his knees, and Wishon had to actually make a set of clubs that were shorter than standard for this guy!

The same poster said that a fitting while swinging the clubs, or a "dynamic" fitting, was the only way to determine proper length. I have to disagree. A static fitting is fine to determine club length. What a dynamic fitting will help determine is proper lie angle and shaft flex. Also, maybe grip size if the fittee has overly large or small hands, and how they are used in the swing.
