Hi all,
I am a high-handicapper who is 5'4"-5'5" with a wrist-to-floor measurement of 30 inches. I am pretty happy with the progress of my game everywhere except for on the tee, struggling most with my 45.5 inch driver and 43.5 inch 3-wood.
I have seen online conversion charts that suggest I cut my clubs by an inch or even an 1.75".
This seems like the right thing to do but I was wondering if any one had any anecdotal experience doing this. How big a change was it? Did this had any huge effect on resale value (the main hangup). I know that I shouldn't be worried about gear as someone with such a beginner's level game but part of the appeal of golf is playing with new toys, and I can see myself getting gadget lust in the near future (like how my iPhone suddenly feels inferior after today's announcement).
Also, if this is definitely the right thing to do, can anyone recommend a place in the Bay Area for me to go and get my clubs fit, cut, and regripped?
And does getting "fit" mean they start from scratch or can they suggest how to make the changes in my bag (like bending or cutting suggestions for the clubs I own). I would prefer the latter.
Thanks, Trappers!
