Opinions on Club Length

“A three wood is generally 2” shorter than a driver. Everyone has their own preference, but that’s a good place to start.” – IcemanYVR

“There is no right answer. It’s whatever works best for you. I got my 3 wood fitted as my first fitting and it’s one of my best clubs in the bag.” – KeySheMoeToe

Consider Swing Weight

“Careful taking too much off, it will have a huge impact on the swing weight of the club. You might be better off with a 5 wood lofted down a touch and 1/2” short.” – PossibleOk49

Personal Experience with Club Length

“I have no advice but I recently got my son a 44′ driver because he was growing out of his. I cant hit this thing offline. I can swing as wild and hard as I want with this thing and I only get bout 5 yards of dispersion left or right.” – Bubbly_Bullfrog_106
