That is why cutting at the grip-end end is preferred for improving accuracy. The following steps will help you to extend your current driver shaft length. Read more: How to use golf club epoxy. As in the case of shortening a shaft, you must be aware of what the effects would be if you increase its length. Increasing the length of a 45 inches shaft by an extra inch will help you gain about five to six heavier swing weight points and will affect your timing. The shaft will also be a bit more flexible and softer than it was before the extension.
Remember that your accuracy is likely to be at stake with the lengthened golf club. You may find it difficult to render a solid shot. The extra length also tends to reduce the bend or kick point of the shaft.
The standard length for a male driver shaft used to be However, in recent times, the standard driver length has been accepted as 45 inches. While the standard length for this club was initially 43 inches, it was revised to 44 inches in The minimum length for a driver shaft is 18 inches.
However, the minimum and maximum lengths do not apply to putters. Drivers that exceed 48 inches in length cannot be used to play official tournaments and long driving competitions. Irrespective of whether you own a golf club with a steel shaft or a graphite shaft, there is a maximum length that your shaft can have.
This length has been set as 48 inches by the United States Golf Association under the Rules of Golf and it must not be exceeded. Needless to say, this makes it essential for the shaft of the driver to be of the correct length for you to play a perfect game.
Cutting down the shaft length offers assurance of control while increased length generates more clubhead momentum and offers more overall distance. There are various parameters that you must consider while trying to pick the right shaft for your game.
These are as follows:. The best way to narrow down on the right shaft is to do test shots on the range with drivers of varying lengths. The right shaft length will help you to hit the golf ball with the driver much the same way that you would do with a wedge. You must find a shaft length that offers you a comfortable rhythmic and smooth swing and the ability to hit the maximum distance consistently with accuracy.
A swing using a inch shaft must be able to take the ball by approximately an extra distance of 20 yards when compared to a hit with a inch shaft that will make the ball travel approximately yards. While upright lie angles are often associated with tall people, short players prefer flatter lie angles. By increasing or decreasing the shaft length by an extra half an inch will result in the club playing 1 degree more upright, or flat respectively. With a standard-length club, tall players tend to stoop quite a bit while short players will find themselves having to stand in a more upright position than required.

What new wrinkle I have this year is a bit earlier forearm rotation so I'm not also taking the club WAY out. Played the front nine today at RiverBend with the missus. Another solid, for me, round as I had just one double to go against two pars and six bogies. Takeaways today - 4 of 7 fairways hit had several that were less than an yard off the short stuff , only 2 GIR but another three nGIR. Overall ball striking was more consistent and flightpaths are becoming more predictable, which "knowing" that has allowed me to keep the head down and focused on the ball.
Ended up with a 44, no penalty strokes - just a good relaxing time. Best part though was seeing my wife enjoy her round as well. She almost made par on a couple of holes, so the bug is getting to her!
Played 9 today with the missus. Was a great afternoon, temps in the 70's and no wind. She keeps me from getting too serious when we play, so today was about relaxing and just coming through the ball.
Kept true to the pre-shot routine I've adopted, focused on keeping the head down and having the weight forward at the end of the swing. Except for the hard hook on the first tee still playable as it bounced back in bounds , the drives were in the short stuff. Was pleased with the overall mechanics of the day. MSchad 59 years old.
