Question:
Newsgroups: rec.sport.golf I just purchased a Taylor Made 3-wood and 7-wood and noticed that the shaft on the 3-wood is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch longer than the 7-wood shaft. Is this normal? — Paul A. Sheldon "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards,
Paul: Usually there is a 1/2" difference between each club in the set. Here are the standard lengths for woods. driver: 43" 2 wood: 42 1/2" 3 wood: 42" 4 wood: 41 1/2" 5 wood: 41" 6 wood: 40 1/2" 7 wood: 40" 8 wood: 39 1/2" 9 wood: 39" You get the picture. One or both of your clubs are out of sync. Hope this helps.

I’m surprised it’s that small a difference. I’d expect a 3W to be 1"-2" longer than a 7W (depending on what they do for clubs loftier than a 5W, which should be 1" shorter than a 3W). BTW, you don’t measure a clubs length by the length of the exposed shaft. It’s along the CL of the shaft, from the butt to the intersection with the ground, with the club soled. Hope this helps. Dave
