Club length?

Have you noticed lately that Tiger is gone to longer clubs and stands further from the ball..seems to be working quite well from him. I stick with your clubs and stand a little farther away. Good luck to you.

Warnings being given (and I agree) I would not shorten my clubs unless it is more comfortable. The more you shorten the clubs the stiffer they are. The more flexible your shafts the more work they do. If you do not want to lose distance, do not shorten your clubs. I would also look into a senior flex club (I have no idea how slow your swing was and is) so you can let the shaft do the work instead of your back.

Lengthen the shaft and your swing will suffer. I would bet you need to shorten you shaft in the near term. The strenght of the back and the resulting strain from longer shafts could be a disaster. Expect to hit the ball shorter in the immediate future it's a fact of golf.

Yoy will get more distance from the quality of contact than from pure club speed. This is true. Therefore, whatever length club you can control is the best one for you. Find a local golf professional who will give you a free club fitting and you can't go wrong.

hi im a golf pro but standing at 5ft 6 i still havent altered the length of my clubs but the lie angle was altered.if you do go ahead make sure u go to a proper pro as you'll need the swing weights altering too.good luck hope this helps

you had two vertebrae removed? thats sounds very serious. it wasn't a diskectomy (removal of vertebral discs) or a laminectomy (removal of lamina)? if you actually had vertebrae removed you should carefully check with an orthopedic surgeon to make sure it is still safe for you to make a full golf swing. good luck.

sounds like you need to get better first,then see what its like once you you hsve played a dozen times or so.Then think about it after that.

Good luck to you though. Whats your handicap ?
