Golf clubs are generally standard lengths. Most people 5'7" to 6'1" can use standard lengths. Taller and shorter people can benefit but getting the length to fit customized.
Each club is a different length to reflect the difference between power and control.
Today's drivers range from 43" to 46". Every club below that would be shorter
Standard golf clubs are built in 1/2” length increments throughout a set of irons and fairway woods. This means that other than the driver and putter a golfer carries twelve golf clubs having twelve different club lengths. Therefore, in order to develop your full ball striking potential you need to master twelve different swings with twelve different set-ups and ball positions at address.
The type of shaft, Ladies and men's club affect the optimal length.

properly, you're quite new, so your grip is probable no longer the comparable each and every time, the ball place won't be stunning, and the club shafts might experience a sprint stiff. you are able to prepare, prepare, prepare to advance muscle memory. it would additionally be a outstanding theory to decide for a club setting up to confirm if the golf equipment you have are equipped to you. And take a lesson to benefit the thank you to hit those long irons. The 5-iron could be greater handy to benefit. i do no longer even carry the three and four-irons. i take advantage of fairway hybrids. the driving force substitute into hard too, till I have been given a TaylorMade Burner driving force that i might desire to hit a ton. Adams additionally makes forgiving drivers and woods. I used a three-wood off the tee for an prolonged time. The decrease lofts and longer club shafts of the driving force and long irons lead them to puzzling to hit.

Go to a driving range and talk to the pro at the shop. They should be able to size the clubs for you. If you are 5'11 and using standard clubs you will be fine unless you are some kinda freak with long arms or something.

your local pro shop well be very happy to fit you with your clubs. standard procedure is to take a 5 iron which when soled allowed to set naturally on the turf gives you the truest lie. what they will do is have you stand straight with your arms resting naturally at your side, if your right handed they measure from your middle finger right hand to the ground, middle finger being the longest, from this reading you get your club length. left handed just reversed.

Your driver should be about 44.5 inches and your putter should be around 33 inches. You should feel comfortable with your clubs for best performance.

try to use them, sounds like you're a beginner anyway. If you can learn to use them, no problem.
If you're not a beginner, you can place the head on the ground and see if it's lifted in front or back. Then you'll know if they fit or not.
