Thanks for the good video. I have always measured my shaft length by having the head's score lines parallel to the adjustable base of my good old Golf Smith Measuring Tool, as you did with your measuring device and the Callaway driver head. I don't like the 60-degree method, as it results in deviating fractionally from the 1/2" per club increments recommended by the shaft companies. Not much of a biggie either way, but I chose one method and have stuck with it.
Welcome back to Sunny Ohio. Very informative content. I have the standard ruler that brings in way too much human element. I am looking forward to my fitting.
Very informative.. I have the standard Golfworks 48 in. Metal ruler like the one you have. Too much human element in it. Depending on what angle you place the ruler against the wall, the length changes. Like that putter ruler. Laying it down horizontally using that plate at 60 deg. Is the best way.
I have the horizontal one to measure length. Used a lie angle gage to set the 60 degrees. One question, I see differing lie angle numbers in the specs of irons. Does that need to be accounted for or is 60 degrees a standard to go with? Great informative video.
That's the real question, In the video we talk about linear change or measuring on the same plane each time. Golf clubs are made to have differing lie angles to make of for the change in length of the club. How we measure them albeit via the 60 plane or each lie angle is the choice we make.
Great video as always. One question about how how lie angles effects play length after the club has already been cut to length and built. Say that I'm building a 6 iron with a lie of 62. I want the club to be at 60 when I'm done building it. If I'm using the linear method, should I set the plane to 62 to match the head in its current state, or 60 to match what we want at the final measurement? I know it'll be a small adjustment after bending to 60, but if it's up to 1/4" off, that can be a huge deal for players. Appreciate the info and time!
Mike, Lie angle and length are interwoven, however one does not adjust to the other. Meaning, if you need a 60 lie angle at a particular length then make it the proper length then bend the iron to match the determined lie angle at the proper length
Hi Jim...what do you do when you cut a shaft and have to account for the top of the grip to end at the desired length? Do you measure the length inside the grip and compare it to the full length grip and the difference what else you cut off the shaft? Thank you and keep up the videos
I tend to cut the shaft to the length because the grip cap thickness change in each model. If I were to use a particular model then I could take account of the thickness
Another great video! I just purchased the same measuring bench top ruler. Why do you like the accumade ruler? So do you build to the 60 degree USGA rule when measuring or do you use another method ie. the score line gauge? Thank you for all the great content have a wonderful evening.
Paul Rhodes I started with the linear measuring, meaning the accurate style where each club is measure in then playing position. It made sense to me at the time. The 60 Des measuring is so close I didn’t think to much of changing however, if one wanted to be usga compliant I would suggest the other ruler
Perfect so when you use the angle gauge to set the plate you only go to 30 degrees I have always thought it was 60. Thanks again for the help love the channel. Have a wonderful night.
I'm trying to fit me some irons, got a sleeve of 36, wrist to floor of 32.5 reach of 30 working my 5irn and so far I'm at 37.1/4 down from 37.5 but some of my best hits are almost still choked to 36.75 do you think I should head on to 37 straight up? plus what's your take on the 3inch rule for irons from your longest to short.
KING SHARK sounds like 37:25 is the length so you can choke down if needed. I am not familiar with the 3” rule but if one was to start a 38” 5 iron and end at. 35” LW it would make sense
McGolf Custom Clubs .. ok, thanks for the reply. trying to learn how to set up some magic wands, a good swing is something everyone has, the next level to separate is learning what you know. I don't just want to know how to drive the race car, but work on it too. just did my first club head removal and reattach.
I looked them up. I like thee idea of a consistent circumference, This is not the first time that has been presented but they are using a new method to make the shaft.
I believe rapport or even aldila claimed concentricity one was filament wound and aldila uses multiple smaller layers however I cannot say if either claim it know. but 800 for a shaft is for those not faint of heart
McGolf Custom Clubs ... haaahaaaa😂😂😂 right, not faint of heart and got it to blow, but I get it, a high end market. they have 3 tour wins this year, 2 with Justin rose and one with Jason day, .. they keep that up, and they can keep a headlock on their pricing.

Thank you..."there is no real standard" is something I tell my buddies all the time. Now I'm sending them this video. Much appreciated

I like your hat. Never knew the standards were missing.

Thanks man , clarifies situation very well, God bless.

Are playing length and shaft length 2 different things?

I use the score line gauge, at the time it seemed the best method because it matched the golf clubs changes
Looking forward to that Fitting Friday, Jim🙂
I went through 12-15 tapes re “club length” before I found this one that cogently explained and demonstrated the msmt process. Great job!
Nice hat!

macc man, have you heard of the "tpt" shafts? if so, what's your take and if not, check them out and let us know.
I looked them up. I like thee idea of a consistent circumference, This is not the first time that has been presented but they are using a new method to make the shaft.
McGolf Custom Clubs ... hmmm I'll have to research who presented it before and at a better price point , lol.... tpt is 800.00 shaft at the moment.
I believe rapport or even aldila claimed concentricity one was filament wound and aldila uses multiple smaller layers however I cannot say if either claim it know. but 800 for a shaft is for those not faint of heart

The last 10 seconds... hahaha.
