It’s crucial that you verify the accuracy of the player’s height and wrist-to-fl oor measurement, as both<br />

are key to determining proper club length. Additionally, you may want to take into account the player’s<br />

clubface impact pattern. Determine the impact pattern by positioning iron impact tape on the face of the<br />

6-iron and having the player hit fi ve or six shots. Observe the impact locations and refer to the chart below<br />

for recommendations.<br />

Consider a shorter length; consider<br />

replacing long irons with Rescue<br />

clubs.<br />

Try shorter length irons; have the<br />

player stand farther from the ball.<br />

No change necessary.<br />

Try longer length irons; have the<br />

player stand closer to the ball.<br />

NOTE: If the player demonstrates consistent impact toward either the toe or heel, it could be the effect of<br />

playing irons with an improper lie angle for a long period.<br />
