In our forums, our members have been discussing driver length. WRXer ‘Smithy23’ is curious to find out what length of driver fellow members and Tour pros prefer, with WRXers sharing their setup in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- benclab: “Mine is 45 inches long. I’ve been playing that length since the R7. Tour average last I saw was 45.5. That was from 2 different tour reps.”
- bryan2milburn: “I typically play 44-44.5″ with heavier head weight for swing weight purposes. After messing with a 45″ driver the last year, I can say with 100% certainty that, for me, a shorter driver results in much more consistency, comfortability, and overall better play with minimal, if any, loss of distance. For my buddies who are newer to the game or who want to improve, that’s one of my first recommendations, and I’ve had multiple friends convert and say the same thing. I will never go back to 45″+ drivers.”
- StrokerAce: “Amazed at what half an inch to an inch will do when you look at how little it is but 44 to 44.5 always help me find the center of the face consistently for some reason. tried 45/46 and just was all over the place.”
- NoTalentLefty: “Played most of my drivers at 44.25 and below since the start of the 460 head drivers. Couldn’t hit anything else. But I recently went to a Ping G425 Max with a 45.75-inch shaft, and it works great. Had to change shaft though to a Project X Evenflow Blue 5.5 shaft for accuracy.”
