Kev (Or anyone),
Fill me in on the history of measuring club length for someone. I picked up a used older Titleist fitting cart (36 six irons) for my Golf Studio - Now how they measured an appropriate length shaft was to stand upright and let your arms hang - then they have a section on the cart that notes whether you fall into the standard length or 1/2 or 1 inch long or short.
Currently, the titleist fitting website www.fittingworks.com - for iron fitting - has one determine appropriate shaft length by where you are contacting the ball on the clubface using face tape.

I know this isn't a perfect science - and there are a lot of combined factors to take into consideration. I'm just curious if anyone has some insight into whether Titleist has changed their stance on this, or do they use one or both of these factors in determining appropriate shaft length - also if anyone has feedback on how other companies fit clubs.

Thanks
