I would never base a Stroke Pattern on the golfer's height. Tall, short or average, the mission-critical alignments -- Flat Left Wrist, Lag Pressure, and Plane Line and Angle -- remain the same.

That said, make sure you have good posture, especially your Knee Bend and Waist Bend (forward spine tilt). For this to happen, your clubs will have to be at least 1/2 inch long. Their lie angle may have to be bent a degree or two upright. Then, make sure your left wrist is Level (not Cocked) at Address. If your hands are bigger -- medium-large glove or larger -- then you probably should build your grips up a bit (an extra wrap or two of tape or select a 'mid-size' option).

All this will help.
