TBone 0 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I am looking to buy a setup to measure club length (driver, irons, putters etc.). I build clubs and modify off the rack clubs too. I have a good swingweight scale now, and want to have a more consistent setup for club length. Currently I use a board, with a piece of wood on it mounted at 60 degrees to the centre line which I measure along (sort of inline with the USGA method I guess), it works well enough, but I'm wondering about maybe getting a more "professional" setup. I am looking at, The Mitchell setup, http://www.mitchellgolf.com/products/CLUBLENGTH_Ruler_Measuring_Tool_Kit-288-47.html and the Maltby setup, http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_MA2010_A_cn_E_10026, they are both in the $130 can (ya, I live in canada) Looking for suggestions on other options, styles, experience with either of these brands etc. Thoughts ? comments ?

JBones 1,235 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I use the cheap 48" ruler from GolfWorks and its never let me down. I just finished building a set and took them to my friends shop to measure on one of his tools like you posted above, every club was spot on. http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_RUL48 Quote Follow @GolfspyBones Link to post Share on other sites

Justin66 2 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Really you have what you need. The Mitchell Plate Ruler is set at 59*; it's accurate enough for every club in the bag. Your setup sounds similar enough that it wouldn't be an issue, so long as the ruler/tape measurer is situated properly. Save your money and use it for stocking up grips or disposable tools like epoxy, ferrules, solvent, tape, shims, extra saw blades, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
