what is correct length for ladies driver shaft

[Laka]

My wife is struggling with her driver, its custom fit build.

her length is 161 cm , mine is 180 cm.

when i measured our driver shaft its only differ 1 cm.

her shaft is 104 cm , mine is 105 cm.

is her shaft length correct? where can i found a table telling me suitable drivershaft length for a person of 161 cm length...

sorry cant the inch system only metric

your shaft is very short (at under 42") rather than her's being obviously long.

I'm 180cm tall and use 116cm driver shafts

well the measurment is from the the beginning of the ferralugh on the driver head (or what is called), my shaft is standard length, sorry for the confusions in lenght measurment

Shaft length always usually measured from bottom of the drivers sole plate to top of grip. so say a 45" quite often a normal-ish mens length is 114.30 cms.

Longer shaft obviously has the ability to generate more speed, but only if you can control the length to swing through the ball consistently with contact at center face.

If possible would be worth getting back to where the club was fitted, & talking to them over the issues, & getting it cut down a little very probably would help, as the length it currently isn't obviously isn't that controllable.
Or any PGA Pro near to you could help in that way.

All my clubs have been fitted at 1" shorter than standard (men's clubs) and I'm 5'5" - if that is any use!

Just checked some ladies clubs in the garage. No woods only irons but they are the same length as men's clubs. When I checked them like for like with mine. Whether this applies to woods as well I don't know.

It's not always how tall you are, a lot will depend on the arm length (wrist to floor).

well, last evening, we went to our club shop and they cut the shaft 1 inch.. she did test afterwards and was positive to the change in shaftlength

This is à Picasso before "cutting" off some shaftlength

I would suggest a club that reaches all the way to the ball
