I like shorter drivers, but I just don't agree the're for everyone. I watch Jeff Hull (he didn't know I was watching) give a driver fitting one day. The guy, a hack, ended up in like a 47" driver. I know Jeff knows more than me.

Some people control a longer shaft better than a shorter one. Why? Ask Jeff.

I have only fit a few drivers of that length and usually because they simply hit it better. Most of the time it is to get the player in better posture or to allow them to make a better pivot.

An important point to remember here is that stereotypes for anyone is a bad road to travel. I have been guilty of it in the past and I hope to never do it again. The ball does not know who or what is hitting it. It only knows where it is told to go. The Teacher, The Student, and the ball should determine the correct fit for that player.
