With that said, most male golfers are playing with drivers that measure 45 to 48 inches (although incredibly long, 48 inches is the maximum length allowed under the USGAâs Rules of Golf). It may seem surprising but the average driver length on the PGA TOUR is slightly less, at 44.5 inches.
Place your club on the ground with the blade in a position to strike the ball if you were about to swing it. Measure the length of the club from the hosel (where the blade meets the shaft) to the top of the club. This is how golf club manufacturers measure clubs. Step 2. Check to see if the club fits your swing. If you are on the short side, you can reach the ball if you stand far enough away, but you are using a club that is too long. If you feel you are reaching for the ball, you need a shorter club. Place the club at a 60-degree angle and measure it from the top of the grip to the bottom of the blade. This is how the United States Golf Association (USGA) measures a club. The USGA measurements have been standard for decades, even though golfers have not held their clubs at a 60-degree angle for many years.
