Vario-Fit / by kazh@mindspring.com

The method used to fit clubs for taller folk is to make every club a bit longer (as shown by the various dotted lines on the graphic above). Not knowing any better, common sense says to just vary the lengths of short irons as needed to accommodate any extra height in the player. Coined it Vario-Fit (ting). The longer clubs stay standard length to keep them easier to hit and the whole recipe simpler to implement.

So, decided to Vario-Fit myself (how I'm gonna cut them is another matter). Picked the shortest club I felt comfortable with and not scrunched (9 iron, or the hinge club), and made all the clubs shorter than that the same length as the hinge club. Kinda semi-DeChambeau. Plotted out, the new specifications look like this compared to the Eye-2s and the properly fitted G30s:

Given how the clubs are mass produced, there's still gonna be an issue with the pitching wedge down to lob wedge as those heads are manufactured too heavy for a longer than "standard" shaft length, so they'll still have the lumberjack heavy swing weight problem.

One step at a time...
