Several years ago I purchased a set of clubs from a local club maker that are (I am told and they do look similar) Callaway Promotional Clubs built by a company named Bridges or WGGC, not sure which is the Brand name and which might be a club series name. Anyway these were made for an automobile dealer's golf tournament, I am assuming to be one of the winners prizes. In the set are three drivers, 1W 9.5° loft, 3W 16° loft, and what I thought until yesterday was a 5W until I realized that the loft is 22°, the same as my 7W. I am in the process of, as part of my learning to fit, make, and repairing clubs, to properly fit this set of clubs to my own specifications.

I have two questions I need help with on this set of drivers. I have a wrist to floor measurement of 33", what should be the proper length of the shaft? Second, what is the proper method of measuring the shaft length with a Callaway head which has three different surfaces angles? Do I use the narrow, approximately 1/2" middle section to measure from or the flat portion of the heal or the toe?

As for as the proper shaft length where can I find a chart that extends beyond the lengths of a 5W. If there is none then what is a good rule of thumb to follow in the progression of length verses club number?

I appreciate anyone's help on this.
