Matthew,
If I recall correctly, mine are 40.5" for same wtf. Hopefully, someone will eventually confirm the exact length for you.

At your W-T-F measurement your irons would be approximately the same club length as a conventional "off the rack" #9 iron, your fairway woods approximately the same as a #7 wood, and your driver 2" to 3" shorter than a conventional driver (depending on the brand).

Hybrids were introduced to the golf industry by the major golf companies as replacements for the virtually impossible to hit long irons that they force upon you when you purchase a set of irons. In other words, it was a way for them to generate extra golf club sales. We do not offer hybrids (although our fairway woods are the length of a conventional #7 wood and have outperformed every hybrid that we have ever tested) simply because our #3 and #4 irons are as easy to hit as the PW or #9 iron within a set.

Is it 36" exactly or slightly below and rounded up? Per the fitting instructions on the "Custom Fitting" page of our website we stress that you should always err on the shorter side if you are right on or slightly below the line between whole inch increments. Bear in mind that you will shrink due to the compression of the spine over the course of the day.

At a 36"-36.9" W-T-F measurement your irons would be approximately the same club length as a conventional "off the rack" #7 iron, your fairway woods approximately the same as a conventional #6 wood, and your driver approximately 2" shorter than a conventional driver.

Thanks - pretty much dead on, but measured in the morning, and 7 iron fits with my general preference for 7 irons, so the shorter end seems sensible.
