I'm tall, I need longer clubs.

most specialist fitters would look to put irons into a real tall golfer that were as long as they could control (given no arm length peculiarities) after looking at height and posture at set-up and also dynamic swing action

one issue is making them the shaft length they need to be often times can make the overall club too heavy - with fits for x-tall Tour Pros they then often times look to lose club head weight in the irons as a bunch of pro's would no doubt attest to if they went on record (so far the only one I know has is Sweden's Robert Karlsson)

exceptions to everything - but as a general rule real tall guys have more upright swings - would encourage anyone who is in this 'real tall class' to look at RK swing set-up and top of swing position in 2015 after his 'eye issues' and look at what he's working on
- although one of, if not the tallest at 6' 5" he uses his height with great posture (Stenson too) if you check out the spine angle to legs etc and top position with lead arm little ways more upright to shoulder plane
although he is tall and swing is more 'upright' he is still short of shaft parallel at the top

given the height with the big arc one thing to consider it takes longer to get back to the ball as bigger distance to travel so it's definitely better, my take, not to swing past parallel or maybes even to parallel at the top
if anyone tries the above out this the top position if looking back on a dtl vid will 'appear' to be laid off - but it isn't

if a real tall guy has too much spine angle lean at set-up it can cause a bunch of issues with also balance and take back off the ball and also importantly too, plane - which in turn will give strike contact issues

would encourage anyone who fits into the above 6' 2" (maybes even 6', 6' 1") if they have strike/plane issues to search out Robert Karlsson dtl of 2015 and look at posture set-up top of swing position also Stenson set-up look at the angles of the spine from the hip sockets in relation to leg angles how the balance looks grounded through the laces at set-up
