True Length Technology™ Dear friends, Have you ever wonder why most irons are built to a specification where the three iron is 39” and each club decreases in length by half an inch down through the wedges. That is unless the three iron is 38.75” and the wedges decrease in length by a quarter of an inch. And graphite shafted irons are an inch longer. Hmm... okie. So it means that we are standard as well? This is how you will address the different "conventional" clubs.
Conventional Loft & Lie As the club gets longer, the golfer changes posture, standing more erect.	Then comes the old ‘Club fitters Rulers’, a single ‘recommended length of golf club’ fit over 3 1⁄2 inches of Wrist to Floor (WTF) variations, except if you were a women, then your clubs would simply be 1 inch shorter. How much sense does that make? Someone with a 34 inch Wrist To Floor measurement is playing the same lengths as someone with a 37 inch Wrist To Floor measurement. This again is not mathematically sound. Wrist to Floor measurement
What is True Length Technology and what does it mean to you? If you picture a set of triangles and compare one at 56 and one at 57 degrees, one at 64 and one at 65 degrees, The length differential between the 56 & 57 degree angles are greater than the length differential between the 64 & 65 degree angles. Herein lays the proof that any static number like 1⁄2 inch or 1⁄4 inch variation per club is not mathematically sound. Each increment has to be progressively less than the last increment as the clubs get shorter. True Length Technology ™ clubs do vary in length. Just in less than the traditional 1⁄2 inch increment. In fact the length variance is perfect from club to club, giving one very athletic and repeatable setup position and posture for your personal setup.	The True Length Technology® system has different "series" of club length. This varies from a Series 0 to a Series 12. Each is a math model of perfect proportions for each individual series. The math behind the True Length Technology® build charts is the result your athletic address position. Not everyone addresses the ball in the same manner and therefore the target build chart is still susceptible to variation.
True Length Technology™ Loft & Lie are set to allow a single athletic address posture for all clubs.
The fitting system Each True Length Technology® fitting set has its lengths correlated with its lies - set to a perfect math model for all Series Build Charts. The golfer gets to actually swing a 4, 7 and PW that fts their math profile. When the correct Series is in the golfer's hands, instantly the golfer will know that he has found the specifications for length, and a great indication of lie. Traditional fitting methodology still does apply, where the golfer needs to go through; Wrist to floor measurements Statically fitting with a variety of clubs Dynamic fitting with a variety of clubs Hitting balls with a variety of lengths Hitting balls with impact stickers Watching ball flight Dynamic fitting procedures still apply
So does the system fits for all? Well, I believe that the only good way to prove a concept is to give a complete set of demos to a customer and let him use it on the course. When he returns and says “You can’t have these back” or takes him a good long time to return – it’s a good sign. When that happens ten, twenty or thirty times, it should mean something. So far, I'm hitting better with my long irons built to Series 6, and that it a good sign. Tom Wishon has done several endorsements for his belief in True Length Technology® "Do think seriously about incorporating Dan Connelly’s TLT fitting concepts into your length fitting. The loft change from clubhead to clubhead in the set is where the vast majority of distance difference comes between clubs, not the length increment change." Another feedback: Here is an excerpt from Ms. Nadine Foreman, a Teaching Professional from the Durham College Golf Administration Program in Oshawa Ontario, Canada. "True Length Technology has helped my game because of the confidence which I now have stepping up to every single iron in my bag. As a golf professional, I have taught the fundamentals of the game to players, and taught them that they should be swinging with the same swing each and every time. However I now realize that’s not possible, without the help of True Length Technology. Even though I might teach the ‘perfect posture’ as I see it, while my student is holding their 7 iron, they cannot possibly duplicate that stance and posture with their 3 iron. I found in my own game, that I was so comfortable standing over my 6-8 irons, however when I would get to the longer irons, I had to put so much more power into my swing, to make the result happen that I wanted to. With True Length Technology , when I step up to a wedge, 8 iron, 5 iron, or 3 iron, I get myself into my perfect posture first, and my hands are in just the right spot now without having to manipulate that club in my hands or alter my posture for the iron I’m holding. I have control and spin with my wedges, I have the ability to work the ball as I like with my long irons. I no longer have to factor in that 15 yard draw that I know my 3 iron used to produce. I can fade or draw the ball as I need to, with the rest of my shots going straight, using my comfortable swing. To me, True Length Technology has not only improved my game, it has improved my teaching ability, and the learning curve of my students. They can perfect that 7 iron posture and fundamentals, and easily transfer it to any club in their bag. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Next thing we’re working on is the putter!" Kind Regards, Nadine Forman CPGA class "A" Professional Ms. Foreman is not paid to use the system, and in fact bought her set because of True Length Technology® as claimed by Dan.
Bottom line I’m a little skeptical that True Length Technology® will be adopted by accomplished golfers. These guys have taken great pain to master the irons. I think the true value of True Length Technology® is going to be proven with players who are still learning the game and aren’t about to spend the ten thousand hours it takes to become a true master or someone trying to gain a little more consistency. Adopting True Length Technology® will never be possible with OEM clubs. Keeping the inventory of length wll be a nightmare for our friends. If you live in Singapore and would like to be a “product tester” to find out for yourself – get in touch. True Length Technology® is offered as an option and at no extra cost.
Akang datang (coming soon) The Edel and AimPoint Green-reading training took place last week. We are all geared up for it. For those who attended the workshop, we certainly hope you gained better understanding of the system. As for those who had gone through a fitting session with David Edel, please write to us what you think. We will report back on what happened during the workshop and the fitting session. So stay tuned.
Let us hear from you Please help with a response. We'll answer any questions promptly by email. It would be very helpful to understand reader reaction. Our goal is to help the most players drop the most strokes and have more fun in the game. Thanks for reading.
