Some fairly extreme measures here. Irons are quite long.
I'm taller than Justin and I play with a 38-1/2" 5-iron. I likely have longer arms as I have a very long torso and short legs for my height (only a 29-inch inseam at 6'4" tall).
This creates some more upright lie angles. I would say his effective 5-iron lie angle is about 61.5° which is a little upright. But, nothing super crazy. In my experience with clubfitting, particularly for myself, I believe that the lie angles should probably be fairly standard and the shaft lengths fit via Wrist-To-Floor, then the player should probably figure out how to hit the sweetspot from there instead of cheating it by adjusting the lie angle.
I'm guessing the driver is 6° open. With a length of 45-1/2" long. It's obvious Justin Rose likes the longer length clubs. While Carl Pettersson went to a much longer driver length than Justin, his driving has fell off the earth this year (which I suspected it would). However, it's hard to argue with how well Justin is driving the ball right now (#1 in Driving Effectiveness currently).
He uses 1/2" shaft increments, but does it on a 5/8" and 1/8" level instead of a 1/2" to 0/16" level.
Interesting stuff.
