considerably from one manufacturer to the next as the head weight dictate the final length.

It is possible to go to several different club fitters and get completely different results. For example, a certified Ping clubfitter may suggest that you use a 2° upright iron. Titleist might recommend 3° upright, while a local independent clubfitter may recommend 1° upright. At first a consumer may be confused, but they need to know what the so-called standard lies of each of these models are to begin with. These very well might end up with the same result (i.e. 64° #6-iron).

While lacking standards among golf clubs, you as a custom clubmaker, take all of the variables out of a set when you custom fit and assemble a set. Lengths, lofts and lies can be changed to fit the player. Custom clubmaking eliminates the concern for standards, creating a best fit club or clubs to the individual without the huge concern with club standards.
