Convinced that I kept getting different web-fit recommendations from the Ping site, I tried the same measurements in the US and Eur site and sure enough the US site recommended a -0.25in shaft whereas the Eur site said Standard.

Anyone know if there's a reason for this?  Perhaps high handicappers in the US have a problems standing up straight??

Have asked Ping to clarify. Hopefully will get a response soon. ED

Thanks Bob, I've forwarded the info to see if they can make anything of it.  Obvioulsy,  I wouldn't order custom-fitted clubs just from a static fit anyway, as it sort of defeats the object somewhat, but I expect some people do.

Would 0.25" make much of a difference?

Its [probably because the 6'1 foot is really about a 5'10 to us

It is my experience ;o)
