Thanks for info, love the purple cover. I feel like I was able to ask him in person.

What set of irons does Robert Karlsson have in play this week?
JET wrote on March 22, 2007 at 1:03PM
Robert plays with the 695MB irons (4-P). He also carries a 735.CM 2-iron and three Vokey Design wedges.

That has to be one of the coolest Scotty Cameron headcovers I have ever seen.

I would like to know the specs of Robert's clubs. The article says that he's 6'5" and his clubs are extra length. How much longer are they than standard (especially irons)? And what is their swingweight? I'm also about 6'6" and I'm looking for some input for clubfitting.
Thanks.

We recommend going to a certified FittingWorks clubfitter to get information on clubfitting. Fitting information, as well as where to find a FittingWorks clubfitter, can be found at <a href="http://www.fittingworks.com" rel="nofollow">FittingWorks.com</a>. Our research has found that custom club specs are more dependent on your swing than on your physical attributes.

I noticed that for the week of Doral Robert Karlsson had both a Titliest 907D2 and a 905R with the same style shaft. Does he get similar distance, spin and launch conditions with both types of drivers or is one of the two better for his launch and swing?

Robert is still testing his <a href="www.titleist.com/.../907D2.asp" rel="nofollow">907D2</a> driver to get all of his specs dialed in, so when the tournament started on Thursday, he once again trusted his <a href="www.titleist.com/.../905R.asp" rel="nofollow">905R</a>. The <a href="www.titleist.com/.../907D2.asp" rel="nofollow">907D2</a>, with its advanced traditional geometry, tapered face insert, low mass crown and hosel, and 8% larger face area, is designed with an enhanced MOI to provide long distance with shot workability.

Will Robert Karlsson be playing a lot on the PGA Tour in 2008? He has always been one of my favorite European players and I would love to see more of him on the PGA Tour.

Robert is still committed to playing on the European Tour full-time. Plan on seeing him, however, at all of the big events on the PGA Tour, to include the major championships and the World Golf Championships.

What length shaft does Karlsson use in his driver? I have the Grafalloy Blue X shaft also and I am 6'5" too...so I was curious.
JET wrote on September 14, 2008 at 7:09PM
Robert has a standard 45" shaft in his driver. His irons, however, are 1.5" over standard.
JET wrote on September 20, 2008 at 12:09AM
Thanks for the specs of 1.5" over standard for his irons. Curious to know what his lie angle adjustment (irons) might be, if any. Thank you.

I am 6ft 9in tall and have custom irons that are 3 inches over standard. How do I find a good putter length and driver length? Do you have any suggestions or should I get them 3 inches over as well?

Our suggestion would be to visit an <a href="www.fittingworks.com/FindaFitter.aspx" rel="nofollow">Authorized Titleist FittingWorks Partner</a> to get fitted for your clubs.

Hi, what are Robert's swingweights and lie angles? Thanks.
JET wrote on October 24, 2008 at 11:10PM
Robert's irons are 1° upright on the lie angles, with swingweights in the D-7 to D-7.5 range. Robert uses Dynamic Gold SL shafts in his irons to help keep the weight down somewhat on his overlength clubs.
JET wrote on October 28, 2008 at 11:10PM
Those specs are correct with regard to ZM irons at +1.5" and 1° upright. In terms of overlength clubs, we do use lighter weight heads when building custom irons over standard length. If you have questions about which specs may be correct for you, please be sure to consult an <a href="www.fittingworks.com/FindaFitter.aspx" rel="nofollow">Authorized Titleist FittingWorks Partner</a>.

I'm looking to add some length to my irons. I'm 6'5" and a low handicapper, but have been battling back issues. Your previous comment regarding Robert's specs would suggest a 5-iron at 39.5" (+1.5") with a lie angle of 63 degrees (1 up) using the Z Muscle specs. Is this correct? Additionally, at that length, does additional weight need to be removed from the head to achieve D7 swingweight? Especially in the shorter clubs/wedges, etc. Thanks.
Hi,
Curious to know what model shaft (make & flex) Robert was using with his 907D2?
Also, is the lie adjusted on this driver & woods to accommodate for his tall stature?
