USGA standards club length 48" max at roughly 60 degrees(addressing postion, bottom of club on ground) measuring strait up
LGA standards club length is 50" max at 90 degrees toe of club on ground measuring strait up
head size cannot exceed 460cc
there is a gigantic list of clubs that Conform to legal standards
and non-conforming clubs

About all I've got is 250-260 if I just try to kill it. I don't have the club speed needed to hit the ball that far.
