Its up to you, you would be best getting them custom fit if you are willing to spend a bit of money, but off the rack should be fine if you are on a bit of a budget. go to a shop and try some clubs out but for the 3 wood 15 or 15.5 degree and a regular, flexgraphite shaft. for the hybrid try some different ones out at a shop, but again if you can get custom fit do that but if not then regular flex graphite shaft. It depends what you want the hybrid for 18 degree is about a 1 iron 19 degree is 1 or 2 iron 20 is 2 or 3 21 is 3 iron 22 is 4iron 24 is 5 iron 25 is 6 iron

Wrong question. Its not the "kind " oof golf clubs, its the length. Go to any golf store (Golf Galaxy, D icks, Golfsmith, etc.) they will measure you and tell you what the correct length is. Minus an inch,, minus 2 inches, Plus 2 inches to a junior set, whatever. And height isn't the determining factor either. They take into account arm length, angle of set up, etc.

Go to your local golf store and ask the clerk all he needs to know

Buy standard length first, then determine later if you need to have them adjusted.
