Enter your height, and your wrist-to-floor measurement if you can.
How it's worked out
Club length is read from a fitting chart with two measurements: your height, and your wrist-to-floor, from the crease of your wrist to the floor in shoes, with your arms hanging relaxed. Wrist to floor leads, because it's what fitters use: two golfers the same height can have very different arm lengths.
The chart gives a change from standard length for the whole set, driver to wedges: from an inch shorter, through standard, to an inch longer. It's Grips4Less's chart, which credits Hireko's fitting guide. If you're on the line between two rows, it says to go shorter, because a club you strike from the middle of the face does better than a longer one struck off the heel.
It's a starting point. A fitter will also check your lie angle on a lie board or launch monitor, since length and lie change together.

5 ft 10 with long arms
A golfer 5 ft 10 (178 cm) would read standard length from height alone. With a wrist-to-floor of 33 inches (84 cm), longer arms than usual for that height, the chart says a quarter to half an inch shorter.
Questions
How do I measure wrist to floor?
Stand on a hard floor in your normal shoes, arms hanging relaxed at your sides, and have someone measure from the crease of your wrist to the floor.
What does standard length mean?
The length a maker builds its clubs to off the shelf. It varies a little between makers and models, so the chart gives a change from standard rather than a fixed figure.
What changes when a club is longer or shorter?
Longer clubs feel heavier in the head and sit more upright, so a fitter often adjusts the lie with the length. Shorter clubs are usually easier to strike from the middle of the face.
Does this apply to my putter?
No. Putter length is set by how you stand over the ball, not by this chart.
