The technician, at the end of the session performed a static measure from my hand down to the floor and claimed I needed 1/2" longer shafts.

I re-visit him Thursday to test and set the lie angles. I'll see. I believe they consider you for longer shafts when the length from your wrist to the floor exceeds 35 inches. I was measured at 36-1/2" and was fitted with clubs 1/2" longer than normal and standard lie angles.
