Fitting a Beginner?

Well if you're 6'5" and playing clubs for a "standard" player, then you might develop a weird hunched over style. Conversely, if you're short (like me at 5'2") and you're using clubs too tall, you can also get into bad habits, like pulling in.

I think a static fitting - making sure the length and lie are what you need - would give you plenty of confidence. Develop your swing, and then start getting into the nitty gritty bits.

But I'm a noob too, so take what I say with a grain of salt!

Well for a noob, I think you did pretty well! Also, many if not most professional golf instructors are quite capable of performing a static fitting, so I wouldn't want '8' to think this has to be an either-or proposition. Finding a local instructor who works with a lot of beginners, and can perform a static fitting is a good set of criteria to use to begin finding someone who can help you with your game.
