It took all of 5-10 minutes in which it was determined that I needed a standard length and lie. |
This is called a dynamic lie fitting. It is the most accurate way of determining what lie angles will best suit your swing.

That golfsmith guide is complete and utter garbage. To determine length you need to know your wrist to floor measurement. Your height has nothing to do with club length at all.
