You need longer than standard length. The only way to find out what you base measurement should be is get the mesurement of the distance from your wrist joint to the floor.

ok so could this be a reason why i'm struggling at times on the course with being consistant?
and i'm kind of curious, you know how much money something like this runs?

I don't know how much it costs to be fitted. You should be able to take your irons in to a Pro and have them fit and reshafted/extended to meet your needs.
I would think that a good shop would roll the cost of fitting into the reshafting price...something around $150-200 depending on the grips you choose would be a ballpark...
Probably best to get a club fitter to fit you however, If your concerned about the cash go to Pings web site and run through their static fitting process. It'll at least give you the how much over standard you'd need as far as length goes, would also put you in the ball park for lie angles. Then if you wanted to trust those and are in anyway mechanically inclined you could buy some shaft extensions and epoxy and lengthen them yourself. Probably cost you about 50 bucks for Epoxy, extensions and then new grips. The lie angles would need to be bent or adjusted at a shop though. I did mine this way. I'm 6'2" and play 1/2 inch longer shafts and 3 degrees upright lie angles. Just another option for you.
Fitting clublength is not a function of how tall someone is. It begins with a wrist-to-floor measurement and then tweaked with the golfers ability to hit the sweet spot of the iron the majority of time. The next step is to adjust the lies accordingly.
