My reach (middle finger tip to middle finger tip with arms spread out) is 74 inches (or 6'2"), but my height is 5'9". Is that normal? I thought height and reach were typically around the same. My weight is 140 pounds, by the way.

Most people's reach is close to their height, its not like a scientific measurement guaranteed to be accurate to within a tenth of an inch or anything. If you have an issue with it sue your maker.
