Womens Golf Clubs

Buying the best golf clubs for women

For years the woman golfer has been abandoned to fend for herself. If she did go onto the course, many times it was with a man's set of clubs. The times have changed. Women are seeing the need for a set of clubs designed especially for them. The manufacturers are seeing this need as well.

There are many differences between the men's and women's clubs. The weight and length are two of them. Clubs are designed now with lighter heads. The shafts are shorter. Women have been able to find golf clubs that are comfortable to play with.

There are many different manufacturers of women's golf clubs. Each one styled to be pleasing to the eye. The slim, colorful designs are made for easy handling and a better game. Some of the clubs are very lightweight. This allows the woman golfer to get a better swing in her game. The shorter clubs allow her to have more control of her game.

Many clubs are manufactured for the woman with a height of 5'5” to 5'9”. There are many female golfers who could not comfortably fit this set of clubs. The reason is because they are shorter. There are certain manufacturers who have recognized this problem and addressed it. Now the woman golfer can find clubs designed for someone of a shorter stature. Generally, when the height is not specified, you know the club was designed for the taller golfer, usually between 5'5” to 5'9”.

The woods are now being made in lighter weights. This allows the woman golfer to have a faster swing. She will also achieve more distance on her drive. With a lighter club, she can feel more secure in her game. Women who have their own clubs are more confident on the course. They feel comfortable knowing they are playing with a set of golf clubs designed for them.

When buying womens golf clubs, the irons can be troublesome. If you can find the lightweight irons, this is a good thing. They give the woman a better swing. The club is also much easier to control. More and more of the women golfers are shying away from the irons in favor of the woods. The utility woods seem to be easier to hit. The hits are more consistent with the 7 wood or the 9 wood. There are many women golfers who have replaced their irons altogether and opted for the woods. You will see many women with a set of woods in their bags instead of the standard golf set. The 3 iron and the 4 iron are being replaced with the 7 wood and the 9 wood. The result of these changes are greater distance and more accurate shots. The ball coming off a wood seems to go straighter.

For the short game, the woman golfer should find clubs which are lightweight. Again this is for easier handling. The shorter clubs are also more comfortable to handle. The wedge is designed and sold by the degree of the loft. The woman golfer will have to choose her own personal preference with these clubs. When it comes to the putter, the feel must be right. When choosing a putter, the height of the woman golfer must be considered. Any woman under 5'5” should feel comfortable with the putter which measures 33 inches. For someone taller, it is suggested that personal preference determines the length.

It is not hard to buy a good set womens golf clubs. Most of the time it will boil down to a personal preference. It is important to remember many manufacturers have now developed a line of clubs just for the woman golfer.
