   Well the main difference between the women’s and mens clubs are basically just shaft stiffness (no pun intended). The shafts on mens clubs are much more stiff because they are meant for a higher swing speed, while the womens clubs have a weaker shaft because generally they do not have large swing speeds. Now, there are exceptions like always, but generally that is the biggest difference. Also, usually the womens clubs are a little bit lighter as well to increase swing speed.

   Pro- You will hit the ball farther because you will get more recoil with the shaft.

   Cons- You can break the shaft pretty easily if you are swing 20mph over what the shaft’s rating is.
   You will lose accuracy because the shaft is so flexible that the club will struggle to stay on plane if you are swinging harder.
   It is possible to dent the face of the club as they head itself will not be as strong as a men’s club because the club head for women’s clubs tries to provide a greater bounce off of it, but it is easier to dent them.

   These are just some cons, the best advice i can give you comes in a question: Have you ever seen a good male golfer using a female club???
   Personally, I have never seen a decent male golfer using a female club, maybe a senior flex shaft (what I would recommend if you are looking for distance) but never a female club. They are meant for females, leave them that way!

   Look at a senior flex shaft, it will be much better for you in the long run.

   What you should be doing is finding a 3 wood which is compatible with the other woods which you have. If you purchase a club which has a different shaft flex, a lighter head, a different swing weight you will either find that to be your favorite club or find that it doesn’t compliment what you already own.

   It’s going to screw up your distance and accuracy. The ladies club is shorter, has a smaller grip, and a more flexible shaft than a man’s club. If you have a slow swing speed, it might not hurt as much. You should also be able to grip a club and barely have your fingertips touching your palm. The grip will probably be too small.

   The real answer to distance problems is improving fitness and flexibility. If you focus at least on flexibility, then you will find that a ladies golf club will feel like you are hitting the golf ball with a rope.

   Go to a club fitter ($50 very well spent) and find out what shaft flex is best for you. A senior flex may be right for you, but the ladies club heads and pink shafts should be left on the rack.
