prefer examples of what old club you used and your new one
I would be looking at the shaft more so than the club as it determines the performance at varying swing speeds. You should look for lady senior clubs which have the appropriate shafts. Good luck
I’ve played golf on and off for about 15 years. The last set of golf clubs I had were a junior set from when I was about 14. At 28, am seriously going to get back into it but now at a lofty 5′11” I’m at a loss at to which golf clubs to buy? Men’s or ladies? My initial reaction due to my height is to buy men’s clubs but I’m not sure if that is right – Any advice anyone?
(Not looking to spend a fortune enough to have a set of clubs to use at the weekend/driving range).
Here’s the rub, if you will- the men’s clubs will have stiffer shafts because men (typically, but not always) have faster swing speeds than women (for those reading take a moment and make your funny joke…go ahead). Plus, the grips are typically made for a man’s hand (and men ‘typically’ have bigger hands than women).
What you ‘may’ want to look at which could be a good option would be "Senior" flex shafts (since Seniors typically have slower swing speeds than a regular ‘R’ flex used by most men); then you’d just need to have the clubs regripped to fit your hands (usually they’d use less tape, any pro/repair shop should be able to help you with this).
I’m not a certified PGA Professional, but a suggestion would be to look at a Senior flex shaft in graphite as a possible option that won’t kill you financially.
Hope you find what you’re looking for!
They say that “they want to ‘help their players’ develpment’ both on and off the course.
Are you kidding me?
This is golf we’re talking about right?
LADIES golf to boot! Remember what Golf stands for?: Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.
Boy this post-9/11 nationalism is running its course into all levels of frivility. I can imagine all of the blond hair and blue eyes at the LPGA offices at their little meeting:
“Hey, we should have everyone speak American, since we ARE in America”
“You know what, I think that’s a great idea; it’ll be good for the troops watching in Iraq!”
Give me a break. Do you agree with their new decision?
Any player uttering any other words in any other language will be suspended for 2 years.
This rule is unfair and the LPGA is going to lose in court on this one. Since when has golf been about speaking english. Players should be judged on their play only. No other sport has an English speaking rule, these players are not applying for a passport or citizenship they are just playing golf.
I have a set given to me but i have no idea how to tell who they are for.
The only difference is the flex of the shaft, look on the shaft and it will tell you if it is ladies or mens.
It’s just ladies golf instead of mens golf . Golf has the same rules for men and women just like basketball has the same rules for men and women nothing to worry about now.
