Ladies Golf Clubs

Once categorized somewhere slightly below the casual male golfer and slightly above children, lady golfers were a golf-club afterthought. Ladies golf clubs were usually not more than reduced or economical versions of men’s clubs, based around some kind of pink enamel paint scheme.

With the popularity of women’s golf rising at an astounding pace, along with the popularity of LPGA stars, ladies golf clubs are getting some serious attention from brand name, and some not-so-brand-name, club manufacturers looking to cash in on this lucrative market.

For women looking to purchase their first set of ladies golf clubs, the search criteria is no different than that for a man.

Frequency of play and budget are factors to be considered when purchasing that first set of clubs. Many economical starter sets of ladies golf clubs are available, and the used club market should not be overlooked. Most pro shops take used golf clubs in for trade, and some even refurbish them before offering the clubs for resale.

Ladies looking to upgrade to a better set of golf clubs have more choices than ever. Manufacturers have invested serious dollars into research and development, studying the way women use their clubs and how they play their game. Ladies golf clubs are now built with the specific requirements of women in mind, utilizing the latest in composites and design concepts.

Since women golfers generally generate less club head speed then men, makers of ladies golf clubs are paying special attention to weight distribution in the club head. By rethinking weight positioning and utilizing materials such as tungsten, top manufacturers have developed ladies drivers that are more forgiving, by offering better control over the center of gravity, allowing for longer drives and higher loft angles.

The short game has also been given much consideration. Designing irons with a longer heel to toe length and using special composites in back edge of the ladies golf clubs, help to promote control, lift and proper backspin.

Shaft composites and grip design were the final considerations for remodeling and, matched with the rest of the club, give a solid feel to the overall piece.

Combining all of these factors makes for some top-rated ladies golf clubs and should help the average woman golfer lower her score.
