How Ladies Golf Clubs Differ to a Mans Golf Club

Do Ladies Golf Clubs differ to men’s golf clubs? The answer in many cases is yes and no. You can find womens Golf Clubs where the shafts are shorter and because the shafts are shorter the golf club heads are heavier, but the same goes for men clubs. If you have a five foot male and a five foot female and they both weigh a hundred pounds then they will both need the same type of golf clubs.

A lot of people will state that womens golf clubs are shorter and heavier that a males counter part. A golf club with a shorter shaft will have a heavier head and therefore be heavier than a golf club with a longer shaft, this is because of balance. Golf club manufacturers have to decide on what they consider the optimum design of a golf club will be. They have to take into account the physics involved in a golf swing which has to incorporate the weight, length, balance, inertia and resistance of the golf club.

Most major manufacturers of golf clubs make golf clubs specifically designed for women. However most women that play regularly and have small handicaps will use the same clubs men use and like their male counter parts will have those clubs specifically set up for them.

The setting up of golf clubs for women is exactly the same as setting up golf clubs for men. It’s a bit like having an off the peg suit fitted. Because everyone is unique in their height, stature, posture and the way they swing a golf club, golf specialists can configure a golf club to suit the way you swing a golf club.

To make a good shot the golf club head has to hit the golf ball in a particular manner. If the golf club face is open the ball will be sliced and veer to the right. If the golf club face is closed it will do the opposite and veer to the left. Being fitted means that they will alter the way the golf head is fitted to the shaft which will give you the best chance of hitting the golf ball correctly time after time. The same fitting process is available for male and female players using the same type and make of golf clubs.
