Womens Golf Clubs

 

Womens golf clubs come in all shapes and sizes.  Typically, women carry the following clubs when playing: driver, irons, a putter, hybrids (utility clubs), and woods.

Drivers are used to drive low, long tee shots at holes that are far away.  They are made of various materials to suit each lady’s handicap.  Drivers made of forged titanium are costly and have a large head.  They are good for low-handicap and mid-handicap golfers.  Alloy drivers with graphite shafts are cheaper and are best for mid-handicappers and those just starting out.  Finally, stainless steel drivers have heavy, strong compact heads and are suited for low handicap golfers.

Irons are best used for difficult lies and approach shots within a couple of hundred yards from the green.  There are cavity back, cast, perimeter-weighted, and forged steel irons.  Of the four, the iron clubs made from forged steel are the toughest to use (lesser sweet spot).  When purchasing womens golf clubs, consider that the normal iron set comes with a pitching wedge and all 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-irons.  Higher numbers are appropriate for short, high shots while lower numbers are good for low, long-distance shots.

Wedges are special high-loft irons.  They are best for approach shots, pitching, chipping, bunker shots, recovery shots, and other lies where the ball needs to go high and short.  Like other clubs, there are different kinds: sand wedges, lob wedges, dual wedge, pitching wedge, gap wedge, utility wedge, and attack wedge.

The putter is one of the primary clubs used.  It is used to push the ball in from a close distance.  Have you ever seen a golf game on television and seen a dramatic shot where the ball rolls slowly towards the hole and everyone is wondering whether it will fall in or not?  If so, you’ve seen the power of the putter in action.  It’s all about precision as opposed to distance.

Hybrid womens golf clubs are often used by lady golfers to take the place of their smaller-numbered irons.  They are basically an iron and a wood club rolled into one.  They make a handy addition to any golf set.

That brings us to the final type of club—the wood club (also known as metalwoods or fairway woods).  They were originally made with wood (hence, the name).  They are now made of steel, titanium, or an alloy.  They have a long shaft and big head.  They have a higher loft to provide shallow face heights, increased ball trajectory, and large flattened soles to allow for an easy glide through the rough or the grass.  The design is to generate fast club speed and maximum distance fairway shots.  Woods clubs comes in standard, mid-sized, and oversized volumes.
