How to Buy Ladies Golf Clubs

Women tend to be shorter than men and also have smaller hands. These characteristics call for clubs that are lighter and shorter than traditional clubs.

When buying ladies golf clubs, what to look for will depend on the type of club you need. For example, ladies woods are typically lightweight in order to maximize distance and swing speed.

Most of the time, unless a club specifies a height, a women's golf club is designed to accommodate people between 5'5" and 5'9". If you're a woman in the market for irons, you might choose utility woods instead.

Utility woods are sometimes easier to control than irons. For short-game clubs, women 5'5" and under should look for a 33-inch putter. For taller women, it's a matter of preference.
