A game of golf on a Sunday is what most people turn towards, to unwind and enjoy the morning breeze. earlier men were the only ones playing this sport, but today since women have also joined in, most golf club manufacturers have begun taking care of the needs of the women players. They do have their own needs, and preferences based on which the clubs and other golf accessories are manufactured. there have been times, when we see men and women playing a round of 18 hole game on the same course. if the women are professionals, they will definitely fare better.
Women can play with men's clubs, but in most cases, they prefer to use a club made just for them. These are made exclusively for women players and the design, style is different from that of a man's. The womens golf clubs are made to serve the same purpose, only difference is their weight or size.
What is the base material used to make the clubs? A question that every women player must ask the manufacturer before picking it up. It could be made of iron or wood, but depending on their comfort level, they must pick up the one best suited for them. Just like while buying a pair of shoes, we try on multiple pairs, here too, the lady can use the club to see how well it swings or the force with which it goes in air. This will help them take a wise decision and be comfortable while playing on the course.
Unlike in other sports, where the bat or racket used is same size as that of men's, here the golf clubs are about half an inch shorter than the ones used by men. This is because study had been conducted and found that the women who have been playing golf are shorter than their male counterparts and need clubs that allows them to bend and hit easily. This is similar to the shoe sizes found across the world, where it is believed that women have smaller feet than men. The women's clubs are made with either wood, iron or for short game, each depending on the kind of games played by them. Wood is the most commonly preferred, because not only is it lighter, but the women get better boost while hitting the ball. They carry either a 3wood, 5 or 7wood in their golf bag. If they are going to be playing regularly, it is best to pick up clubs set instead of one or two drivers alone. This way, they too can carry their golf clubs while going on holidays and play with their partner.
There are websites and companies that create customized womens golf clubs, just so more women come forward to give this game a shot. There are some who would have tried playing, but would have used their male friend or spouses clubs, which would have been heavier, making it difficult, nearly impossible to swing and hit the ball off the Tee.
