Ladies Petite Golf Sets: Should You Be Using Them?

by Sue Rainson

Perhaps you have recently taken up golf and now you find yourself needing to decide whether you should look for ladies petite golf sets or would the standard sets be better for you? You can easily compare selecting a golf club to selecting a dress. When you choose a dress your height is a determining factor in what size to select and the same thing is true for selecting clubs. You can find dresses in average, petite and tall sizes; just like golf clubs.

If your height falls between 5' 2" and 5' 8" then standard sets would be appropriate for you. However if your height measures less than 5'2" then ladies petite golf sets would be a better fit for you. For those ladies over 5'8" tall length clubs are available. These club sizes reflect typical recommendations, since no industry standard is available. Trying different clubs and sizes is the best way to find what is right for you.

For those new to golfing there is a tendency not to realize the full impact that using wrong clubs can have on your performance. Ladies golf clubs are lighter than men clubs. Having a lighter club can enable a lady to have more control over her swing.

In ladies petite golf sets you will find clubs that are one-inch shorter than those found in standard sets. This inch can have a significant impact over the control of your swing. Trying to swing a club that is too long for your body proportions can hinder your swing. Thus your performance can suffer.

When choosing a set of clubs the feel and grip of the clubs is important. It is always best to try different ones to see what feels best to you.

When beginning the process of choosing clubs your local golf pro shop is a great place to start. You can try a few of them out while there and also take time to talk with the golf pro to see what they might suggest for you.

Don't hesitate to buy a used set of clubs should you find some that are a good price and fit you well. Frequently beginner golfers use a starter set or a used set of clubs.

Golf has been steadily growing in popularity for women golfers over the past years. Responding to this growth, the manufacturers of golf products have expanded their product lines for women golfers. You can find a broad selection of golf products to fit the needs of almost anyone, which includes ladies petite golf sets.
