I think it is quite obvious why women canīt hit as far as men...
The not so obvious question would be, why donīt they putt as well as men? This one isnīt so simple to answer... Titleist 983K 9.5š with Aldila nv-65 stiff Old Big Bertha woods 3 & 5 Ping i3 O-size 3-PW+GW with KBS 90 Tour Reg Cally X-forged 58š Odissey 2-ball (hey, it works !!) |

I followed Gustaphson around for a while at Torrey recently and she hits the ball hard, very hard. She cut the corner on a par 4 that you could only consider doing if you have great confidence in your length and accuracy. I don't even t h i n k about doing that on that hole. I recommend that readers go to a LPGA event sometime, you'll get an education in how some women can play golf. But yes, most men hit the ball somewhat farther than most women do. Partly I think due to the TYPE of muscle (fast-twitch vs red, i.e. mitochondrial content - that type of thing). Women tend to have more endurance per pound of muscle, men more speed of contraction ("explosivity"). Caveat: I'm not a physiologist, and I've never stayed at the Lodge at Torrey Pines ..... 3,5 Woods: Taylor stiff Hybrid: Nike 18 stiff Irons:5-9, Mizuno MP30, steel Wedges: PW, 52, 56, 60, Mizuno MP30 Putter: Four-Ball [2-ball knock-off] |
