Ladies Drivers

My wife is new to golfing and has been using my clubs so far.  I'm trying to find her a driver that would be easier for her to hit but am unsure of what to get.  She would need and extra long shaft for sure since she's tall.  Thanks for the help.

Just because she is tall does not mean she needs an extra long shaft. Sometimes taller players will play more of a "standard" length, and sometimes a shorter player will play a longer shaft... It all depends on how they can control the length. Usually people have a harder time hitting the sweet spot with longer shafts, so you want to determine length by having her actually hitting different length shafts. Regarding loft.. If your not going to have her get dynamically fit, then I would say to get her the most lofted club you can find. The brand is not as important...Loft is what makes a big difference in a driver. Many women can have a hard time because they are using low lofted clubs, then trying to lift the ball up...which in turn makes for a weak swing.( this goes for men as well.) It's better to caution on the side of too much loft vs too little of loft. I would experiment with woods... Does she hit a 7 wood well?A 3 wood well? If so then check the loft on that club and try to find a driver with that amount of loft on it. ( just a side note... Clubs sometimes are not always what they say they are.... So get the club checked out for true loft)...a local club builder can usually do that. I would highly recommend getting her dynamically fit, if she is planning on playing a lot of golf. This way she can spend her time working on improving instead of spending her time trying to figure out how to make Ill fitted clubs "work" for her. The above advice is if you do not want her to get fit, and are just trying to find a club that's decent.
