Is there a big diff in heads? I thought the diff was just in shafts?

Mens heads tend to be larger than a womans. And as far as shafts, I didnt know women had shafts.

Ah, sarcasm. Gotta Love it. To get to the real truth of the point. There are three things that are different. Length, Shaft Flex, and grip size. Shafts are usually an inch shorter, flex is softer to get more distance, grip is like 3/64 of an inch smaller I think, could be more. I think those are the only real differences between the two. Heads wouldnt have much of an effect because the balls are the same size.

there was an r7 head on ebay. looked good at a good price. they said it was a woman's head. so the only diff is size? I'd rather have the 425cc anyway.

Usually the womens clubs have higher lofts as well, at slower swing speeds they need the higher launch and more spin to get enough distance. Head weights are usually lighter also, but if this is a moveable weight club you could adjust that.

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂 
    • Day 316 - 2025-08-13 Mental rehearsals today for about 15 minutes as I'm kinda screwed up in some way. 😞
