Hey guys, I'm curious if any of you know the differences between the men's and women's clubs.  The reason I ask is because I'm of super short stature, and have found it difficult to find clubs that have the proper lie angle.  Toe is always sticking up in the air unless there is some extreme revisions.  For hybrids, I have been told that they can not bend the lie, so don't have any proper options.

Since women are typically shorter than men, I'd think their construction ranges are different.  I tried a women's hybrid and it did seem to lie a little flatter than the male counterpart, but unsure if this was just a placebo.

I know there are some smart people here that may know more--is this a thing?

Why haven’t you just had clubs fitted for you? Women’s clubs vary by length but more importantly their shaft properties. If you need shorter clubs they can be fit to you, length, weight, lie and shaft weight.

I believe women’s club heads may also be a different weight than men’s. This is to give them a similar feel for the shorter club length and lighter shaft. If you have decent swing speed, it may be better to get fitted with your current clubs and have them adjust length, lie and swing weight as @Vinsk suggested. If they shorten the club length, they will add tip weight to get the swing weight correct.

Thanks, appreciate the ideas.  I did have my clubs fitted/adjusted, but suspect it was not done well.  IE, they cut them down but did not adjust lie angle or adjust weight.  I went back there a couple weeks ago to get a second opinion on this, and the associate was about to instruct his team to make adjustments without even measuring anything, which is where the red flags starting going off for me.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
