?'s on womern's clubs

[scooterguitar]

So, my wife wants to "try" and play golf...GREAT!
How much do woemn's clubs differ from men's? Shorter, lighter, prettier, etc?
She wants a super cheapo set to see if she likes it, I'd prefer to get her a mid-line decent set. Now thinking I'll just score a set of decent men's irons if they are alright for women?
Any suggestions on which way to go? I sure don't want her to get the total package el cheapos for $199

I bought my wife one of the Adams 'package deals.' Clubs, putter, bag. Think it was closer to $300, though. They'll last her a good long time.

Difference? Grips are thinner, shafts are really whippy (and lighter), heads are lighter, clubs are a bit shorter.

Something I'd recommend is a really large head driver. Probably was the easiest club in the bag for my wife to hit out of the gate. How can you miss with a driver face the size of a cantelope?!!!

Exactly, lighter shorter, prettier. Go with a package. Adams seems like a good deal without going the Walmart route.

Definitely get her some women specific clubs. There's a world of difference between them and a men's standard set.

I built a set of Snake Eyes Viper W's for my wife. She loves them. They look good, are easy to hit, and very woman specific. (15* driver, 20* 5w, 6,7,8,9,PW, SW, putter - I want to add a hybrid for her to make up the difference between the 5w and 6 iron, but right now it's not a priority) I let her choose the golf bag that made her happiest. She settled on a nice Nike bag, it was the most comfy for her to tote.

I also looked at complete sets for her from Adams, Ping, Callaway and Prince. The Vipers were the best deal for us, some assembly required (which I enjoy anyhow)

Alrighty, think we're going to look today. I hope she'll be able to carry her and mine bags:>)

I just ordered my wife a set of Ladies Wilson Pro Staff Ladies from TGW.com - $299 to upgrade her old Spaldings. The only thing not included is the bag, but I bought her a new bag last year for Christmas.

It was between those and Top Flite XL Ladies set.

After my experience with Wilson brand and a strong response here for the Wilson's, I pulled the trigger yesterday. The Ladies Pro Staff are all graphite shafts.

I agree with you that getting a mid-line set is better than getting the cheapest set you can find.

Best of luck!

Bought my wife a cheap set on ebay ($72 shipped) but I figured if she didnt like it I wouldnt be out a lot of money and I figured it would be harder to sell used left handers if she didnt like it
if she likes it I can slowly upgrade her

My local shop has the complete setup of Square Two, $50 less than all the big retailers.
Anyone know anything about that co?

When we were shopping for my gf it seemed like everything in stores was walmart crap of 700 bucks for a set of irons. We ended up with a set of nice Cleveland TA-6W irons that were marked down from $500 to $250. Then we got her an Adams A3OS driver, Nickent hybrid and Odyssey white hot putter and Nike stand bag for about another 350 bucks.
