I'm looking for ladies' super game improvement sets.
Adams Idea a7OS sets seem to have good reviews. What do you think about this set (650$) EDIT: you have to click 'specs' to see the detailed info
Or do you think this set would be better (same price).
I'm leaning toward the first option, although I'm a bit worried about the 44*PW-54*SW gap - but I guess I could just get a 50* gap wedge. The second set seems to have way too many woods and the gap still remains.
Or do you think it's just not a good idea to buy integrated sets (although I like the idea of skipping the hassle of days of choosing, searching, placing multiple orders and, in the end, paying a higher price )

10* gap won't affect you that much.

My cobra PW is 45* and the SW was 55* and I didn't find much of a distance gap.

Unless you hit the ball far (140 yard PW) you won't notice much of a difference.

My Clubs
Driver - LV4 10* R flex
Wood - sam snead persimmon 2 wood (for windy days)
Hybrid burner tour launch 20* stiff flex.
Irons - Tour Mode 3i,4i stiffIrons - FP's 5-PW R-flexWedge - spin milled 54.14Wedge - spin milled 60.07Putter - Victoria Lowest round 2010: 79 (par 70)Latest rounds at...

I just got my wife the Adams A7OS, short set and she really likes it. It is an 8 piece set with woods, irons and putter that basically skips every other club. You can pick up the missing clubs as need. It is a less expensive way to start for decent SGI clubs.

How about the callaway solitaire set because callaway make good beginners clubs and these must be the first of the really big brands package sets

I don't have any experience with the integrated sets. But, I am in a similar situation wanting to piece together a set for my fiance.

There is a nice set of TaylorMade LCG graphite irons (women's set) w/SW in the marketplace right now, for a good price. My thought is to start with a similar set and find a nice used set of women's woods, putter, etc.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x

I have a set of Women's Tommy Armours listed in the For Sale section. It comes with Driver, 3 Wood, 5-PW, and putter for $125.00 shipped. You might consider them as a cheap way to get her started and make sure she's going to stick with it.

I am in the market for a set of clubs for my wife as well. She's only 4'11" so she could probably get away with a set of kids clubs. Any suggestions?

Oh, that's good :)

That's the exact same set except it's stripped down (7 clubs instead of 14 clubs), I've considered this one, too. However, you can get it for 400-450$ so 200$ more is not that much for twice as many clubs. Would you recommend the A7OS set or would you choose something else if you had the chance?

She's already had a 2-month test-period and she's pretty sure she's going to stick with it, that's why we decided to buy a more expensive set. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

@ET-Taylor, delav - the reason why I chose Adams is because they won women's hybrids and super game improvement irons Golf Digest Hot Lists 4 or 5 times in a row. Is the Hot List trustworthy? I mean, Callaway and TaylorMade are definitely big. I have a TaylorMade set myself. But in this case, are they better than A7OS?

mspunk13 - I'm sure the adams set is a great option. If you've got the $, I'd bet its a great balance for a beginner.

OK, thanks! I'll settle down for the Adams set then. Now, I need to choose between those two options I described in the thread-starting post. Any advice?

Clothing manufacturers make petite women's clothes. And golf companies make petite clubs for women less than 5-foot-2 in height. My wife got one of the early Square 2 Petite sets back in 1989 or so - Nancy Lopez promoted the line, and Adams has picked it up recently.

Basically the petites start about an inch shorter in shaft than standard women's clubs. Several major club makers have petite sets now, such as Wilson Pro Staff Women's Petite and Mizuno Sora. Check out this web site link which talks about petite clubs: http://www.all-about-lady-golf-clubs...ub-petite.html

If you have a chance to hit both sets, try them out. Or, choose the one that looks the best to you. Visual appeal is important too.

The taylormade burners are good i had the 3 wood 07' and I got rid of it because I launched it too high which is a good thing because it helps you get the ball in the air

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
