My wife has been playing for a few years and we golf at least 2 rounds a month together ( live on a private course ) She has a set of very old hand me downs , no name blade style steel shaft ..... Junk I was in golf galaxy and the have a smoking deal on a set of womens graphite shaft taylor made burner plus with a 3 and 4 hybrid for $399. The online price for the set is $799 and the same set in mens is $699 The burner plus and burner hybrid club heads are the same as the mens, the difference is the womens flex shaft which I think would benefit her. My concern with getting her this set without being fit is the shaft lengths. She is 5' 10" If anybody has any experience with fitting womens clubs, I would appreciate the advise. Is it worth the $400 gamble that they are the correct length ? Or do you think she would be better off in a mens length ? For comparison, the womens 6i is 37" and the mens is 37 3/4" in the Taylor Made Burner Plus clubs.

When a company makes a club in the USA I will proudly display their brand here. All of mine were made in china by somebody making $2 a day. Shame on you Mr club manufacture.

I am a 5'9" man. I play a 37" 6 iron. That is 1/2" short of Titleist 'standard'.

The 1/2" in length moved my ball contact from the right center of the sweet spot to the middle.

Club length is obviously one of the biggest factors in a proper fitting, and is KEY to consistent set-up position and ball contact.

driver: FT-i tlcg 9.5˚ (Matrix Ozik XCONN Stiff)
4 wood: G10 (ProLaunch Red FW stiff)
3 -PW: :Titleist: 695 mb (Rifle flighted 6.0)
wedges:, 52˚, 56˚, 60˚
putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5

Why not give her a card that says "I will get you a new set of irons, up to $X.  Irons that we can get for this price include A B and C.  Let's go get you properly fit so you can make the most of these!"

When a gift requires a personalization of some sort, such as getting golf clubs, I think it's better to promise the gift and then take them for the fitting.  Plus, if there is a similarly priced set that she'd prefer, you can get her that instead.

If the deal expires before Christmas, tell her [i]now[/i] it's what you're getting her, hop in the car with her, and go get 'em!

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Tour Edge Exotics C723 21 degree hybrid.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

Thanks for the input , talked to her about and we are going to pay GG for a fitting and then have a custom set built. Gonna take a pass on the women burners as I think theynare going to be to short for her. Doing some research and it sounds like having hireko golf build a custom set of their xp905 womens clubs with Acer graphite shaft and pink Winn grips may be the ticket....lol 6,7,8,9 iron P,& SW 4, 5 hybrid 3 wood Ti driver Pink cart bag http://www.hirekogolf.com/hireko/orderportal/catalog_presentation/by_group/0/730/0/0/0/0/0 For around $500 sounds like the smokin deal

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
