Men playing ladies clubs

Maybe because he's got a slow swing speed, and didn't want the stock men's 46.5" shaft.

I guess my big question with the whole men playing women's clubs is: with all the advances in golf technology it seems like everyone should be able to find something that works for them and their swing. I completely understand going with what works, but why would it be a ladies model when there are so many options of clubs out there? I would think you would be able to find something. Using the last guy I played with as an example: He was playing a Taylormade burner driver. Now I know that driver is overstocked at so many golf stores its crazy! I just don't see how he could have consciously gone with a ladies burner (especially since the women's model is very distinctly printed with women's pastel colors) when there are a bunch of options in shaft flex for that club. X,S,R,Senior, etc… ?

I mean some kids get stuck in the height range between junior's and men's sets and just settle on women's clubs. Not that big of a deal. Whatever works.

In this case, the ladies driver in question was not working. Unless it was purchased for the sole purpose of hitting somewhat random drives with one thing in common - suckage. I think the man in the OP's group bought the wrong driver and was too inexperienced to know the difference.
