I am a shorty, any difference in clubs for juniors/womens/men?

[dexterousity]

Hi all,

I'm just picking up the golf game, but I'm fairly vertically challenged. Probably top off at about 5'3 or so, if I'm lucky? I manage to get by for certain sports by picking up gear for juniors (ie, shoes/shorts), so I'm wondering what the exact difference is between a good quality set of golf clubs for juniors/womens/men? Looking to pick up a set of second hand clubs, and it seems that there's a lot of good ones out there for womens/juniors out there for sale on the cheap?

Assuming the length is alright, is there anything wrong with me using junior/women's clubs? I would assume that all things considered, all clubs would have the same head technology regardless of which demographic its meant for?

I hope people will answer, and then promptly forget about this topic, so when I post later, this won't come back to haunt me :P

The ladies shafts might give you problems with the flex. But why not get fitted. That would tell you the length and flex of clubs you need. You might be fine with the jr clubs, but you might be better with regular clubs that are cut down to size.

you should get fitted.  I'm 5'2" and not only did I need the shafts cut down and inch 1/4, I also needed clubs with a lie angle which is a degree flat.
