My daughter has played for 3 months and shots in the mid 90's, thats counts her 45 putts per round since she hasn;t learned to read greens yet. Anyways she will be playing at a small college starting next year and would like some new clubs. We went to Dick's last weekend and all they had was a Rocketballz ladies set and a Speedblade mens set. She didn't like the weight with the mens club, but did not have any problems hitting the ball with either set. Their monitors were not working, so could not tell anything about the shots.

We have narrowed our choices down to the Rocketbladez or X Hot and I wondered what people on here think is the better irons to get her. Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Thank you

Ed

Given her plans, I would suggest she find a woman golf pro who could help her stabilize her game, and help her find proper clubs. Ask golfing friends for names.

You haven't told us anything about her past sports experiences, and how tall she is. Slightly taller women sometimes generate enough clubhead speed to use a men's R-flex shaft.

From your post, I would mention that the shaft in a golf club is just as critical as the clubhead. You want a shaft with proper weight and flex to get the most out of the golf swing.

Above all, find a golf shop which has launch monitors that work, and a larger selection of clubs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

She is 5'7" and 155. She is a 4 sport letterman in high school. She lettered in cross country, golf, basketball & softball. There isn't anyone around us that can help and the people I have talked to that are over 2 hours away are way to expensive. We can't afford the real expensiive places to go and get fitted and get clubs. She has a swing coach already, he sells Penley shafts but does not have any machines for loft or to see which one works better. I am tryong to save enough money to take her to look at 3 of the colleges that are inerested in her to see if she likes the schools. Getting an education is the most important thing and right now golf is giving her the opportunity to do it.

I have been looking at used sets that are in very good condition. Like I said, the only clubs she got to hit was Taylormade and one club was a mens club. The clubs are going to be expensive enough where putting expensive shafts in will be to expensive. Most places within a couple hours of here don't even have but one set for women. Like they told me last weekend, they don't carry womens clubs because they don't sell that many of them but they can always order them.

Try looking at this site and then give Callaway a call. They are very helpful. I am very happy with the service I have gotten from the folks on the phone.

http://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/clubs/womens,default,sc.html

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

I go on their site everyday. I talked to them yesterday and they said depending on how much money you wanted to spend get the Razr X, X Hot or the X2 Hot.

Decided to ask the 6 coaches if they or their girls had any preferences and the one coach said he could order her whatever she wanted with their discount. The biggest discount was on Titleist, which he said one of his girls just ordered a set the other day. That was one brand I wasn't looking t because of the price.Back to more reading.

I teach in a college business school, so congrats on your daughter getting to play golf in college.

As for clubs, any chance a golf expo or demonstration day is coming to your area this spring? These events have club manufacturing reps on hand (Callaway, TaylorMade, etc). They have test sets of clubs - including women's clubs - and can swap different flex shafts into the test clubs to see what your daughter needs.

If the reps could find what club models and shafts she needed, she could forward this info to her new coach.

Anyway, good luck!

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
