Hi All,

I’m looking to purchase irons, wedges, drivers and looking for recommendations. My selection is very limited because I am a lefty/female with a swing speed that averages around 65.  I am presently using Callaway’s Strata set and would like to upgrade.  Can any of you assist me with recommendations? 

Thanks!

Yeah it gets a little tricky when you are a lefty female.

I'm going to make a suggestion that will probably not be said again. Tour Edge HL3. They are made in both dexterities and both genders. They won't break the bank either.

As a lefty female you are actually ok if you get fitted and have your clubs built and shipped from the manufacture.  You may end up wanting a selection of woods and hybrids, maybe shorter and lighter shafts.  However you and your fitter decide, you’ll be able to get what you want if you custom order.

I turned 70 recently and just replaced my irons.  I have been playing golf for 58 years and have used every shaft and almost every name brand irons made.  This time I decided to have clones custom made for my swing speed, using grips that I liked, club length to suit my height and a lie 1 degree flat.  Custom clone irons will cost about $40 each,and you can buy only what you want for irons.  On Woods and hybrids go to a demo day or a golf store and  hit until you find something that works  Whether you end up with hybrids or fairway wood will depend on your swing and which ones you are most comfortable with.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
