Women’s golf drivers

Shaft Lady and open loft: a driver designed for women

A women's driver stands out with a lighter and more flexible shaft made of graphite, in Lady flex, a slightly shorter length, and a loft that's more open, ranging from twelve to thirteen degrees in the selection. These choices compensate for a more moderate swing speed: the shaft loads more easily, the ball launches higher and stays in the air longer. The TaylorMade Qi Max Lite, mounted on a very light Fujikura Air Speeder shaft, and the Wilson Dynapwr Max Lite, equipped with a UST Helium shaft, illustrate this pursuit of lightness to speed up the head without straining.

Draw effect against the slice

The slice, that ball which goes to the right for a right-handed player, comes from a clubface that remains open at impact. Drivers with a draw effect place more mass towards the heel, which helps the face to close and straighten the trajectory. The TaylorMade Stealth HD, for high draw, combines this adjustment with a carbon face, a signature of the Stealth family, and the Wilson Launch Pad combines a draw-oriented design with great lightness, aimed at players who slice the ball. These aids correct the trajectory without replacing proper grip and alignment work.

Tolerance and clubhead size: hitting far even off-centre

Golf rules limit the volume of a driver head to four hundred and sixty cubic centimetres; the models in the selection exploit this maximum to offer a large face and high tolerance. A high inertia, which TaylorMade emphasizes with its Qi family, limits the loss of distance and direction when the ball hits the toe or heel. To choose, one starts from their swing speed: the more moderate it is, the more loft and lightness matter. Wilson, founded in Chicago in 1914, and TaylorMade, born in 1979 around a metal driver, offer ranges dedicated to women.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Lady flex of a shaft?

It's the softest shaft rigidity, rated L, designed for swing speeds that are slow. The shaft flexes more during the downswing and then returns this energy at impact, helping to launch the ball higher and further, with reduced total weight.

Which driver to choose when starting golf?

A light driver, with a large forgiving head and a loft of twelve or thirteen degrees, makes the first tee shots easier. A draw effect model like the Wilson Launch Pad also helps limit balls that go to the right, the most common fault among beginners.

How to drive without slicing?

First, check the grip by slightly turning the left hand to see two or three knuckles, then align the feet and shoulders towards the target. Place the ball at the height of the left heel, on a tee that's fairly high, to hit it on the upswing.

Why is a women's driver shorter?

The shortened shaft, often about an inch shorter than a men's model, corresponds to the average height of female players. It makes centering the ball on the face easier, ensuring consistency, without losing distance with a swing that is moderate.

Can the loft of a driver be adjusted?

On some drivers, a ring placed at the junction of the shaft and the head allows for adjusting the loft by one or two degrees and orienting the face. You adjust it with the provided key, then confirm the adjustment at the range or during a fitting.
