Our women's golf kit page brings together our advice for choosing a complete set designed for female golfers: Lady graphite shafts, shorter and lighter clubs, hybrids instead of long irons, thin grips, and a matching lightweight bag. Our guidelines help to choose the length according to height, right or left-handed version, and the suitable composition for beginners or to improve.
A complete bag designed for female golfers.
A women's kit is primarily distinguished by its shaft Lady, rated L: the softest and lightest of flexes, made from graphite, it allows the club head to accelerate with a swing that flows smoothly. The clubs are about an inch shorter, or two and a half centimeters, than standard men's models, and the lighter heads match this reduced weight. The grips have a smaller diameter, suitable for finer hands. The result is a lower overall weight, which reduces fatigue over eighteen holes and promotes a balanced finish.
Women's clubs also come in:
All clubs can be found on the women's clubs page.
Long play is often the trickiest part for a female golfer. Women's kits address this by incorporating more hybrids, whose hollow heads and low, rear centre of gravity help the ball rise even on less-than-perfect contact. The fairway wood, often a five or seven wood with an open loft, is easy to hit from the fairway. The driver also has a higher loft than a men's model, often twelve degrees or more, to compensate for a lower ball speed and extend the flight time.
The standard length of women's clubs suits golfers around one metre sixty to one metre seventy; beyond that, a tall player or a fast swing may opt for men's length clubs or a slightly stiffer senior flex. The hand should be checked before purchase: left-handed kits are available, but in smaller quantities. Finally, the kit's bag, with stand, can be carried on the shoulder or placed on a trolley; a lightweight model encourages walking the course rather than using a cart.
Good bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals feature the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The highlights of the year come in a stable order: the Black Friday in late autumn, the end-of-year festivities, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school sales.
A seven iron or a hybrid offers a good balance between control and distance feel. The driver can be worked on later, once ball contact becomes regular and centred.
If the ball shoots up very high and then lands short, or consistently goes left for a right-handed player, the shaft might be bending too much. Trying a senior flex, which is stiffer, allows for comparison of trajectories.
Depending on the models, a kit usually contains from eight to eleven clubs, in addition to the bag. This composition covers tee shots, iron play, approaches, and putting, without reaching the limit of fourteen clubs.
Yes, the clubs in a kit meet the rules and allow participation in club competitions. Many female golfers then add an additional wedge for finer short game control.
The ten-finger grip or the interlocked grip, where the pinky of the lower hand wraps around the index of the top hand, works well for small hands. A thin grip also makes for a relaxed hold.
