Women's Iron Series

Shaft, length, grip: what makes a women's iron stand out

A women's iron is first distinguished by its shaft made of graphite, which is lighter and more flexible, with a Lady flex that helps generate head speed and lift the ball. Its length is reduced by about an inch, or two and a half centimeters, compared to a standard set, and its thinner grip fits smaller hands. The overall lighter weight makes the club easier to accelerate towards the end of a round when fatigue sets in. These values are averages: a tall golfer or one with an energetic swing may play with longer and stiffer irons.

TaylorMade Stealth HD Lady: tolerance against the slice

The TaylorMade Stealth HD Lady series, for High Draw, is designed with a draw bias: its asymmetrical face helps the ball to slightly curve from right to left for a right-handed player, correcting the slice, the most common flaw among female players. Its Cap Back construction combines steel and lightweight polymers to lower the centre of gravity, and the through Speed Pocket in the sole maintains ball speed on shots struck low on the face, while an internal damping system softens the feel. Paired with an Aldila Ascent Ladies shaft, it ranges from the six iron to the sand wedge.

Srixon ZX in regular graphite: for a swing that is faster

The Srixon ZX series offered here in graphite and regular flex is aimed at female golfers whose swing speed exceeds that of a Lady flex, often tall or with an energetic stroke. Its hollow bodies receive behind the face the MainFrame technology: a pattern of grooves and machined cavities that increases the face's flex and lowers the centre of gravity towards the toes and sole. The Tour V.T. sole glides through the grass even on a slightly fat shot, and the face grooves, deeper on the short irons, improve control over spin on approach shots.

Frequently asked questions

What clubs make up a women's set?

A women's set typically ranges from the six iron to the pitching wedge or sand wedge. Long irons, which are hard to get airborne with moderate swing speed, are rarely included and are replaced by clubs that are easier to play.

How do I know if a lady or regular flex suits me?

It all depends on the swing speed, which is measured during a fitting. A ball that doesn't rise much and goes right often indicates a shaft that is too stiff; a ball that climbs very high and veers left may suggest a shaft that is too soft.

Graphite or steel irons for a female golfer?

Graphite, being lighter, helps increase swing speed and dampens vibrations in the hands and elbows: this is the choice of the vast majority of female golfers. Steel, being heavier and more precise, suits players with a fast swing.

How do I adjust the length of the irons to my height?

The fitting measures the distance from the wrist to the ground, in addition to height. A tall female golfer can play a standard uncut length, or even a set extended by half an inch, while a short female golfer may use a shortened set.

Are there iron sets for left-handed players?

Yes, most major sets are available in left-handed versions, but not always in all combinations of shaft and flex. Be sure to check the orientation, right or left, indicated in the product name before ordering.
