Many women are starting to play golf to be able to spend time with their husbands and friends. This also provides many hours of exercise with the walking and the golf club swinging. With this in mind and with the influx of novice golfers, the question remains what brand of golf clubs is the best choice for women beginners.
Golf clubs for women usually have a smaller shaft due to the typical smaller stature of the female frame. The shafts are made of either steel or graphite and each have their pros and cons. The steel shaft makes the club heavier and puts more weight into the swing, but is a solid hit. But the graphite shaft flexes and is much lighter, which in the long run makes for a more controlled stroke.
A $300 set of clubs that are properly fitted make a better investment than a more costly set of improperly fitted ones. The grips should fit the woman’s hands in order to complete a proper stroke. Too big or too little will cause an adverse effect on the swing and how the club connects with the ball. Although 14 clubs are allowed in a golf bag, a beginner need only the ones that can be used best as determined by a golf pro when fitting the clubs. Usually around 5 or 6 clubs will suffice to start with. The more clubs to choose from, the more confused the beginner may become.
Although many professional golfers desire specifics in their clubs and are unconcerned with the mixing of different brands, for a beginner it may be much easier to choose one brand and complete a set from that manufacturer. The semantics regarding which brand of driver is the best versus another should not concern the novice. Once the golfer has played for a while and gotten used to how to handle the clubs, a change may be in order. Until then, one driver will react to a golfer’s swing pretty much as any other.
There are many brands of golf clubs on the market and they cater to the novice up to and including professional golfers. Some of the most notable names in the golfing industry are Ping, Titleist, Calloway, Nike, Mizuno, and TaylorMade. These companies offer top dollar equipment, but also offer a few low cost clubs for the novice. Sporting goods stores also offer many low cost clubs, but these are not usually fitted to the golfer and are more for the apprentice level who has a little more knowledge of the game, but is not willing to spend a fortune on clubs. Brands such as Wilson, Champion, Tour Edge, and Top Flight XL are usually the majority of the clubs offered through this type of outlet. Some of the stores have knowledgeable golf salesmen that can provide some form of assistance without the formal training of most golf pros.
