These days, women do everything a man can, including playing certain sports that was once upon a time male dominated. This refers to the sport of golf, which off late has been seeing an increase in number of women players. However, there are some aspects which are different between men and women playing golf.
Women can play with men’s clubs, but in most cases, they prefer to use a club made just for them. These are made exclusively for women players and the design, style is different from that of a man’s. The womens golf clubs are made to serve the same purpose, only difference is their weight or size.
Also, the grip on men’s clubs are bigger, unlike that of the women, where it is thinner. The weight of the women’s clubs is lighter than men, to allow them to hit well, and increasing the speed of the shot. The ladies drivers are about 12 degrees, whereas in men’s clubs it is about 9 or 11 maximum. This helps the ladies get the ball higher into the air, and moves it faster as well. There are some women who prefer playing using clubs similar to men’s, as they would have tried the lighter ones and found them not very helpful. It does depend on the person, but women sure have more options than men while choosing golf clubs.
The clubs made for women are usually a tad shorter than that of the men’s. This is because the average height of women is said to be lesser than men and so they require a club which is shorter. Only then will they be able to focus, and shoot the ball off the tee without any trouble. Else, they will have to either bend too much or too less, making it difficult to get the shot going.
There are websites and companies that create customized womens golf clubs, just so more women come forward to give this game a shot. There are some who would have tried playing, but would have used their male friend or spouses clubs, which would have been heavier, making it difficult, nearly impossible to swing and hit the ball off the Tee.
