are ladies clubheads different from men

[bigslice]

in irons are they different

 

[SocketRocket]

Normally shorter, more flex in the shaft and thinner grips. Many men seem to play better with them

Club Heads - No

Club head cosmetics - maybe/probably

Shafts - Almost certainly (softer and often a tad shorter).

There is more variation from brand to brand than there is between gender marketed clubs.

Women's clubs tend to be designed with women in mind so aesthetics and length of shaft differ. Like men women would benefit from a full custom fitting. Strangely I rarely hear or see them talk about it and all seem to carry off the shelf gear.

Don't forget that a woman doesn't necessarily need ladies clubs solely because of her gender. My wife quite happily plays mens clubs.

I don't think the club heads are different other than the likelihood of a wee flash of pink...

Ladies clubs tend to have shorter and more flexible shafts since that suits the average female player better. Blend in a bit of marketing spin and there you go.

All that really matters are your height and swing speed. My last set were off the shelf men's clubs and my current set are custom fit R11s. (Yip, ladies get custom fit too! )

My mistake, I misread the title as Ladies Clubs not Clubheads.
