Driver Head Question

[Hoganman1]

Are the heads on Ladies' drivers the same as Men's? I'm looking for a TM M4 driver 12* with a regular shaft, but they're really hard to find. I've seen some models for ladies online. If I put a regular men's shaft in a ladies' head will it perform properly?

It's likely to be lighter in weight than a men's club
If it has changeable weights you could substitute a heavier one to bring the total weight up.
It'll still work with a regular shaft in it but it may feel a bit butt heavy/head light

Good point. I guess I'll just keep searching for a men's version. Surely there's one out there somewhere.
Thanks for responding.

Golfbidder have a 10.5° ladies.

heads are so lightweight these days that ther is likely to be very little difference in 'raw' head weight.As already said they are weighted by the removable weights and they are easily bought on ebay.

I used to have the R580 3 wood in both a ladies head and a mens (both with R flex shafts) and I could not spot any real difference.

Colour blind huh!

There is not much difference in the head, its more the shaft options that are catered for ladies, I have seen a few youtube videos of mens v ladies clubs and it's really is only down to shaft selection, brands dont redesign club head for both sexes just a little tweak to make them cost effective, if brands catered for all levels they would have a normal head, senior head and ladies heads, like said above I'm pretty sure is just the removable weights that are different

Thanks for all the advice. I may have finally found a men's club online. It's not a familiar site. I always worry about counterfeiters when buying online. Have any of you ever used Golf Avenue?

Never heard of them before.

I think they're in Canada. Their reviews are mostly good, but there are a few that make me skeptical.

I once went out with a girl that fitted that description.

I would say I married one but I like living and she's far brighter than me anyway

The lady's club was silver headed . Typical pandering to fashion not form.

Do Golfbidder ship to the States..?
Got a feeling this Hogie is from the far side of the pond....

heads are the same mate. just different shaft options

My club fitter added a touch of weight to the head of my driver when he set it up. I am guessing any decent fitter could do the same for yourself.

The heads on the M4 come in 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, and 12°, but not being a model in current production, it may be difficult to find the one you want.

I like the TM Original One with the smaller 275cc head. Mine is 13.5º. I don't have to tee the ball high and play it too forward in my stance.
It's not ACTUALLY the Original One which came out in 1979 or 80. They're re-using the name.

You are correct. I live in the colonies. North Carolina to be specific. Also, many of the clubs I see online are in "fair" condition. Sometimes that translates to beat all to hell.

Just to finish off the story, I found a TM M6 that was reduced (newer model coming soon). It felt similar to the M4 and was new. Thanks for all your responses. I really like this site.
