What should I look for in a Women's Driver?

Question

Currently I have a Slazenger 12 degree Driver, I hit it pretty accurately but I want more distance. I tried my boyfriends Ping G10 and got almost 40 more yards, it is stiff, and I have always been told woman should use flex due to slow swing speed. I do have an average woman's swing speed. I have been looking at the Taylor Made Burner 10.5 Degree, they also have a 13 degree, Callaway makes an 11 degree, and I almost think that would be perfect, but I truly do not know enough about driver's to know what is best for me. If you have any helpful insight, please answer. Thanks!

Answer 1

I would go to a local golf course and try a demo with an interchangeable shaft. Almost every major brand have one now. If you have an average woman's swing speed you might want to get a woman's shaft with a lower degree head. Another option is for you to go to your local golf store and let them fit you for a driver. Your best bet is to go to an Edwin Watts or Golf Galaxy they have the best technology for that.

Answer 2

My wife uses the Taylor Made Burner Draw, regular flex and standard length, 10.5 degrees.  She is 5 ft 8 and hits it about 220 yards.  The draw setup turned her normal high fade drives into straighter longer drives.  She loves it.  She spent a lot of time on the simulator at the golf shop til she found the right setup for her swing.  Make sure you start with your old club to set a baseline.  Then you know what the newer clubs can provide.  

Answer 3

Depending on your handicap, I would go based on that. High Handicap go with generic and middle go with Slazenger and if low handicap go with callaway or Talylormade and willingness to pay.

Answer 4

You should check out the driver reviews over at Golflink - they have a ton of info on women's clubs. Good luck!

Answer 6

I say that the mens drivers do hit the ball farther, but they are harder to control. So if you want control, go with a womens club. Mens clubs are traditionally longer too. The TM is a great club and you will enjoy it if you can get the ball into the air. However, the callaway is good too. I say hit both at the store, and see which one offers less mis hits. Then, buy it, grip it and rip it.  

Answer 7

Go to golf shop talk to a pro. You can try all the drivers you mention see which one is right for you.
