What size golf clubs should I use?

Question

I would like to get into golf and would like to buy some clubs.

I'm an 18 yr old female but i'm only 5 ft 2 inches so should I buy ladies clubs or junior?

Answer 1

Go with ladies clubs. I prefer you would go with ram gforce series. Hope this helps. Also allow the club to go up to your waist

Answer 2

Before buying a new clubs, got to Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith and have a club fitting. In those stores you can try as many womens clubs as you want. I would suggest sign for lesson also, so that you know the basic stuff of golf like grip and swing.

Answer 3

I'd go with the ladies....There are more choices available to you and Juniors are so limited.  Besides you can get the clubs fitted to you.

Answer 4

Go to a professional (golf shop, golf club) and talk to them.

I could go into alot of stuff about fittings etc but your best going to the shop/golf club and talking it over with them.

I live in the UK and the Amercian Golf shop is perfect for doing this, they can also help to pick the golf clubs which will best suit you.

Im not sure if the US have an american golf, but if they don't I am sure there will be something

Answer 5

Before you purchase any clubs you need to go and get sized for the clubs.  They have a way of measuring that for you if you go to a retailer.  First, I would suggest hitting a few clubs and find the brand you like then go and get fitted by a retailer of that brand.  There are websites that can tell you what kind of Ping club you would need.  I assume there are other for different brands.

Answer 6

5'2" should certainly be tall enough that you can adjust a normal-sized ladies' set to fit, so I'd go for those.

American Golf may be the most accessible but not all of their sales staff are as well trained as a PGA professional, so when it comes time to buy a decent set, you should go to a club pro for a fitting.

However, realistically you'll almost certainly be best off buying an "off the shelf" set for the moment if you're only just starting out - NB it might be worth asking at a club pro shop how much it would cost to get half an inch taken off your set (typically around £5-7 per club). If you need everything - irons, woods, putter, bag etc - a package set would be a good start. Which one you should buy depends on how much you want to spend.

If you've never played at all, you should probably keep the outlay to a minimum for now. A half-set may be enough - for example this one:

However, if you've played a few times and are pretty sure you will be serious about the game, then maybe look at a better-quality full set such as this:

Sorry the colours are all a bit girly - I'm afraid that's your fate as a lady golfer!

The last link is to a set designed for women under 5'3", and is very competitively priced:

Unlike the other makes this shop carries (Texan, Chicago, Confidence), I've actually heard of Prosimmon - my own starter set was by them. Quality might well not be up to the bigger names - dont blame me if they fall apart in six months! - but if you want a cheap way in, they could be worth a try.

When you get better, and have saved up, you'll probably want to upgrade to a "name" set (the choice is limited only by your purse), but for now the key thing is probably to get some cheap clubs just so that you're playing with one consistent set rather than having to borrow/hire them all the time.

Answer 7

Purchase Ladies Clubs. ....Have clubs fitted to u. Have irons cut so the 5 iron is 36 inches long, 7 iron 35 inches etc....3 wood have fitted at 41 inches,5 wood 40 inches.Putter 33 inches. Irons may need the lie set to fit u. on a lie and loft machine.

Starting the game, shorter clubs will be much easier to hit than longer clubs.It's not how far u hit the ball but how straight u hit it.
