Ladies' Clubs

woods, irons & hybrid irons

 -This section applies to those women who have swing speeds, using a driver, of around 70 mph or less, and hit their drives less than 150 yards. Those who are longer hitters should be using the "men's" products, with the shaft that fits their swing speed, in the other sections of our site.

  -The shafts are graphite in both woods and irons, with a flex called "L", standing for "ladies". Such players need flexible shafts to help get the ball airborne and to yield more distance.

  -The standard lengths are:-

                                                  woods                                    irons
                                     driver       44.0"                             #3      38.5"
                                         #3       43.0"                             #4      38.0"
                                         #5       42.0"                             #5      37.5"
                                         #7       41.0"                             #6      37.0"
                                         #9       40.0"                             #7      36.5"
                                        #11      39.0"                             #8      36.0"
                                                                                        #9      35.5"
                                                                                        pw      35.5"
                                                                                        sw      35.5"
                                                                                        lw       35.5"
                             These can be adjusted, longer or shorter, to fit the given player.

  - Most players will find that the standard offering of 1, 3 and 5 wood with 3 thru pw irons makes a poor set. They cannot hit the 3 iron and find the 4 iron a struggle. In such cases the player should substitute a 7 wood for the 3 iron and a 9 wood for the 4 iron. By substuting woods for irons, the player will find they provide much more distance and can also be used to rescue themselves from bad lies or the rough. The products listed below allow the player to pick and choose a configuration of woods and irons that fit their game.

   - Fitting Examples:-

         1- The woman in question hits her current driver 180 yards or more. She would be selecting woods and irons in the sections marked "woods" and "irons" listed elsewhere - the so called men's prducts. Her shaft selection would most likely be R, regular. Her set might well be a 10.5 degree driver, a 3, 5 and 7 wood, together with a 4 iron thru a pitching wedge (pw). Her gender would not be a consideration, just her playing abilities. If she is also tall she might make her clubs at men's standard lengths, or 1/2 inch shorter, as the case may be.
         2- This lady hits her driver 120 yards, when she is able to connect solidly. Slicing and topping the ball is frequent. She would be selecting from the equipment listed below. Her set might be a driver at 12 degrees - either the M.P.O. club or the XPS club-  and a 3, 5, 7 and 9 wood from Synchron II fairway woods. Her irons would be the Black Lightning clubs, from the 5 iron thru the pitching wedge. In all cases the proper shaft is the ladies flex.
         3- The lady hits her driver about 150 yards typically.She is in between the two cases above. Her set would include a high lofted driver - the M.P.O.: the XPS; or the titanium Prestige Classic. Her irons would be the Black Lightning clubs. The fairway woods should be the Synchron II system, selecting a 3, 5, 7 and 9 wood as her set. The shafts on all should be a little stiffer than the standard ladies' flex. The proper shaft would most likely be the seniors' flex.                              ;

  - We only recommend titanium driver heads that are relatively small when measured form heel to toe,  97 mm's or under.. Years of observation has shown that the player has great difficulty bringing larger heads to a square position during the downswing. The net result is slicing or topped shots.

The people at Simple Golf have developed a package that works far better than any swing method we have tried, without a doubt. It is a single axis swing that keeps the clubhead square to the ball throughout the backswing and downswing--a feat never accomplished before!  In about an hour you will be hitting the ball farther, with pinpoint accuracy, than you imagined possible. In about a week you will have grooved the swing for a lifetime. The Simple Golf price for the instructions is $49.95, less than a pro lesson, for the most elusive thing in golf - a good swing.


  woods


  - M.P.O. driver - 17-4 stainless steel & proprietary graphite shaft, 12 degree loft    RH

    - This unit is made with a double rail on the sole to lower the center of gravity of the head and make it easier to get a higher ball flight.  The little step in the rear of the sole is there to avoid bouncing off the ground just prior to naking contact with the ball.The club is easy to use and will provide the slow swinger the extra ball carry needed to hit longer drives. It can be used freely with any fairway woods listed, as the shaft and the head weight are so matched.  

    - Price ea. - $42.00
    - Delivery - 3 to 5 business days


 - Prestige Classic driver, Ti 6-4, offsaet, 13 degrees, 350 cc's w/ Rapid Fire graphite shaft  RH

  - This driver is the answer for those who need more distance and/or slice the ball.
  
 - Slower swingers need to hit the ball higher to gain more distance. The generous 13 degree loft is
   designed to get the ball airborne quickly and to increase ball carry in the air.
 
 - Slicing occurs when the club face is open at collision with the ball. This offset design allows the
   player to more readily bring the club head to a square position at impact and transfer more energy
   to the ball. Open face hits are glancing blows that greatly reduce distance.
 
 - The head is just 96 mm's wide as measured from heel to toe. Experience shows that it is much easier
   for the player to a narrower head to a square position than the big, wide, heads.

 - Tees that are 2 & 3/4 inches high are recommended for ease of use and maximum distance.

 

    Price ea. - $95.00, with Rapid Fire graphite shaft

   Delivery - 3 to 6 business days

 


  

  -Pres*tige II TI 6-4 driver,   380 cc, 11.5 degrees loft with Rapid Fire multi flex graphite shaft     RH

       - This driver is made for those who swing at speeds lower than 85 mph ( less than 190 yard drives ) and need a higher launch angle and more ball carry in the air. The specs. are :- Loft - 11.5 degrees; Lie angle - 56 degrees; Face width from heel to toe - 97 mm's. The face is slightly closed at a 1 degree angle to combat slicing. It is important that the player tee up the ball high enough when playing titanium head clubs as they are larger from sole to the top than conventional steel clubs. To avoid low shots and reduced ball carry, use the 2& 3/4 inch tees that are now commonly available.
       - Note :- this driver is compatible with any of our fairway woods.


  

                      Price ea. - $88.00 w/ Rapid Fire multi flex shaft

irons


 - Prestige Classic Irons - 431 stainless steel & proprietory graphite shafts.    RH only

  - The Prestige Classic irons are easy to use designs, very suitable for intermediate to slow swings. They
have a muscle back in the cavity that creates a low center of gravity that allows the player to get the ball
in the air readily. The soles, as measured from face to rear, are moderately narrow, which enables the player
to make decent contact in bad lies. The offsets are generous to help the player square the face and avoid slicing.

  - The specs. are:-
                          No.                      4      5     6     7     8     9     PW     SW
                          Loft - degs.          23    26   30   34    38   42     46       54

  - BL Soft Wedges - 304 stainless steel & proptietary graphite shafts.   RH only
    
    - These can complement the Prestige Classic irons above, or be an excellent addition for those who simply seek a pitching   wedge, a sand wedge and/or a lob wedge. Soft wedges are designed to promote "feel" on the part of the player so they can quickly learn how to use them. Their tendency is to get the ball up high quickly.  The pitching wedge is to be used for a full shot when a 9 iron would go too far; for little short pitches when just off the green; and to recover from the rough while hitting the ball a good distance. The player will want to use the sand and lob wedges from the sand; from the rough; and where a bloop shot is needed such as going over a sand trap or other hazard.

          - 52 deg. pitching wedge, (PW), 64 deg. lie, 6 deg. bounce    

         - 56 deg. sand wedge, (SW), 64 deg. lie, 12 deg. bounce

         - 60 deg. lob wedge, (LW), 64 deg. lie,  8 deg. bounce

 

   - Price ea. - $30.00
   - Delivery - 3 to 5 business days


  - Hybrid Select 5000  iron/wood - 17-4 stainless steel & proprietary graphite shaft RH LH
    
     - Although these are irons technically, with iron shafts and lengths, they are designed to be as easy to hit as fairway woods. The hollow construction places the center of mass down and towards the rear, as is the case in many woods. This provides a more sweeping action and lessens the need to dig into the ground to get the ball airborne. While many powerful players will use the 1,2 and 3 irons as their preffered clubs, the greatest use is for the slower swingers from the 3 iron and up. These are offered in various sets so the player can economically pick no more than needed.  

                                     # 3 - 21 deg. loft, 61.0 deg. lie      RH
                                     # 4 - 24 deg. loft, 61.5 deg. lie      RH
                                     # 5 - 27 deg. loft, 62.0 deg. lie      RH
                                     # 6 - 30 deg. loft, 62.5 deg. lie      RH
                                     # 7 - 34 deg. loft, 63.0 deg. lie      RH
                                     # 8 - 38 deg. loft, 64.0 deg. lie      RH
                                     # 9 - 42 deg. loft, 64.0 deg. lie      RH
