As with many sports and professions, golf has seen a transition in recent decades from being overwhelmingly male-dominated to having a prominent female presence. In the amateur and professional arenas, women are commanding attention from the manufacturers and tour circuits as never before. With that prominence comes buying power and there are many excellent choices in clubs for women golfers.
Callaway Diablo Edge Drivers
For women looking to “let the big dog eat,” the Callaway Diablo Edge drivers are Golf Digest's highest-rated women’s drivers. Striking a balance between a sleek aerodynamic design and easy striking, the low center of gravity of this club means a consistent and more forgiving performance so even newer golfers will see great performance from these long-ball hitters.
TaylorMade Lady Burner Plus Graphite Irons
The top rated irons set offered at Golfsmith as of 2010 is the TaylorMade Lady Burner Plus Combo. The Lady Burners feature a large club face for consistent performance. One reviewer boasted that in her first round with the new clubs, she shaved 15 strokes off her games and was within one stroke of beating her husband for the first time. The Burner set features the 4- and 5-iron “Burner Rescues.” Designed to be used in place of harder to hit drivers, these hybrid irons can bring predictability and consistency to your longer game.
Delta Lady Pro Hybrid Right Handed Golf Set
For the right-handed woman golfer looking to acquire a full set of high performance clubs in one fell swoop, the Delta Lady Pro Hybrids are an excellent purchase. Scoring near-perfect ratings from a wealth of reviews on Buzzilions for their quality, control and durability, the Delta Lady Pro set is a 10-piece collection providing a driver, fairway wood and a full set of irons, including a wedge, leaving only a putter to be acquired separately. All clubs feature full-graphite shafts and durable all-weather grips.
Wilson Hope Ladies’ Left-Handed Graphite Golf Set
The Delta Lady Pros are only available for right-handed golfers, but Wilson offers a set of clubs for left-handed players that has earned high ratings from Wal-Mart shoppers. A true starter kit as well, the Hope Ladies set comes with a full selection of clubs, including a putter as well as an “upgraded” cart bag.
Odyssey Lady Devine Putter
When it comes to the short game, one putter stands out on Golfsmith based on the feedback of women who had put it to the test. The Odyssey Lady Devine putter features a ground-up design for women golfers, differentiating it from the majority of “women's” putters, which are just a modification of the men’s version. A heavy head provides solid and controlled putts.
