Golf Clubs Tall Men
Should I buy a men’s or women’s complete set of golf clubs for my tall girlfriend?
I have a six foot tall girlfriend who wants to start playing golf, and I’d like to buy her a complete set of clubs. Since she is so tall, I was wondering if I should get a men’s or women’s set. Thank you my golfing friends!
Dooley is correct; just because your GF is six-foot tall does not change her basic strength profile. Unless she is extremely athletic, she needs women’s flex shafts, even if it may be necessary to have the clubs custom made for length. Women generally have less upper body strength than similarly-sized men and require the whippier shafts to obtain distance and club speed. Getting her a men’s regular flex from which she cannot get maximum torque will actually reduce how far she can hit the ball.
As a beginner, she needs to develop a smooth, rhythmic swing and she will most likely swing more slowly than she will later as she gains more confidence and consistency. At slower swing speeds, it is doubtful she would be able to get much flex from a men’s shaft.
If you do decide to go with men’s clubs for the added length, I suggest looking into getting them with Senior Flex for all of the reasons discussed above. Senior flex is closer to women’s flex and are whippier than men’s regular, so that might be a compromise solution.
Men ranging from 5’6″ to 6’4″ typically use the same length shafts, so there is no reason a woman 6’0″ cannot use the same clubs as a woman 5’4″. The longer swing arc she will be able to make should cause her to hit the ball farther, but there is no reason to use special clubs.
