Ladies Petite Golf Sets: Are You Using The Right Set?

by Sue Rainson

Perhaps you have recently taken up golf and now you find yourself needing to decide whether you should look for ladies petite golf sets or would the standard sets be better for you? You can easily compare selecting a golf club to selecting a dress. When you choose a dress your height is a determining factor in what size to select and the same thing is true for selecting clubs. You can find dresses in average, petite and tall sizes; just like golf clubs.

If your height is less than 5 feet 2 inches then ladies petite golf sets are probably appropriate for you. Ladies whose height ranges between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 8 inches normally use standard club sets. Ladies over 5 feet 8 inches traditionally use tall length clubs. These are typical representations for club sizes; there are no industry standards. The best way to find your size is by trying different clubs.

For those new to golfing there is a tendency not to realize the full impact that using wrong clubs can have on your performance. Ladies golf clubs are lighter than men clubs. Having a lighter club can enable a lady to have more control over her swing.

In ladies petite golf sets you will find clubs that are one-inch shorter than those found in standard sets. This inch can have a significant impact over the control of your swing. Trying to swing a club that is too long for your body proportions can hinder your swing. Thus your performance can suffer.

Feeling and gripping the clubs is an important part of the process when selecting clubs. Trying different ones is a good way to find out what feels best for you.

When beginning the process of choosing clubs your local golf pro shop is a great place to start. You can try a few of them out while there and also take time to talk with the golf pro to see what they might suggest for you.

Don't hesitate to buy a used set of clubs should you find some that are a good price and fit you well. Frequently beginner golfers use a starter set or a used set of clubs.

Golf has been steadily growing in popularity for women golfers over the past years. Responding to this growth, the manufacturers of golf products have expanded their product lines for women golfers. You can find a broad selection of golf products to fit the needs of almost anyone, which includes ladies petite golf sets.
