Men’s vs Women’s Golf Clubs: Key Differences Explained for Better Performance

Golf clubs aren’t on

Golf clubs aren’t one-size-fits-all, and understanding the differences between men’s and women’s clubs can significantly impact performance on the course.

Men, on average, are taller and have faster swing speeds than women, which influences the design and specifications of their clubs.

For instance, the average PGA Tour player drives the ball 275 yards with a 113 mph swing speed, while the average LPGA player hits 218 yards with a 94 mph swing speed.

These differences necessitate distinct club features. Men’s clubs are generally longer and heavier to suit their height and strength, whereas women’s clubs are designed to be lighter and shorter, accommodating their average height of 5 feet 4 inches.
