Ladies Drivers

With the popularity of ladies golf on the increase, manufacturers are producing impressive ranges of golf clubs designed specifically for the female golfer. While the purpose of the female wood is the same as any mens driver, careful consideration is given to absolutely every aspect of the club design. Everything from the grip and the shaft to the loft and weighting is expertly tweaked, thus enabling women to get the most out of their game.

Ladies Golf Driver Technology

As the big hitter in a set of clubs, it is important to select a wood that you feel comfortable with. Having a bigger driver than your rivals will count for little unless you can use it confidently.

All sorts of advanced clubhead technologies are available to women goflers, but you can't go far wrong with a large clubhead and sweet spot. The extra size will increase your confidence and is more forgiving when things don't go quite to plan. Depending on your level of experience it is generally best to avoid highly technical drivers that won't benefit your game.

Female Golf Club Grips & Loft

The loft of the driver is another important consideration. Degrees vary from 8 to 13 and although the difference may appear slight, you can be sure that it will have a noticeable impact on the shots you play. Greater loft translates into more height and vice versa. As a result, beginners will find ladies drivers with extra loft somewhat easier to hit, but it all comes down to practice and technique!

Ladies golf drivers utilise high quality materials to maximise traction, comfort and performance. As with mens drivers, there is a choice between graphite and steel shafts. The majority of female golfers and beginners in particular will find that a wood with a graphite shaft is the best option, whilst steel is an appropriate choice for more experienced players.

Women's Graphite Drivers

An important aspect of a graphite shaft is to consider the appropriate amount of flex. 'Ladies' flex is the obvious choice as this offers the most flexibility, which in turn makes it easier to generate the power you need to send the ball flying down the fairway.

Female drivers typically feature standard sized grips, however there are slightly thinner options available, enabling players with smaller hands to gain maximum control. Corded and velvet golf grips are available in a variety of colours to suit every style and price range.

Top quality ladies drivers are manufactured by all of the leading golf brands, including Mizuno, Nike and Callaway Golf. Whatever your budget and level of ability, it pays dividends to find the right club that meets your own personal requirements.
