Buying new clubs

Questions
1. Any reason why a man cannot use women's clubs?

I am about 5'6"-7" and weigh 154 lbs.
I was looking at clubs and measured a women's driver against a man's and
the length difference is only about 1". It actually felt very comfortable.

2. Is there much difference in weight?

In other words, what is the difference (s)?

The shaft ;)


Women's clubs tend to have a softer flex to them, although I'd imagine Annika and Wie are playing S or X flex drivers perhaps

And colours/logos. Basically, women's clubs have the same heads in them as mens, they are just esthetically different only. And as mentioned, the shafts.

You'd be just as well off to play a set of men's clubs. You can shorten them if you feel as though you need it (women's clubs are generally shorter than men's as well).

And you won't get stares at the course from macho men who snicker at you when you leave the tee with your Callaway Gems. :D

If they work for you, do it.

I stole my wife's 3 wood about 2 years ago. She ain't getting it back.

I know a guy on the nation wide tour that uses a womans 7 wood. If it works use it.
