My 12 year old daughter has been playing with a set of Walter Hagen junior clubs. A starter set I believe is part of the Golf Galaxy/Dick's line. She's really starting to progress as a player and I'm thinking about buying her a set of better clubs. She's 5'3" and has a pretty powerful swing. The irons are heavy and have steel shafts.
There's a couple sets of ladies TM R7 Draw irons on line I'm looking at. One is priced at just $329 on Rock Bottom. They are shafted with the Re*ax 45 ladies flex shaft. I've noticed that the non-draw are shafted with Re*ax 55 ladies flex and are priced as high as $599 for new.
I know nothing about what a woman/girl should swing as far as weight in a shaft. Will the lighter shafts be more flexible? We have her swinging pretty hard and I don't want to put her into a shaft that is too soft or light, while I also don't want to put her in a shaft that's too much for her. I'm thinking I only need a couple/three seasons out of these clubs.
Also, why is this set on Rock Bottom so cheap compared to other sites? I've seen the same set of irons for as much as $499.00. I saw a used set of the non-draw R7's with the 55 gram shafts for I believe $464 on a different site.
How much difference does the draw bias make, and would that be something in general that is good for a woman/girl golfer really getting into the game?
I understand that can vary by swing. I don't know if getting her fit makes sense, because she's growing fast. Also, I have a love-hate relationship with the Golf Galaxy drones near my house, and I don't trust their supposed expertise. The chubby fellow there, who seems to be in charge, and I have clashed on occasion.
Thanks,
Kevin
