well i tripped upon this web site and am happy to have done so. but much to my dismay i am worried about the clubs i bought and the supplier that i bought them from you guys know the one Dicks sporting goods. I bought a set of acuity clubs and a separate bag. but i very strongly dislike that store for lack of a better way to put that.
so if i wanted to start out would it be a bad idea to use my husbands clubs until i get better or get my own set to start out with. i guess there is supposed to be a difference from mens to womans but i dont know what that is. height wise he is only a inch taller than i am so i dont think club length is a problem but i am asking from the thought that some of you may know what you are doing and may be able to help because i am really wanting to return the unused clubs to d.s.g. and never return just on principle alone never mind all that i have heard about them in reading equipment reviews.
so please help me i could really use it. My dad who worked for Lynx ( that make come of the clubs you guys play with) and is plant manager tells me to just use the loaner clubs until i get more comfortable but then how do i go out in the course and play.......
Please!!!!!
it would be better to have your own set, but for the time being, there's no reason not to play with your husbands set. most courses do however require each person to have their own set. (hope i'm going down the right track).
generallly the ladies clubs are more flexible and shorter than the mens, but being almost the same hiegth, you may not want that. those clubs are good for a starter set and as long as the shafts in them aren't too stiff (they'll either be regular or stiff and it will say and the shaft band up by the grip), use them. (it's a lot more fun having your own)
as both of you improve, yo may want to upgrade. hope this helps.
ok, now that i seen some of your other posts, i understand what's going on( i think). the set you purchased will do just fine. take good care of them and they'll last for years. eventually , you may want to upgrade. this all depends on how much playing you do and how accomplished you've become.
thank you for your help. i talked to my hubby last night and decided to just take the clubs i bought to the driving range and use them. we figured if they are **** you live and you learn. so i did have a pretty good day at the driving range today. i used all the clubs except the wedges. i actually hit my driver off the tee about 150 yards give or take. for the very first time ever using a driver. i guess my only other major question would be for your wife possibly. I am a woman that has been well endowed and well there is a huge problem in my way when i try to swing the club. at the clinic i go to they have said to choise over or under and both seem to have good points and bad.. PLEASE any help there would be great.

i understand, my wife had the same problem, but now since she's had a hip problem, she doesn't play anymore. i'm no pro , but i would suggest that if you have a shorter back swing to stay under, hands closer to the body is always better. if you have a longer back swing, then go over. you may have to adjust your spine tilt some (more forward lean) so that the club stays on plane and this will allow for a better shoulder turn without interference. enjoy your clubs.

Don't know if this is practical or not for you but I live close to Denver so when my son started showing an interest we hit a bunch of yard sales and found a complete set of women's clubs that were only a couple of years old and fit him quite nicely (he was 11 at the time). They cost us $25, which is less than the price of a round of golf and he was able to use them long enough to decide he loved the game and for me to decide it was worth the investment in a new set. If you live in a metropolitan area, you might give this a try
