How To Purchase Ladies Left-Handed Golf Clubs - A Buying Guide

Only about 10% of the population is left handed although you wouldn't know it looking at my family. Being right handed myself, I'm in the minority. My mother-in-law, my husband, his two sisters and my son are all southpaws. They often struggle living in a right handed world. Thankfully, there are many products built just for them, and golf clubs are one such product.

Lots of lefties have the tendency to golf right handed which is most likely due to the fact that second hand clubs are often right handed and perhaps they don't want to go to the expense of purchasing brand new clubs without knowing whether they will like the game or not. The problem is that if they do become more serious about the game down the road, they may have by then developed alot of bad habits that will be harder to break using clubs that are wrong for them to begin with.

Additionally, a woman's golf set is made differently than a man's set. For starters, they are lighter than a man's so that she can more easily swing them and get the full range of motion. Secondly, the shafts are often shorter than with a man's set.

Lefties sometimes face frustrations that righties take for granted because so many products are designed for right handed people (can openers are a good example). However, most golf suppliers have created left handed versions of their clubs to suit both beginner and professional golfers alike.

You'll want to investigate the many options that are available in a left handed golf set for ladies. The great thing is that if you're shopping for a beginner set, you can find them for under $150. Later, after you've become more serious about the game, you can purchase a more costly set. Also, you'll find that much of the golf equipment that's been manufactured for women comes in colors that appeal more to them.
