Does anyone know what the difference is between mens and womens club sets, other than the color and I suppose the shafts? Is there really any other major difference?

Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I am 99% sure that lady's golf clubs have a shorter shaft length.

Whats the reasoning behind your question, if you dont mind me asking?

Yes - shorter shaft length, smaller diameter grips and lighter overall clubs. Probably almost a "senior" flex to them, but that is just an observation on my part.

I've got my wife's set at home - I can shoot some pictures comparing her clubs to mine if you'd like.

The reason I'm asking is that my wife has recently, in the last 3 yrs, taken up golf. I have played for about 30 yrs now, since I was about 8 yrs old. I treated myself with a new set of clubs recently, and handed down my old set to my wife. She hit's them pretty good. She asked me one day what the difference between mens and womans clubs are when she saw a set at Target. I didn't have a good answer for her. So that's why I asked.

I'm glad you did ask... It gives me a chance to use the camera for a few minutes out of the day.

The following are pictures taken of My clubs (Left side) and Her clubs (Right side) of each picture. All clubs are standard length store bought.

The first pictures are of my FT-3 vs. her SQ-W

These next two pictures ar of my FT-hybrid #3 vs. her TM rescue #4






The last set compares both of our 4 irons





After studying these pictures, it appears as if the small grip feeling I get is mainly from the SQ-W club and the Taylor Made club. Her irons have a pretty thick grip on them but that graphite makes everything very light.
