Womens Hybrid Golf Clubs

Hybrid golf clubs seem to be all the rage of late… but like my dad says, if you can back up your bragging with proof, then it really isn’t bragging after all!

Both my dad and my husband are huge fans of the hybrid golf club but for me, who is still in the infancy stage of learning the game, I just couldn’t think that far ahead.

If you are one of my regular visitors you know by now that I am new to the game of ladies golf. As a beginning golfer, I have struggled to learn the game of golf and find myself learning more and more every time I am on the golf course.

When I first took up the game, my husband had an old set of his golf clubs cut down for me to use. But honestly that really didn’t work too well.

Then for my birthday he surprised me with my very own set of ladies golf clubs. What a difference I noticed right away! I definitely noticed that my swing was smoother and I was much less fatigued when I finished a round. Maybe it was just my imagination, but it seemed that with my new set of ladies golf clubs that the fairways were shorter and the greens seemed friendlier. The ladies golf clubs just seemed to fit me so much better than his old cut down set.

So I was happy for several weeks with my new golf clubs and I methodically began learning to use each of the clubs that came in my set. Continuing to be a student of the game, I find myself reading about golf, watching golf and talking about golf.

After a recent round of golf I was in the locker room and talking with several of the girls. One of them began to rave about the new hybrid golf club that she had purchased. We talked for several minutes about this wonderful club and I knew before I left that I would do some more reading and research to see if adding a hybrid golf club to my bag would be in my future.

A cross between an iron and a fairway wood, the hybrid golf club generally replaces one or more of the irons in your bag. I typically walk the golf course and being able to lighten my load by replacing a club or two, well, that sounds interesting to me.

Hybrid golf clubs are designed to perform well in various conditions. Hybrid golf clubs work well in the rough, where unfortunately I still find myself more often than I would like, they also work well off the tee and hybrids also work well when you are just off the fairway in the short grass, another pesky little place on the course when I can land a bit too often.

Hybrid golf clubs are designed for players of all levels. After a bit more research I found that there are hybrids designed to perform like a wood and feel like an iron.

Hybrid golf clubs like The Ping G51 Series for Women features a hybrid club with a shorter shaft and a strong steel face. I also appreciate the fact that this club is “designed expressly for the active, recreational golfer”. That’s me! How cool to have a club specifically designed for the recreational golfer. Let’s face it I am never going to make the LPGA Tour but I would like to be the best recreational golfer I can.

These hybrid clubs also promise to reduce pushed and sliced shots. Sounds good to me!

TaylorMade Womens r7 Draw Rescue Hybrid brags that their hybrid golf clubs act like hybrids, but with more forgiveness. Tour Edge also says their hybrid golf clubs actually look like a traditional club.

I can’t wait to try out each of these three options for hybrid golf clubs.

So since there are lots of opportunities throughout the year, anniversary, Christmas, “just because I love you” …well you get the picture, there are lots of opportunities for another golf gift from my wonderful husband.

Maybe this time, he will decide that a hybrid golf club is just the perfect gift for his loving beginning golfer!

Women’s Golf Clubs… My very own set of women’s golf clubs! What a wonderful gift from my loving husband who is also my golf instructor!

How was I to know that this golf gift would simply continue to feed into my new hunger for all things golf?

I love golf.

I devour the Golf for Women magazine trying to absorb all the tips, I watch the Travel channel extol the virtues of certain courses, and on Sunday afternoon you will find me on the couch watching the pros on television… certain that some of their expertise will somehow transfer to my game.

I am a beginning golfer and I am proud of that fact. Ok, I took up the age-old game for a totally selfish reason; to spend more time with my husband.

But a funny thing happened; I fell in love with the game. Something I certainly didn’t expect.

There were seemingly so many clubs in my new set of ladies golf clubs. Some of which I had never used before …like a driver! Of course, initially I was simply terrified of the driver. It is too big, it is too long, and it looks like a torture device.

How will I ever learn to use this thing?

It took the patience of my husband and a few lessons, but I am finally learning to conquer my fear and to use the drive… not well mind you, but at least I can make contact with the golf ball. With their patient explanations, I finally understood that just like my putter, the driver had a specific place in my golf bag.

Since I am a beginning golfer, the current technology of larger heads on the drivers, works well for me. It is very forgiving and while I am so early in the learning phase I am very grateful for this technology. To learn more, I decided to do a little research on some of the various types of golf drivers out there. I figure the more I learn the better off I am.

I learned that the NIKE Women’s Sasquatch is designed with a generous sweet spot and the PING G-5 has the largest head allowed. Others are designed to draw or fade the golf shot. It all depends on your needs.

The choices in women’s golf clubs are vast and it is important when searching for a driver that you research the options and most importantly you get fitted for the correct club.

While my driver is simply the one that came with my set, I can see that there are so many options out there for this specialty club. For right now I am going to just concentrate on learning to use the driver that came with my set of ladies golf clubs.

When I make solid contact with my driver, my golf shot goes higher and longer and just for that moment in time I can close my eyes and imagine that I can hear the crowds on the LPGA tour and they are cheering just for me. It never hurts a girl to dream, does it?
