Golf Iron Man

Truly, What's the difference between Men and Womens Golf Clubs?

I went to 2 golf shops and looked for clubs for my middle daughter. OMG! they had very few womens and even fewer left handed (that's for me). I can buy an off the rack set of mens clubs for a next ta nothing. I would suppose you could "customize" them to fit anyone. so tell me folks, what's the diff. Also, when did they start selling the Woods SEPARATE from the Irons? I know its been a while but WTH!?!?

The answer by Vegas Matt is largely correct except for the part about the extra weight being for the purpose of "generating more momentum, and thus more clubhead speed". The amount of momentum that a given golfer can transfer to the clubhead depends on the golfer's strength and technique. Increasing the weight does not increase the clubhead speed; it usually decreases it.

The reason why clubheads designed for women are slightly heavier is because women's clubs are typically built with shorter shafts. In order for the club to balance properly at the shorter length, the head must be slightly heavier. Golf club balance is a tricky and controversial subject, involving tradeoffs between total weight, balance point (which is influenced by the distribution of weight between the grip, shaft and clubhead), and moment of inertia (which, roughly speaking, is the resistance of an object to being rotationally accelerated; it is influenced by weight and length).

As an specific example of the weight difference, a typical man's 9-iron head weighs 283 grams, while a typical women's 9-iron head weighs 293 grams.
