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.

The XL Iron gives you incredible resistance training both in your back swing and through swing while it teaches you to keep the club face square at all times. Because the XL Iron only has one blade versus earlier resistance training aids that had four blades, it forces you to square the club face up at impact correctly every time. The extreme size of the XL Iron's club face gives you the heightened visual awareness of the club face angle. You will be keeping the club face square while building tremendous power in your golf swing through repetitions with the XL Iron. Instructional DVD Golf Fitness Workout Poster Included. |

Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Set $1099.95 Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Set Scratch AR-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The AR-1 irons are designed to offer maximum playability and forgiveness in a cavity back with the looks of a traditional muscle back blade at address. The center of gravity is in the center of the face and further back towards the trailing edge. The cavity design is progressive and has a lower COG in the long irons to help get the ball in the air. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch AR-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today. The raw heads are then ground and finished completely by hand. The end result is the finest hand made forged traditional cavity back irons in golf, customized for your game. The headshape of the AR-1 irons was inspired by Scratch's work with Tour Pros from around the globe. Specific attention was paid to the transition from the middle irons to the short irons to assure perfect flow throughout the set from the 3 iron down to the PW. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Grooves The AR-1 irons feature our new 2010 "Condition of Competition" legal V grooves. These grooves are legal for play in any tournament in the world so you never have to worry about taking your favorite set of Scratch irons out of the bag because the groove rule has changed. These grooves are designed to have the maximum amount of groove surface while still adhering to the new USGA rules. This reduces flier lies and provides more consistent spin and performance. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Finish AR-1 irons feature Scratch?s Brushed Satin finish. This finish provides the durability of chrome with a duller surface to help eliminate glare. The minimal stampings of the AR-1 irons provide a very clean look unique to the Scratch Golf brand and allow for personal stampings to be added to customize the clubs for the player. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch Golf AR-1 irons feature the KBS Tour as our standard shaft. These shafts are designed by legendary shaft designer Kim Braley and are the culmination of his years of shaft design experience. These shafts have a slightly higher launch angle but a more boring ballflight overall. This makes them easier to swing and more forgiving while also giving them better ballflight into the wind. They feature a consistent taper design in a stepped shaft and are more workable and have better feel on partial shots |

Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Set $1099.95 Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Set Scratch Golf EZ-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The EZ-1 irons are designed for absolute maximum forgiveness in a one piece forged head. The center of gravity is very low and far back towards the trailing edge. The blade is longer from heel to toe and the weight is pushed far out towards the edges of the club. This makes the EZ-1 irons as forgiving as any of the larger oversized irons on the market today. Despite their extreme forgiveness and playability the EZ-1 irons retain a traditional look at address with a thin topline and classic shape. Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Heads Scratch EZ-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today. The raw heads are then ground and finished completely by hand. The end result is the finest hand made forged traditional cavity back irons in golf, customized for your game.

Tattoos on My Soul $149.49 Looking into the head and heart of a man who rose above a life of narcotics, violence, and fast money to become someone with his own voice and dreams, this memoir humanizes the dilemma many youngsters face today and underscores the role the streets play as both proving ground and educational institution. By the age of 9, Buddy Burrel was a millionaire with his own flourishing crime empire, having followed in the footsteps of his iron-willed, often-brutal father, a West-Side Chicago kingpin. A gang chief in the powerful Vice Lords family at the age of 11, Burrel attracted the attention of Tony Big Tuna Accardo, an infamous boss of the Chicago outfit, under whose tutelage he rose to become a serious player at the age of 16. Yet after realizing he had the wherewithal to lead a different life, Burrel turned from ghetto grit--his father's house, the gangs, the hard drugs, and the streets--to glitz and glamour. Immersed in a world of coast-to-coast living, golf, gambling, and entrepreneurism, populated with idiosyncratic characters and underscored by a painful emotional awakening, he eventually broke away from the dark side with his spirit, heart, and hopefulness intact. |

The Ben Trovato (mis)Guide to Golf $13.3 Ben Trovato, the man who inadvertently managed to incur the wrath of gay men, feminists, transvestites, former soldiers, fishermen, and the Spanish within a frighteningly short span of time, now turns his attention to golf. In this entertaining and informative collection of anecdotes, Trovato tackles such vexing matters as a man's right to boff a cheating opponent on the noggin with a five iron, the appropriate moment to whip out your wood in front of a player of the fairer sex, and whether or not there is a market for a six-cylinder, V8 golf cart. |

The Clicking of Cuthbert $32.95 This book marks an epoch in my literary career. It is written in blood. It is the outpouring of a soul as deeply seared by Fate's unkindness as the pretty on the dog-leg hole of the second nine was ever seared by my iron. It is the work of a very nearly desperate man, an eighteen-handicap man who has got to look extremely slippy if he doesn't want to find himself in the twenties again. A collection of tales of the fine and ancient sport of golf, including The Clicking of Cuthbert, A Woman Is Only a Woman, A Mixed Threesome, Sundered Hearts, The Salvation of George Mackintosh, Ordeal by Golf, The Long Hole, The Heel of Achilles, The Rough Stuff, and The Coming of Gowf. |
