Women’s Golf Club Fitting: What You Need to Know
Custom club fitting has become the norm across the golf industry — and that includes women golfers of all skill levels. At Bob VanSweden Golf, we fit everyone from beginner players to single-digit handicappers and professionals. Still, many women aren’t aware of just how valuable a proper club fitting can be — or assume the process isn’t designed with them in mind. Let’s break down what to expect and why a fitting could be a game-changer for your golf journey.
What to Expect from a Women’s Club Fitting
Our fittings are brand-agnostic and powered by a massive matrix of over 50,000 clubhead and shaft combinations. That means you won’t be limited to just a few stock options — you’ll be able to test a wide range of clubs, shafts, and grips that truly match your swing and feel preferences.
During your fitting, you’ll compare your current clubs to custom-fit options, working side-by-side with a master fitting professional who understands the nuances of women’s equipment needs and swing dynamics. Beyond finding the right gear, a fitting also helps you gain a better understanding of your game and how equipment impacts performance.
Why Custom Fitting Matters for Women Golfers
1. Not Every Woman Needs a "Ladies" Shaft
Many women default to a ladies flex shaft, assuming it’s the best fit — but flex alone doesn’t tell the full story. Factors like shaft weight, torque, and kick point are just as critical. Our fittings make sure you’re matched with a shaft that performs best for your swing.
2. Club Length Should Be Personalized
Standard women's clubs are designed for a specific height range — but not all players fall within that range. Taller or shorter golfers can benefit significantly from clubs that are sized precisely to their body dimensions and posture.
3. Set Makeup Should Fit Your Game
There’s no one-size-fits-all set anymore. Whether you benefit more from hybrids, higher-lofted woods like a 7-wood, or additional wedges, your set should be built to support your style of play — not just what's offered off the rack.
