Ladies Love Golf

For those of you old timers out there, I have a question concerning an old golf club! Around 1978, the golf brand Powerbilt came out with a series of womens golf clubs, also known as the "countess" series. I have a Powerbilt Countess 3 wood, and after doing some research and searches on ebay, I found that there are two different makes of the club(s). On the club i have, on the top of the club face it says Powerbilt, and countess on the bottom. On the other model it says Countess on top of the club face, and Powerbilt on the bottom. So they’re pretty much opposites. What is the difference in these 2 models? I will post 2 links below so you can have a better understanding of what im talking about. Any information or links to other web sites will be greatly appreciated!

JOEY, IT SEEMS THAT THE CLUBS REFER TO THE CODE FOR WOMENS CLUBS AND MEN’S.
I BELIEVE THE COMPANY IS STILL IN EXISTENCE ACCORDING TO EBAY. UNDER THE LAST PAGE OF THE CLUB PICTURES IS A REPORT FROM EBAY ABOUT THE COMPANY.

Well personally, i don’t care how new you are to golf, you should have every club in the bag, so that crosses out the Cobras. From then on the two Adams sets are both good. It’s whether or not you want to pay an extra $300 dollars for more quality clubs (They wouldn’t cost more if they wasn’t better). I would go with the IDEA A70s but if your more pressed for cash you can get the Tight Lines Plus and invest in a better set a few years down the road when your game improves. Hope my advice helps.

I want a good pair of golf clubs, but they cant cost too much. i cant go higher than $200 but i want a good full set of womens clubs.

your not going to get a very good set for $200 thats about the cheapest you could get. but ram makes clubs around that range so that would be you best bet because they make the best clubs for the lowest price

I thought gender was just a social construct? What difference could it possibly make that this athlete was born male? And why is this Old Girls’ Club so sexist?

"Back in 2008, Lana Lawless crushed the competition in a women’s long-drive golf world championship – smacking a drive 254 yards into a headwind.
She may have had some help from her chromosomes.
Until 2005, Lawless was a man – a retired police officer who went in for transgender surgery.
After her big win, Lawless was banned from Long Drivers of America. LDA adopted the LPGA’s rule that competitors must be born female.
Lawless is suing.
“It’s an issue of access and opportunity,” Lawless told the New York Times. “I’ve been shut out because of prejudice.”"

Men and women have different body composition. A sex change only applies to your reproductive organs, which have no bearing on your golf ability. A woman with a man’s body composition has an advantage – different centre of gravity, strength, etc.

I have been looking around and have narrowed my mind down to these two women’s golf sets. I am just looking for something cheap and decent to get me started.

Which one do you think is better for a beginner golfer? Do you have any other set suggestions in the price range of 300$?

you should try them and decide yourself, it’s the only way to really know
and you should consider going for regular clubs (for men)
to some women they are better
Like myself, I started playing golf 2 years ago with some old taylormade women golf clubs and they didn’t worked with me, later on a pro told me those clubs weren’t right for me that I needed men clubs.
I am now the proud owner of a callaway diablo golf set.
the best buy I’ve ever made hahah
but really you should try trhem to know

so i wanted to start golf this summer, and have no idea what type of clubs i need. i want to buy a set because thats what my parents are willing to buy me. I am a teenage girl, about 5 foot 7. I figured i would buy a used set of craigs list just incase i didnt like golf after i started. I found a set that i could get shipped to me, but i just wanted to make sure it was an OK beginner set. I dont no if there is a major difference btwn mens and womens sets but i think this is a mens set? thanks so much!

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/spo/1713845926.html

which set would be best for me, and a set where i wouldnt need to buy more clubs?
yes, i am right handed
are the one i origanly picked out even decent? will they get me through the basics of learning (just to see if i even like the sport) ???

Option #3 The TaylorMades this set will do you fine you even get 2 x putters

I’m a 11 year old golfer hoping to find out how to get some more juice on my woods hybrids and driver. I averaged with my driver around 125 yards so I guess you figure I cant hit my other clubs very far. most of the time on a par 4 yardage 300 yards It would it would take me 3 shots to get up to the green or around it. If I could get my shots farther then I could seriously lower my score. I averaged mid 50s on 9 holes when ever I play at my local golf course. The golf courses yardage is 5047 off of the womens tees. Thanks for answering.

strenth and power does not matter on how far the ball goes…
your body position is the most important thing.

This is my Current Set of Clubs
Driver: 09′ Women’s Burner with a "L" shaft (10.5)
3 Wood: 09′ Women’s Burner with a "L" shaft
5 Wood: 07′ Womens Burner with a "L" shaft
Hybrid: 09′ Womens Burner with a "L" shaft (24 degrees)
Irons: Mizuno MP-62 with regular lightweight steel shafts (4-PW)
Wedges: Some 15 yr. old "Yonex" wedges with lady shafts
Putter: Rife Bimini Blade Putter (recently sold my Scotty)
Ball: Titleist Pro V1

I am 14 years old, practice avidly and play five to six times a week off a 10 index. I purchased all my golfing equipment with my own money from working in the summer. I am thinking about purchasing new woods because I am striping all of my regular shafted irons but am hooking or snap hooking my driver and to a lesser extent, my 3 and 5 woods. This is kind off extreme, but When I tried my friends Cobra S91 Pro D stiff shaft I hit every drive perfectly straight. (I know a stiff shaft probably isn’t right though.)

I purchased my woods two years ago when I was too short and weak to buy mens clubs. While I am still relatively short (5’4") I can swing the club much faster than I could before. I swing my 6-iron about 78mph and my driver about 86mph. On a straight hit my 6 iron will carry about 145 and my driver will carry about 210. If I buy new woods I will either buy the Titleist D3 or the Nike Victory Red Tour (I like a smaller club-head). If I buy new wedges I will either buy Titleist or Cleavland (52, 58, and maybe 64 depending on if I keep my hybrid in the bag)

My Budget for this bag overhaul is not huge, but i did manage to collect about $1200 over the last few years. That being said, I do not want to blow all of it if I do not have to.
I forgot to mention that I also hit a regular shaft farther than a womens shaft with my woods.
Thank you everyone for your advice. I think I will switch out the wedges, but just get two of them, then I will buy a new driver. Also about the Pro-V. I have tried dozens of golf ball, but I always seem to come back to the Pro-V because I hate puring a shot and having it roll of the back. Also the course that I play at has many forced caries into greens to I need some bite. It also gives me confidence which is invaluable in this game

Kev from the detail contained in your question you seem to have a really good handle on things for your age and have already demonstrated that you can make learned decisions for yourself. You are probably wise to attend a club demo day at a local driving range so that u can suss out a few shaft options before you buy. As suggested in another thread upgrading your wedges say 52* 56* & 60* would be a priority as they are your scoring clubs. With the change from your budget you might shop around for a used driver with a regular shaft and 460cc head (more yardage).
Your liking for the Pro V is no doubt because you like its’ feel on your wedges, chips and putts. Titleist SoLo, Maxfli Noodle and Precept Laddie will probably go further on your full shots than the Pro V.

intermediate as in i know how to play golf, just always looking for improvement. if not these, can you suggest others, sets or single clubs

Adams makes very high quality clubs, and if you are in fact an intermadiate player as you say you are, then they’ll be great for you. Besides, buying these will save you quite a bit of money. But, in addition to these clubs, I would buy two wedges, a 54 or 56 degree and a 60 degree, that weren’t originally part of an iron set and take the sand wedge and chipper given to you in the set out of your bag. The Titleist Vokeys are always phenomenal, and the Cleveland CG15 wedges are great, too. I recommend you don’t use the wedges or the chipper in the set because they probably won’t have either the versatility or the spin that individual wedges have. Also, find a putter you like, if you don’t already have one. Have fun with your new clubs, have fun improving, and good luck.
