My wife is 5'10" and quite strong. Would senior golf clubs be a better fit than ladies clubs?
defiantly the senior clubs are the Better choice. senior clubs have a slightly higher kick point in their shafts than women's. this will improve accuracy. senior irons also have stronger lofts than women's clubs, this equals more distance. the 3 and four possibly 5 iron may be harder to hit due to strong lofts. a hi bird would be a perfect replacement for your wife. since she is stronger, therefore more athletic. senior shafts much better quality shafts than used in women's clubs. with added strength your wife may well have the strength to Control a 58 to 60 degree sand/lob wedge. there is no doubt go with the senior clubs. more brands. a good custom fitter which is hard to ind would recommend senior shafts. have had the experience of purchasing a senior set at a flea market. must be 7 years ago. the lady who tried these bought them still using them. more than happy. right choice.

What you may want to do is have your wife fitted for clubs by a professional who does club fitting. You then have the club which best fits her swing and her strength. Any other method is a guess which may turn out good or bad.
