Select the best Golf Clubs for Seniors (Both Men and Women)

Shopping for Senior Golf Clubs (for Men and Women)

When shopping for any golf clubs, you can never underlook the importance of buying gear that will help you find success at the course. Whether it is a driver, irons, putter, or a box set, simply purchasing something that isn't tailored to your individual game, can leave your days on the golf course feeling awful. Believe it or not, senior golf clubs are specifically designed for senior golfers.

We tell our customers all the time, would you put water in your gas tank? They always say no, which is the obvious answer here. So, the next phase to this is, would you use golf clubs that aren't made for your swing speed? You see where we are going with this and it's related to our Senior Golf Clubs guide.

What Makes Senior Golf Clubs Special?

The technology that you find in senior golf clubs is hidden, as in, from a distance it's almost impossible to tell the difference between a regular club and a senior clubs. Sometimes senior clubs will have slightly different looking clubs, but the difference is the shaft.

The shaft flex on senior clubs is graphite. What is graphite? Graphite is a lightweight material that is more flexible than steel, and therefore it is more flexible, and generates more distance and swing speed.

Steel shafts are used by golfers who have a faster swing speed, as they do not need a graphite shaft to help them generate power.

The Technology in Golf Clubs for Senior Golfers

Golf is a sport that required incredible consistency, precision, and the finest details truly matter when you are playing. Just like mens clubs are made for men, and womens clubs are made for women, this is because a males and females swing and physical characteristics are different, and they require a special club to have success. Now, some females have incredibly strong swings and they use males clubs, which is absolutely perfect.

For senior golfers, the specific technology is also relevant. The technology is not only designed for a senior golfers specific swing mechanics, it's engineered to find success at slower swing speeds.

• Graphite Shafts: The graphite shafts is one of the most important technology aspects you find in senior golf clubs. A graphite shaft is designed for slower swing speeds and actually thrives with swing speeds between 60 to 80 miles per hour (that is a general rule of thumb). The graphite shafts are lighter, more flexible with slower swing speeds, and that allows for you to have a better launch behind your shots and generate a faster swing speed due to the lightweight material. Steel shafts are great for golfers who have a faster swing speed, but they are not good for golfers who swing at a slower speed.
• Forgiveness: The graphite is more foregiving and that allows for you to have success on all your shots, whether you shot is a little more heavier or even thiner.
• More Club Speed: Generating more club speed is a fantastic way to get more distance on your hits. The best way to allow for this to happen is by using a lighter club, which is where a graphite shaft comes into the picture. Naturall graphite is lighter than steel, so using a graphite club is all you need in order to generate more club speed. 
• Softer Feel: The graphite shaft has a naturally softer feel and can make your swing, follow through, and body feel a smooth swing, instead of a steel shaft that is not as good at absorbing impact. Your joints and body will love the feeling of graphite shafts.

Who should use Senior Golf Clubs?

This answer can be answered based on your swing speed. The faster your swing speed is, the less likely it is that you need a graphite shaft. On the opposite side of that is, the slower your swing speed, there is a greater chance that you will benefit from using graphite shafts.

• Average swing speed for graphite shafts: Senior golfers range between 60 and 80 miles per hour. This is a rule of thumb but within this swing speed range, you would most certainly benefit from senior clubs.

Another great aspect to senior clubs is that your joints and body will feel much better. This occurs because of the fact that graphite absorbs impact better than steel does, which in return, when you hit a golf ball the impact is less rigorous and impactful on your entire body. If you're at the golf course or range for a few hours, having more absorb impact can keep your body feeling great.
