Hello you fantastic ladies!!
I am a relatively new golfer but a quick learner. It's been about 8 months since I've picked it up with some private coaching for my dad who's quite good. I haven't hit the courses yet because my dad refuses to take me until I'm more consistent with my irons and short game.
I am currently playing with the women's Wilson profile sgi complete set. When I was at the range yesterday, I made a joke to my dad saying I needed some new clubs and it's why I was hitting so off as a joke. What we realized later on is that my swing speed is possibly too fast for the clubs. My swing speed is about 125mph at the moment. After trying out my dad's clubs I was hitting straighter and further.
We are now thinking that I'll need to slowly build up my collection of other clubs, specifically with a stiffer shaft. Since I am still new and never thought I'd need to consider new clubs anytime soon, I have yet to do any research. I've just started looking around but I don't know what I'm looking for.
My main question is: how do I know which shaft is for me? Do I need to get fitted? Do I just buy one and see if I like it enough? I'm also quite short. About 5'1. I know that there's a specific way to measure your clubs using your wrist to floor distance(?). Do I need to buy a specific petite sized shaft?
All advice is appreciated!! Thank you all!
Edit: thank you all for the helpful comments! I will find the time to go on the course myself. I'll look into a coach and custom fitting for the future.
