Where golf clubs are made is an often asked question and here is the answer on where lady golf clubs are made. First a little history. The game of golf is thought to have been started in Scotland in the late 1400s although there are unproven rumors of earlier games having taken place in Denmark. It's a game that is played worldwide and people spend lots of time and money to get the best equipment to improve the quality of their game. Choosing the correct lady golf clubs is essential to playing well and knowing how to choose a proper lady golf set is

essential to a successful start. Lets take a look on how and where golf clubs are made. Golfers generally have a good idea of what shaft they want. However, getting a professional opinion could make a very big difference in game performance. It's better to be fit by a professional club fitter who will take into account unique personal factors.

Points to consider when selecting include flex, bend point, and to lesser degree, torque. Therefore you have to know how and where golf clubs are made. Shaft manufacturing has gone through many stages and materials to reach its present day models. Originally shafts were primarily made of hickory in small wooden factories, and it wasn't until 1896 that steel shafts were introduced. It took 30 years for hickories to be replaced entirely.

In 1927 The American Fork and Hoe Company (True Temper) patented a process of making step downs in the steel shafts which became the industry standard until the early 1960s. Then the High Frequency Welding breakthrough shaft technology totally altered shaft making, a process in metal factories of permanently joining the metal and doesn't need to incorporate a second material.

Flex is the relative shaft rigidity, the resistance to bending. Flex influences swing speed and distance. There are:

• L-flex for lady golf clubs,
• A-flex senior,
• R-flex regular,
• S-flex stiff,
• and X-flex extra stiff.

Torque is the amount of twisting the shaft can carry by the energy of the swing. It directly relates to the force of the impact of the lady golf club face with the golf ball. The lower the torque, the more it will feel stiff in the tip. Torque was considered a factor in fitting. That's no longer the case.

Golf club heads have one face which contacts the ball during the stroke. Each club is allowed two striking faces as long as they are the same. On some putters and chippers it is designed this way so that it can be used by left or right-handed players.

Back to where golf clubs are made. The older heads were made primarily of persimmon and maple with the occasional metal sole and/or faceplate in little backyard barns. They were thicker, heavier and smaller. It was difficult to find the optimal striking area due to the smaller surface area.

TaylorMade Golf founder Gary Adams introduced the modern metal wood in the late 1970s, but it took another decade before metals became popular and was not used by many PGA Tour players until well into the 1990s.

Metal woods have a larger faceplate, with a greater sweetspot. Manufacturers have gone high-tech introducing Computer Aided Design to make ladies clubs adding finite refinements.
Well, now you know how and where golf clubs are made.
