In doing some quick research myself, I heard 5' 10" tends to be the average.
Here's an add on: I'm 6' 4" do they sell beginner club sets for my height?

The ideal length of your Golf clubs actually depends on both your height AND the length of your arms. In order to correctly identify the length that you need, you need stand upright and measure the distance from your wrist to the floor. I'm 6'1" and measure 38" from wrist to floor. My clubs are 1" longer than standard.
As for the 2nd question, I don't think you'll find any clubs that fit you correctly on the shelf as all I've ever seen are standard length and lie. Being 6'4" you'll likely need something longer than standard but can have them custom built at most golf shops. Changing the length generally costs about $10/club but it'll keep you from developing bad habits from using clubs that are too short. Another option (and probably cheaper) would be to find a used set that is already longer than standard.
Well that depends on your height. The standard measurement for the proper club length uses your height and the "wrist-to-floor" distance. With this measurement and your height, you can determine the correct club length for you. For example, Male Height - 6.0' Wrist to Floor - 36" Your club length should be +.25 " longer than standard length. If you visit a golf shop they should be able to help properly measure your length.
The switch from junior clubs to mens clubs is based around height, swing speed, and ability. If the junior has been playing a while, has grown to over 5'2 and has a swing speed of over 70mph, then its time to them into mens clubs.
Depends how old and how tall they are. From about 13 most youths would play mens clubs, but smaller youths could get ladies or junior clubs which are shorter and lighter. There is the option of getting a set of mens clubs custom fitted, but then they may grow out of them quickly.
You could use mens' clubs, but the best thing to do is to go and get custom fit. This way they can find the ideal length of club for you, maybe mens' clubs with a couple of inches taken off them. It depends how old you are, if you are still growing i wouldn't advise custom fitting, maybe just a second hand set of clubs which you could get cut down.
They would not be the best set of clubs on the market, however they would be of a decent enough standard.
why cannot the entries for the mens us golf open be listed
plus fours
ther is no difference except for women who get more hits and the target is closer and easier to get.While mens are opposite
There is no difference.
Get whatever you want to get! You will find the best thing to do is get custom fit, this will tell you what clubs are best for your game. You are quite short, so you may need to get an inch or so taken off the length of the clubs.
Yes, there is no problem with this. Women's club are very light with very whippy shadfts and the club heads have a lot more loft than mens' clubs. All these help get the ball in the air easier. They are also a little shorter, as generally women aren't as tall as men. Another problem with ladies clubs is the grips are very thin, and too small for a man with average size hands. Ladies clubs are not really built for distance, so you may be better with mens clubs. If I could offer you a suggestion. Simply get mens' clubs that suit you. If you are small height wise- you could get custom fit, in this process the right shaft would be found for you, as well as a club head with a reasonable loft for you. The lie angle can also be adjusted to allow you to get the best from your clubs. If you struggle getting the ball in the air, you could get a whippy shaft, and even get loft added to the irons.
It depends on who you are donating them to, mens clubs are longer and usually heavier, the majority of them have steel shafts which are less flexible than the graphite shafts which are usually found on womens clubs. Many women would find it hard to hit mens clubs well because as mentioned, they usually have stiffer shafts which make it harder to get the ball off the ground and they sometimes have less loft which also makes it harder to get the ball airborne. Mens clubs are longer so it may be too long for the woman and she would have to customise her swing to hit it well which is not good. Some women prefer woods or hybrids as they have a lower centre of gravity which makes it easier to get the ball off the ground. If a man got a womans club i wouldn't suggest they use them as the shafts could be too whippy and they would not get the best from them. Clubs for men and women are designed specifically for the different users so they can get the best from them, younger golfers may find womens clubs useful as they are shorter and they can grow into mens clubs.
