The concept of Ladies drivers can seem like an old style phrase. However, for female golfers it can be very useful to have a driver made specifically for you. Though clubs tend to have androgenous technology, the fit of a Ladies driver is tailored to women: they tend to be lighter and a bit smaller in the grip area. TaylorMade has devoted an entire line of clubs to women. These are the Kalea Series.

What to look for in a Driver

Drivers have the same basic needs no matter if they are designed for men or women. They have four main areas that allow a golfer to quantify their reliability. These areas are distance, forgiveness, swing/feel, and accuracy/control. While there can be other factors, these are the top four when testing or reviewing a driver. Many reviews of women’s drivers will comment on the look of the club: not the look at address, which can affect play, but the look itself. While the Kalea 3 driver is aesthetically pleasing, the fundamental facts of the club are what are the most important.

The Facts

• Distance: The distance on this particular women’s driver is decent. The driver was designed with more of reliability that is measured across the board. As such, the design is made for a standard distance and not a far-reaching flight.
• Forgiveness: The forgiving nature of all TaylorMade drivers is extended into the Kalea 3 driver. 
• Swing/Feel: As stated, a women’s driver will give a smaller grip area and will tend to be lighter. These are readily available technologies in Ladies drivers. The Kalea 3 Driver has a much softer grip. This is perfect for golfers who tend to over grip the club. It also assists with helping the ball to achieve a good flight from it’s lie.
• Accuracy/Control: As with all TaylorMade Drivers, the Kalea is accurate off the tee. While it isn’t designed specifically for accuracy, they have ensured that none is lost.

In the End

The Kalea 3 Driver is mean to assist women golfers with carrying the ball further down the fairway. This isn’t to say that the flight of the ball is going to generate jaw dropping distances. Instead, it is meant to assist with players who have trouble getting the ball to carry. This is a problem many newer players face: prior to the experience of being able to swing and lift the ball off the tee.

The Kalea has been a standard women’s driver for many years. It’s standard because of its stability and consistency. There is very little that changes with these drivers. A few pieces of technology or aesthetic may change but very little is every adjusted. This allows for female golfers to replace their Kalea with an updated version that retains the same feel. It’s not an easy thing to accomplish: especially as technology and materials progress. No matter what you are looking for, the Kalea is an excellent club choice. It can be used by a wide variety of players and is able to achieve many of the same results as comparison products.
