What are the recommended or typical weights for ladies’ clubs? Do head weights differ? I would imagine they would be C0-C4, with the shorter length alone. Take, for example, the KE4 MAX irons. The 8 iron head is 274 grams with an 8 gram weight. Would you typically replace that with a 2 or 4 gram weight if building a ladies’ set?

I get to a C2.8 (on paper) with a 36″ KE4 MAX 8 iron (stock weight), Maltby Maxflex SF+ shaft, and Golf Pride CP2 Wrap undersize grip. Would that be a fairly typical build for a beginner woman golfer who is 5’5″ tall?

With the shorter club lengths and lighter shafts, swing weights and total weights will be lighter. We generally will not lighten head weights unless at the shorter lengths and with the lighter shafts the clubs still feel too heavy for the player. You can, but we rarely find the need too. I really have never cared what the swing weight ends up being, just as long as it is consistent within the set and the player can feel the head during the swing. I get the same C2.8 with the components and head weight you list using the calculator we use, and that is fine. Short lengths with ultra light shafts with usually get you to the low to mid C range swing weights with standard head weights.
