Will this be the year you finally overhaul your bag and invest in new clubs? If so, you couldn't have picked a better time. From supersize, long-hitting, high-launching drivers to optically enhanced putters that allow you to line up your putts more accurately, today's clubs can help make your scores plummet.
To assist us in evaluating the latest equipment, we enlisted 11 women of different playing abilities to test most of the products on store shelves this season and give us their feedback. Consider it a starting point, then try demos of the new clubs yourself and see how technology can boost your game.
