For somebody unfamiliar with the game of golf, golf clubs all look the same. Every golf club is made from three parts. A rod, called a shaft, has a club head attached to one end and a grip at the other. Club head shapes determine how far and at what angle the ball will be propelled. With practice, a golf player will intuitively select the right club for each shot.
Most sets of golf clubs contain fourteen clubs, three or four of which are called woods, one putter, one to three wedges and as many as eight irons. Along with knowing the difference between the types of clubs, a player needs to understand the numbing system that is used to mark the club heads. The number is a measurement of the the loft, or how sharply upward that the ball is projected away from the ground. A lower number indicates that the ball will travel father than a club with a higher number.
Most golf clubs move golf balls both forward and upward at the same time. A putter, the club used most often in golf, is an exception to this rule. It moves the ball along the ground with a rolling motion. The primary differences between putters is the length of the shaft, generally slightly less than three feet long. The club heads on putters are either blades or mallets with flat bottoms.
Woods are the clubs with the greatest ability to propel the ball. An experienced player can hit the ball at least two hundred feet. Once made from the wood that they were named for, modern woods are usually made from metal alloys such as steel. Other woods are made from hollow carbon fiber and titanium. These heads are round with flat bottoms, making it easy to move the ball nearly parallel to the grass. The loft is also very low compared to other clubs. The low loft and flat bottom make it the best choice for shooting the ball a long distance. A 1-wood, called a “driver”, is best for long distances, due to its low loft. When golfing on a tee or in the fairway, a wood with a higher number is appropriate.
Like the woods, an iron was originally made from the substance it was made from. However, today’s irons are made from steel, a much stronger metal. Irons have a medium loft. They are appropriate for shooting the ball under two hundred feet. 1-iron and 2-iron are harder for inexperienced players to use, so are not generally included in a standard selection of golf clubs. Most sets will have irons starting with 3 and go as high as 9, with higher lofts and less distance.
Wedges are generally used to lift the ball up, rather than moving them forward. They have an unusually high loft, making them the best club for moving the ball out of sand or grass. They generally do not move the ball more than one hundred and ten to one hundred and thirty feet forward, making them inefficient for moving very far. The most commonly used wedge is the pitching wedge with loft of under 50 feet. This club is found in most sets. Lob wedges have a slightly higher loft and gap wedges have the highest loft at as much as 64 degrees.
The United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A) are two international organizations that now are responsible for determining which clubs may be used in competitive golf. As styles and newer materials are introduced, rules may be adapted in order to keep competition fair. Guidelines for which clubs are allowed change as newer materials become available for golf club construction. In order to ensure that your clubs will be considered acceptable, never forget to check the most latest guidelines before purchasing golf clubs.
