Golf club classification

Playing golf is a relatively common type of sport, which is mainly played outdoors or in special places. In daily life, it is a ball sport that uses a club to put the ball into holes. It is mainly for enjoying the fun of nature, while ensuring the balance of force. When playing golf, you must also pay attention to the choice of clubs and some other safety aspects.

There are many types of golf clubs, and they are mainly selected based on the material and other aspects. Golf clubs are mainly basic equipment for golf. They are mainly made of different materials and have different uses. They can also be made into different shapes. Let us introduce the types of golf clubs below.

Wooden pole

The reason why a wooden pole is called a wooden pole is because the pole heads used to be made of wood, and the earliest one was made of red persimmon wood. Because wood expands when exposed to water, golf clubs used in the rain were sent to pro shops for maintenance in the early days; later they evolved to be made of different materials. Iron, stainless steel, carbon fiber and titanium are all used. The most popular club material is probably titanium. In addition to not requiring time-consuming maintenance, titanium has a stronger rebound effect and can be hit farther. Many golf courses today are unable to increase the length and distance, so there are certain specifications for the rebound coefficient of wood clubs used by professional players. The USGA stipulates that the rebound coefficient should not exceed 0.83. In addition to the No. 1 wood for teeing off, there are also No. 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 fairway woods. For girls, 3 and 4 woods are more difficult to hit, so the 7 or 9 woods with higher elevation angles were introduced.

Hybrid

A hybrid club is a golf club between an iron club and a wood club. It is called a hybrid club or an iron club.

Hardcore

Irons are divided into long, medium and short irons. Long irons usually refer to No. 3 and No. 4. 5, 6 and 7 are medium irons, and short irons are 8, 9 and 10. Recently, fewer and fewer people use long irons, and most of them use chicken drumsticks instead. Long irons are usually difficult to hit high and are prone to hooking the ball. Long irons come in handy when you encounter a strong headwind because of their shallow angle. There are two different designs of iron club heads: blade back and cavity back. The blade back type has a higher center of gravity, and it is not easy to get the feeling of the club head being released; while the cavity back type has a lower center of gravity, and some even have an ultra-low center of gravity. The bottom is heavier and the sweet spot is larger, so it is easier to hit the ball and can be hit higher. Nowadays, the concave back type is more common in the market. Short clubs include pitching wedge (P), wedge (A) and sand wedge (S). Professional players are usually more particular about short clubs, and they even divide them into different angles, such as 52 degrees, 53 degrees, 60 degrees and so on. Different angles can produce different ball heights and different degrees of rotation. For amateur players, wedges and sand wedges are usually shared. No. 10 is approximately equal to P, and No. 11 is equal to A (with a larger angle).

Putter

The earliest putters were mostly designed to be L-shaped. Nowadays, there are still a few professional players who use the traditional L-shaped putter. Later, the PING Putter has developed into two balls or even three balls, horseshoe-shaped and cone-shaped putters, all kinds of putters that can make people feel balanced.

Golf clubs are mainly classified according to materials and some other reasons. There are mainly wood clubs, iron clubs, iron clubs and putters. Playing golf has many benefits. At the same time, the choice of golf clubs in daily life is also a critical factor for golf and hitting the ball. In daily life, you must pay attention to safety and do not swing in places where there are people, because the material of golf clubs is also very dangerous to people.
