Golf Club Introduction

Nowadays, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and many people are exposed to the sport of golf. Golf is actually a relatively leisurely sport. If you want to learn golf, you should first understand some knowledge about golf clubs, because golf clubs have high requirements for this sport and require targeted clubs, so as a beginner in golf clubs, you need to learn more.

First of all, we need to know some classification knowledge of golf clubs, because each club hits the ball differently. If you want to hit a long ball or a short ball, the clubs used are different. It is because of these specificities that everyone needs to know more.

1. Wood club: The wood club is mainly used to hit the ball long distance. It is characterized by a long shaft and a light club head. Although modern drivers have always been called wood clubs, in fact more than 70% of drivers are made of metal. Wood clubs are usually divided into No. 1 wood (Driver), fairway woods: No. 3 wood, No. 4 wood, No. 5 wood, No. 7 wood, and No. 9 wood. The smaller the number, the longer the shaft length and the lighter the weight; conversely, the larger the number, the shorter the shaft length and the heavier the weight.

2. Iron rod: usually made of stainless steel or soft iron, and there are two production methods: casting and forging. Irons are mostly used on the fairway or when teeing off on a par-3 hole, and they focus primarily on stability rather than distance. The average distance for a men's seven-iron is 150 yards, while for women it is around 100 yards. The irons included in the set are: 2-iron to 9-iron, P-iron and S-iron. Some brands (such as HONMA) also have 10-iron or 11-iron. Women rarely use the 2-iron and usually start with the 4-iron or 5-iron. From the perspective of distance: 2, 3, 4, and 5 irons are long irons, 6, 7, and 8 irons are mid-irons, and 8, 9, P, S, and A are short irons.

3. Wedges: P, S, and A are the abbreviations of the English names of wedges, all of which belong to the category of short clubs, also called special irons. Its characteristics are a shorter iron body, a heavier swing weight than an iron club, a large club face inclination angle (45-60 degrees), and a rebound angle. Mainly used around the green and when saving the ball from a bunker or long grass. Wedges are divided into pitching wedge (PW), relay wedge (GW), sand wedge (SW) and lob wedge (LW) according to their characteristics.

4. Putter: A putter is a special club used to push the ball toward the hole on the green. The putter shaft is relatively short and the maximum inclination angle does not exceed 5 degrees. There are mainly two types: strip shape (also called knife back shape) and hammer head shape.

The above is an introduction to some knowledge about golf clubs. I believe that after reading it, you will have a better understanding of golf clubs. For some beginners of golf, first of all, you need to learn more about the sport. This will help you to better learn the sport. Everyone should remember this.
