Golf Clubs - An Introduction
Overview
Thinking about buying new golf clubs? It's important to start with some research. This guide is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to understand what they're purchasing.
Types of Golf Clubs
Golf clubs are categorized into four main types: woods, hybrids, irons, and putters. Wedges, similar to irons but with more angled club heads, are also essential. A golfer can carry up to fourteen clubs during a round.
While you can hit different shots using one club by altering swing speed and direction, maintaining a consistent swing while using different clubs for varying distances and shots is more effective. Irons, along with many woods and wedges, come in sets graded by loft, shaft length, and weight. Clubs are numbered, with smaller numbers indicating lower lofts (e.g., a 5 iron has less loft than a 6 iron).
Understanding Loft
Loft is the angle between a vertical plane and the clubface when at rest. It plays a crucial role in making a golf ball rise, not the upward motion of a swing. Except for the tee shot, clubs typically hit the ball in a horizontal or slightly downward motion.
The clubface compresses the ball on impact, with grooves creating backspin. This spin, combined with the ball's rebound, provides lift. Generally, the higher the loft, the higher and shorter the ball's trajectory.
Club Set Composition
Traditionally, a set included 3 woods, 2 wedges, a putter, and 8 irons, plus a pitching wedge. However, golf technology has evolved. Nowadays, many players replace longer irons with higher lofted woods, known as fairway woods, and additional utility wedges. Manufacturers have adjusted iron lofts, making them seem to hit farther; today’s 3 iron has a loft like a 2 iron from years ago.
