How do golf clubs work? This is a question that some of you may be asking. Golf clubs have three main parts: the Head, the Shaft, and the Grip. The Head of the golf club is the part of the club where you hit the ball. Golf club heads are made from many materials, including zinc and aluminum alloys. The golf club shaft is the long pole connected to the Head. The pole is long because when you swing the golf club, it gains momentum, so when the Head of the club hits the ball, it transfers the momentum to the ball. The grip is pretty self-explanatory. It is a piece of rubber that gives you a grip to swing the club and not have it fly out of your hands.
There are five types of clubs: the Woods, the hybrids, the irons, the wedges, and the putters. The differences between the clubs are the heads and how far you can hit the ball.
Woods are large hollow-headed golf clubs used for hitting long shots. Most golfers use a wood to hit off the tee.
Hybrids combine a fairway wood head design with an iron-length shaft. The idea is to give the golfer a more forgiving option compared to long irons, which are more difficult to hit.
Irons are used when you are less than 200 yards from the hole. The closer you are to the green, the higher the iron you will use. A standard set of irons consists of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 irons and the pitching wedge.
The first wedge is the pitching wedge, which usually has a 46-48-degree angle, also known as loft. Wedges generally increase in increments of 4-degree loft, so wedges commonly come in 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64-degree lofts.
A putter is a golf club with a special purpose: getting the ball into the hole. It is used on the green, and there are many styles of putters: short, belly, long, bent, center-hosel, heel-toe, mallet, and so on.
