Golf clubs are available in different categories. As a beginner or a pro, your performance in the game of golf depends somewhat on the type of golf club that you have chosen. As a novice, you may find it difficult to choose the golf club that you need the most from a range of several types. I have discussed some information on golf clubs of five different categories in this article that will help you choose the right golf club.
Golf Clubs – Woods
The hallmark of the Woods is a deep club head. They are named so because the chief material in the make of these golf clubs was wood up to 1980. It is easier to hold and handle the Woods than other golf clubs. Ideal for a beginner, they set the ball rolling in the air. The Woods are more convenient in use than the driver is. It is difficult to control the swing using the driver with a length of 45 inches.
Golf Clubs – Irons
The Irons feature metallic club heads. A usual feature of the Irons, metal club head is a new addition to the Wood golf clubs. A set of Irons includes eight clubs and a 3-iron through pitching wedge. A number on the sole of each club differentiates these clubs. The cavity back styled iron club will make a perfect choice for a beginner. ‘Perimeter weighting’ an effect that is made by these clubs is helpful for a novice. The yardage gap between the irons usually measures 10-15 yards. A 3 iron produces 15 yards longer shots than the 4 iron.
Golf Clubs – Wedges
Wedges bear similarity to Irons in some aspects. However, the category that they belong to is different from that of Irons. The gap wedge, the lob wedge and the sand wedge are the different categories of the wedges. These wedges are available in a set and as individuals as well. The use of wedge golf clubs is made to hit a short shot close to the flagstick. That is why they are often known as the ‘scoring clubs’. At initial levels, a pitching wedge can help you perform better.
Golf Clubs – Putters
The golf clubs that are extensively used in golf are putters. Putters are available in a wider variety than other types of golf clubs. Three sorts of club heads and three lengths make Putters vary in a range. The three club head types are heel-toe club head, mallet club head and traditional blade club head. The standard, the broomstick and the belly are the putters with three different lengths.
Golf Clubs – Utility Clubs or Hybrids
Hybrid clubs or utility clubs are a new addition to the existing categories of golf clubs in the game of golf. They are growing popular with both beginners and professionals for their easy to use nature. These clubs are called hybrid as they feature both the elements of the Irons and the Woods in their make. Chances of missing hits are less while using these clubs.
