Golf Clubs - We explain the different types of golf clubs - By Jim Sanders There are many types of golf clubs, we want to show you the difference between them all. hopefully this will help you select the right clubs. One thing you have to know is the different types of golf clubs and what they are used for. This will help your golf game. You already knew that! Golf clubs can be divided between four groups. - Woods
- Irons
- Wedges
- Putters
WOODS are primarily used for drives off the golf tee to place the ball in the fairway. The latest craze is to get a titanium driver. These clubs are all claiming to have a better centering to them to prevent slices so far the jury is out. Some of the most popular woods is the Callaway Big Bertha
IRONS Are used 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, 9 irons. These clubs can come in all shapes and sizes. The clubs can be made out of steel or the ever popular graphite shafts. Most golfers that have switched to the graphite shaft will tell you that the ball goes much further and that their game has improved dramatically. Once Tiger woods made the switch to the graphite shafts the sales of golf clubs has risen ten-fold. Most golfers are always looking for that extra edge when it comes to making their golf game that much better. Some popular irons are Taylor Made and the Nike golf club.
WEDGES These golf clubs are called wedges because that's the basic job description. You have the Sand wedge that gets you out of bunkers. Pitching wedges that get you out of the rough. These golf wedges all come with different pitches to them. some people get the pitching wedge with the set of irons but it really is a wedge.
PUTTER The Golf putter only has one job and that is to get the ball into the hole. There are all types of golf putters we would suggest that you use the one that feels the most comfortable to you since it is the club that makes your money shot.
