Golfclub

Woods are the longest golfclub that a golfer carries . The longer golfclub permits a player to hit the ball for more yardage and the driver is the greatest length club . Despite their name , woods are not made of wood anymore. Usually, they are made from titanium, steel or boron composite materials that are better than wood.

Irons are normally harder to use than woods for beginners . Irons have a lower loft (the slant of the face that produces a higher trajectory) and less mass behind the faces of one and two irons than with their wood counterparts. Normally, players will have the three through nine irons.

Woods are numbered one through five, and irons are numbered two through nine. The numbers of the clubs are related to the slope of their hitting face . Golflub having a lower number have faces that are more perpendicular to the ground , making the ball to go farther. However, it is more difficult to control the ball with a lower numbered club due to the angle of the face, so the skill level of the golfer is the biggest factor in deciding which clubs they will carry .

Wedges are used for shots to the green because they allow for increased loft that is needed for stopping the ball. A pitching wedge is the longest, a sand wedge is in the middle, and a lob wedge is the shortest.

Putters are the shortest club in a golfer's bag and are only used on the green.
