Ok. Here are the basics. A golf club has three parts - head, body and handle. A set standard of golf clubs consists of three woods (the Driver, # 3 and # 5 fairway woods), eight irons (# 3, # 4, # 5, # 6, # 7, # 8, # 9, and PW) and a putter - that's twelve clubs in all. According to the rules of golf, and all must respect the rules, can carry fourteen clubs in your bag, so many golfers add a forest of iron or another specialty.
Now, let's look at the different types of clubs.
Drivers & Fairway Woods
These clubs are used to hit more shots. That's a basic way but tend to look. If a golf hole is a par four or five from tee to green, most golfers choose to use one of wood.
The driver, or 1 wood, has the lowest loft of any golf club. Loft is the angle of club face controls trajectory and affects in the distance. A driver has a loft between 7 and 12 degrees. The best golfers have traditionally favored drivers with less than 10 degrees of loft, which require much more ability to strike.
Most golfers also carry a # 3 and # 5 fairway wood as part of their arsenal. A # 3 wood has a loft of 15 degrees, and a # 5 wood has a loft of 18 degrees. The greater the number of golf clubs, the higher the loft. The # 3 and # 5 wood are commonly referred to as fairway woods, because are most commonly used during the second shot of play, when he assumes that in the street.
Hybrids
Hybrids are a recent innovation to golf. A hybrid is a combination of wood and iron and is an easier alternative to hit a long iron. Hybrids are versatile enough to be used in any situation. Hybrids come in a range of four lofts - 16 (# 2), 19 (# 3), 22 (# 4) and 25 (# 5) degrees. Hybrids replace their number equivalent long iron, eg a # 3 hybrid will replace a # 3 hybrid iron and # 2 can be used to replace a # 5 fairway wood.
Irons
Iron generally used for shorter distances and more control of drivers and fairway woods. The closer you are green, the highest iron is to be used. A standard set of irons consists of # 3, # 4, # 5, # 6, # 7, # 8 and # 9 and pitching wedge (PW). A sandwedge is generally a good option for shots from bunkers. The # 3 and # 4 irons are harder to hit the plates of a higher number. Many players choose replace the # 3 and # 4 iron with rose wood top or hybrids that are easier to succeed than traditional long irons, resulting in comparable distances.
Wedges
Wedges are really just specialty irons. The first is the wedge pitching wedge (PW), which is usually between 52 and 56 degrees in loft. The VP is the most elevated iron in a standard set and lowest loft of the wedges. Lob wedges range from 58 to 64 degrees and are used for short shots at close range high to overcome the obstacles around the green. Wedges are extremely useful for the short game and is beneficial to maintain a selection of them in her purse.
Wedges sand are another type of wedge and are designed to make the dreaded sand traps. They have a shorter shaft and a face angle more to get under the ball in order to exit a bunker.
Putters
As the saying goes "Drive for show, putt for dough". The putter is generally achieved in the hole, so one can assume that the right club selection is key to his game. Putters come in various styles and types.: Belly short, long, bent, center-hosel, heel-toe, mallet, and so on. When choosing a putter the main things to consider are: weighting, balance and feel. Putters provide better alignment of aid to help visualize the line of the ball to the goal.
