Golf Club Set : What is it?
| Golf club sets contain a minimum of 14 golf clubs. The longest club in the set is the wood at 40 to 48 inches long. It has a large spherical head, a flat sole, and a bulging clubface used for long shots. The early wood head was made of maple or persimmon, but it is now made of lighter titanium or hollow steel. Golf club sets can have at least three woods.
The most versatile golf club is the iron, and it is also the second longest club. It is classified according to its loft (measured in degrees) from 1 to 9. The higher the number of the iron club, the higher its loft. The iron has a flat clubfacem, and it comes in two varieties: the muscle back and the cavity. Made with a cast iron head, it has a shaft measuring 36 to 40 inches. Golf club sets usually have a variety of irons from 3 to 9.
The wedge is a type of iron club with at least a 44 to 64-degree loft. It comes in four types: pitching, gap, lob, and sand. The wedge is used for bunker shots and difficult recovery shots. Golf club sets have two wedges.
The putter has a short shaft and an extremely low loft. It is used for making shots directly on the green, approach shots, and bunker shots. Golf club sets only have one putter.
The hybrid combines the low center of gravity of a high loft wood club and the straight hitting feature of the iron club. It is mostly used by golfers who have a hard time getting their shots in the air with a long iron club. Some golf club sets do not have hybrids, but those who have contain at least one.
