What do the numbers on the golf club stand for?

The numbers on golf clubs represent different club models. The smaller the number, the longer the shaft and the lighter the weight; Conversely, the larger the number, the shorter the shaft length and the heavier the weight.

A set of golf clubs shall not exceed 14. The whole composition depends on personal preference.

Usually a set of clubs includes the following items: irons: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW. Wooden poles: 1, 3, 5 and putter. This doesn't mean that you have to take these clubs with you every time you play. Beginners can bring a service stick (No.65438+No.0 wood) or No.3 wood, one iron for No.3, No.5 and No.7, plus a putter.

Wooden poles are mainly used for tee-off. If you can hit a long ball on the first shot, you will undoubtedly take the decisive first step to finish a hole with as few strokes as possible. Of course, the first shot is "hole in one", which is the limit of tee-off contribution.

Iron bars are actually stainless steel bars, or forged or cast. Excellent golfers like to choose hand-made club faces. The characteristic of iron is that it is easy to keep the direction of hitting the ball. The main purpose of golf is to hit the ball close to the target with a stick, so it is the primary purpose to ensure the directionality to the maximum extent and make the hit ball at least close to the target even if it does not reach the target.

The putter is a special kind of club used to push the ball to the hole on the green. There are some differences in specifications between putters and irons: generally speaking, the shaft of putters is short, and the maximum inclination angle of putter face does not exceed 5 degrees.

The most important part of a golf club is the shaft. One of the most important aspects of the shaft is its elasticity. Elasticity refers to the hardness of the shaft. If you see all kinds of golf shafts in golf specialty stores and wave golf sleeves, you will find that some shafts are harder than others. The stronger a player is, the more he wants a harder shaft.
