Buying a replacement set of clubs can be costly. A reduction club, on the other hand, can fill out the golfing bag and get you on the way with less discomfort. Before you start to shop you may like a little info on the sorts of clubs that are out there and how they’re made.

Club Parts

There are many sorts of clubs, but they can broadly be split into 3 categories. So that the discount golfing club of your dreams may be a wood, an iron or a putter.

Whether it’s an expensive or discount golf club, it has three parts: the grip, the shaft and the head. Standards for these parts are set by the ruling bodies of golf.

Grip

The grip, naturally, is the part you hold. It’s got to be round, without obvious bumps or hollows. Grips are often made from rubber or leather and have tiny holes, grooves and ridges to make it simple and cosy to hold and control. Inside boundaries set, the right size and shape of the grip is merely a matter of preference.

Shaft

The shaft is the long part between the grip and the head. Shafts must be round and are generally made from either steel or a carbon-fiber composite. Carbon-fiber is more expensive, so your discount club will likely have a steel shaft. Carbon-fiber has small, if any, benefit over steel. Most makers have 6 grades of rigidity for the shaft. A stiffer shaft delivers the power of the swing pretty exactingly while the less stiff shaft adds a little bit of a whipping effect which adds rather more ‘oomph’.

Head

The energy of the swing is moved to the head which is the part that connects to the ball to send it on its way. The head is part that tells you which of the 3 kinds of clubs you are using. The biggest heads are on the woods and the biggest wood is the driver. The longer shaft of the wood delivers more power to the head, but makes it tougher to attach the ball with the sweet spot of the head that may send the ball straight. A heavy head resists the twisting which will send the ball to the right or left while a lighter head is simpler to swing and ends up in a longer distance. The shape and composition of the head that balances the benefits of huge and light weight has tiny to do with cost, so a reduction club can make a good wood.

Irons are the most varied. The lower the number, the bigger the distance it’s made for. Higher numbered irons include wedges which lift the ball in a high, shot arc. In the last twenty-five years, even the discount golfing club offers a head with the weight distributed round the fringe to oppose twisting. New alloys permit a bigger head to extend the scale of the sweet spot.

Putters are designed to send less energy down the shaft to the head, sending the ball a short, controlled distance into the hole – one hopes. The wide range of head shapes simply aid the golfer in handling the pressure of putting.
