Golf clubs are the tools we use to strike the golf ball. A golf club has three components — Tèt la, Arbr a ak Grip la. The règ gòlf constrain golf club designs, but the goal of clubmakers is to create golf clubs, within those constraints that maximize the physics behind a golfer's swing while allowing for some range of swing error to provide an accurate, long, and forgiving shot. The better your swing, the less forgiving club you require whereas the more your swing needs work, the better off you are with a more forgiving club design.
Yon seri klib gòlf modèn konsiste de twa bwa (1-chofè, 3, ak 5), omwen 1 ibrid (3H) sèt fè (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ak PW), ak yon putter. Sa a ba ou yon total douz klib. Règ yo nan gòlf pèmèt ou pote katòz klib nan sak ou a, se konsa anpil jwè gòlf ajoute yon lòt kwen oswa ibrid espesyalite. Apre yo tout, plis zouti nou genyen nan bwat zouti nou an, se plis opsyon ou genyen pou fè travay ou pi fasil!
Woods
Woods are used to hit long shots. If a golf hole is 450 yards from tee to green, most golfers use a wood to hit off the tee. A wood is a hollow-bodied large headed golf club. It's customary to use your woods when you are 175 yards or more away from the green.
The chofè (also called the 1 bwa) gen galata ki pi ba nan nenpòt klib gòlf. Loft se ang figi klib la ki kontwole trajectoire ak afekte distans. Yon chofè gen yon galata ant 7 ak 12 degre. Jwè gòlf ki gen eksperyans yo te tradisyonèlman favorize chofè ki pi ba yo (mwens pase 10 degre nan galata), ki mande plis konpetans pou frape pase chofè ki pi wo yo.
A dramatic development has occurred over the past several years — professional golfers are throwing out their low lofted drivers and opting for large-headed, higher-lofted 10 and 11 degree drivers. Their argument is that the longest drives are achieved by combining a high launch angle with lower spin. This change is a huge reversal from prior years. During the mid to late 1990's, the average loft on the PGA Tour was around 7 degrees. However, those were difficult shots for the pros to make and the low loft resulted in lots of spin on the ball. The experts in ball flight analysis showed that the longest golf drives are achieved with a high launch angle combined with low spin. The new solid core golf balls provide that low spin which was not available in the golf balls of yesterday. A higher lofted club gives the golfer the higher launch angle.
Pifò pwofesyonèl PGA kounye a pote chofè ak loft 8.5 a 10 degre oswa plis. Pwofesyonèl ki pa -ta dwe pwobableman jwe chofè ak asansè 10 degre oswa pi wo. Se konsa, rekòmandasyon nou an se: swiv konsèy pwofesyonèl PGA yo epi ogmante galata chofè ou a.
Most golfers also carry 3 and 5 rakbwa in their bag. A 3 wood has a loft between 15 and 18 degrees, and a 5 wood has a loft between 20 and 22 degrees. The higher the golf club number, the higher the loft. Also, the higher the golf club number, the shorter the club shaft length. The 3 wood and 5 wood are commonly referred to as Fairway Woods, because they are most often used during the second shot of play, when you are supposed to be in the fairway of the golf hole (as opposed to in the woods!). All higher lofted woods (7, 9, 11, and so on) are commonly referred to as Woods sèvis piblik. A 3 wood is generally ½" shorter than a driver and so on with each successive club. However, we build all our woods higher than a 5 wood the same length as the 5 wood. This is because shortening a club decreases the arc of the swing. The smaller the arc, the less speed the golf club will have when it strikes the ball — ergo the less distance the ball will travel. We believe that a 5 wood is short enough and while the 7 and 9 rakbwa provide more forgiveness, we also want longer distance in our shots. Arghh, the physics of golf!
What about 2 and 4 rakbwa? Woods sa yo aktyèlman egziste e yo te popilè 20 oswa plis ane de sa, men yo te tonbe nan favè kòm nouvo teknoloji yo te amelyore pèfòmans nan Woods. Jodi a, pifò jwè gòlf pito 7 ak 9 Woods nan sak yo (ki ka sèlman gen katòz klib) pase yon bwa 2 oswa 4. Anfèt, genyen koulye a yon tandans pou genyen ladan yo pi wo numéroté rakbwa Et éliminer tradisyonèl ba numéroté irons nan ou ansanm de klib golf. Sa a pral diskite an plis detay lè nou pale sou fè.
Why aren't woods made of wood? They used to be, but since the 1980's woods have been made of metal. Metal has many advantages over wood. For the beginning golfer, the most important features are pondération perimèt and ba sant gravite (LCG) which can only be achieved through precisely molded metal. Both of these design technologies result in golf clubs that are much more forgiving than wooden woods. Perimeter weighting helps create a larger tach dous — a larger area on the face of the club that will result in a good hit. Low center of gravity creates mass at the right place — increasing the height that the ball will launch off the club and reducing the likelihood of miss-hits into the ground.
