FAQs About Golf Clubs

Golf is a leisurely sport designed for slow, relaxed game play. Players use golf clubs to hit a ball into holes along a course. Each hole is strategically placed along the course to present a fun challenge for the players. It is not a very difficult game to play. However, there are many different types of clubs that are used to improve performance and enhance the game. Players may even need several different kinds of clubs to meet the advantage points for each hole. This often confuses many people who play golf, but knowing how each club is used can give players an advantage. Read the following questions and answers to get started.

Q: Is there a difference between a woman’s golf club and a man's?

A: There are different golf clubs designed specifically for a man or a woman because each one uses the club differently. A man is also built differently from a woman so this affects the way the club is used and, therefore, designed. However, a woman might not necessarily need a different club than a man. It really just depends on the skill, age and build of the person. Most often, the difference between the two has only to do with the loft, the angle that controls direction and distance with the club. Women usually average lofts between 12 to 15, while men average between 10 and 12.

Q: What are the best club head materials for beginners?

A: The best club head materials for a beginner are zinc and titanium alloys. They are light-weight and inexpensive, yet durable at the same time. This makes them great for beginner use.
