Golf equipment encompasses the various items that are used to play the sport of golf. Types of equipment include the golf ball itself, implements designed for striking the golf ball, devices that aid in the process of playing a stroke and items that in some way enrich the playing experience.
Among all the equipments, golf clubs are the most common. Usually, a player will carry several clubs during the game; no one will carry one club. There are three major types of clubs, woods, irons, and putters. Wedge belongs to irons; it is used to play shorter shots. Irons are for precision shots from fairways as well as from the rough, while Woods are played for long shots from the tee or fairway, and occasionally rough, while.
Hybrid, a new type of club, combines the straight-hitting characteristics of irons with the easy-to-hit characteristics of higher-lofted woods. A hybrid is often used for long shots from difficult rough. Hybrids are also used by players who have a difficult time getting the ball airborne with long irons. Wedges are played from difficult ground such as sand or the rough and for approach shots to the green. Putters are mostly played on the green, but can also be useful when playing from bunkers or for some approach shots. Putters have minimal loft, forcing the ball to stay on the putting surface when struck.
To play golf, driver is of course the most important golf club. In the world of golf, there are various kinds of driver brands, such as Taylormade, Callaway, Ping, Mizuno and Titleist. But which one is the best? How to choose? Short game wizardry and putting accuracy may be golfing essentials, but if you are not whacking drives over 250 yards, you are losing out.
Advances in sweet spot technology, size, launch angle, composition, forgiveness, ball speed and aerodynamics are just some of the categories that the top manufactures now spend millions of pounds researching and developing.
The result to us is the vast array of drivers on the market. We are spoilt for choice as to what driver we should use in today' market, and finding the right one can open the door to an extra 20 yards or perhaps being able to get up to that testing par 5 in two!
