- What clubs want?: The first advice, obviously, is to search the second hand market them we would buy new sticks. Golf Stores like Castellana in Madrid, have a very attractive market for used clubs from players sometimes changing on a whim in September, even several times a year. Thus, we can find attractive offers for high-end irons that have been hit only a dozen times and low handicap golfers.

- The head of the club: Experts say that if the head has the typical circular mark in the middle, a sign of a very long and intensive use, it is best to escape. Any defect or mark on the sweet spot is not recommended.

- The Rod: The first eye examination will reveal defects in a graphite rod or remnants of an aluminum oxide. Bad sign. Of course, passes the litmus test by taking the stick and stir it with some bad grapes to check the strength of the rod. Any sign of weakness, better not buy it. If you break the rod down, no discussion possible.

- The grip: More than one factor may be a good excuse to bargain. If the grip is worn or just ugly, we should stop and calculate. Some new grips for a set of irons will cost no more than 30 or 50 euros, so it’s a perfect argument for lowering the price in the event that the iron interest.

- Uniformity: It seems a joke, but it is not. We must take time to calmly review the whole game, making sure that the clubs are of the same brand and series, and none of them is broken.

- I can try? Of course, made ??to order, and that is interested in selling another, is not unreasonable to request the option of testing in the field for a few holes. Leaving behind all the above advice is the best way to know if these clubs are going to lead below 80 beats.

The golf club is formed by the rod and head.
The shaft of the club is a tube of 12 mm. and can be made of metal or graphite fiber.

The golf club head is the part that hits the ball.

The head has a face that is the part that touches the ball during the stroke.

In the golf club putter head may have two faces.

The face angle determines the trajectory of the ball.

The total number of clubs a player can use in a course are 14.

A typical bag of golf clubs consists of irons 3 to 9, three wedges, woods 1, 3 and 5 and a putter.

History of Golf Clubs

The first golf clubs appeared in the fifteenth century in Scotland.

Formerly the sticks were made of wood, had a heavy head and the handle was covered with cowhide, lamb or pork.

To manufacture these wood sticks were used in different types of trees such as pear, apple and cherry.

By 1700 appear metal golf clubs.

The golf clubs were developed and modified by adding different metal bases to be able to hit balls at varying distance and improved ball trajectory.

The sticks are made with modern techniques and advanced materials.

Types of golf clubs

Golf Clubs Woods

These golf clubs are used when the player is more than 160 yards from the green.

Their heads are bigger, very tight angle and the rod longer than any other club.

There are different styles of this type are numbered from 1 to 7. The lower the number, the lower elevation.

The pole 1 is called driver.

The golf club manufacturers use steel or titanium to make the head of this type of suit.

Suits made with titanium heads weigh less and tend to be larger.

Golf clubs stainless steel look smaller and weigh more.

Iron Golf Clubs

They are used for shorter strokes.

The suits are solid head with a flat face and an angle between 16 and 60 degrees.

This type of suit has made heads and sometimes forged steel with chrome.

There are different types of sticks, short and long media.

These golf clubs are chosen depending on the distance we want to achieve in each shot.

These golf clubs are numbered from 1 to 9.

The shorts are 8, 9, pitching wedge, the sand wedge and lob wedge. Sticks are heavier and shorter than short shots are used to trying to put the ball on the green.

The long palosmedios and consist of 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.

3 and 2 are used less frequently.

Today are distinguished by numbers but was formerly named.

Putter

This golf club retains its traditional name.

It is used to push the ball with a bang when facing the hole on the green, sometimes also used to exit a bunker or to make an approach shot.

This type of wood has a very low loft and often short sticks.

This is the golf club is more personal and different head shapes.

They are the traditional paddle, there are those of perimeter weighting and mallet, also called deck.

Left handed golf clubs, women and children

There are also clubs for these types of players.

The suits are designed for right handed players and left-handed, so make sure you buy the golf club in the correct orientation.

Women prefer lighter sticks that men use.

These golf clubs are usually lightweight with graphite shafts and come in standard sizes or shorter for the players who are lower.

Children who are learning to play golf should be used junior golf clubs.

To find the length of a stick so that you can use a child, it must be measured just above the waist to the floor.

Officially you can not take the championship more than 14 clubs in the bag.
When you train every day you can take the ones you want.

The driver, stick that is used at the exit of the holes are par 4 and 5 normally.
It is the longest of all and the one with the larger head.
There are different grades 8, 9,9.5, 10,10.5 etc. and different rods. Depending on your swing speed you will play one or the other rod. Some of the unwanted effects of swing are given to play with rods that are not going, so it comes in handy for an expert to advise you.

Fairway woods: the most common ones are the 3-15 º ,4-17 ° and 5-19 ° approximately, depends on the brand, but also the, 7 and 9 which is increasingly being used less due to the rise of hybrids. It often used as a second shot on hole long or short exit holes as a par 3 over.
Hybrids: Hybrids came about 6 years ago and every day are more popular there since the number 1-14 º, 2-17 º, 3-20 º etc., each brand offers a different but similar degree, degree or two more or less.
Each number corresponds to the hybrid iron it replaces, the most common are 3 and 4. With a 4-iron will have less percentage of good shots with a hybrid 4. The most notable application is for the hybrids and grass raff and we will give more straight and long shots, thanks to its design and weight distribution.

Irons, the graphite and steel are now of the two with Wilson. For each level there is a kind of stick is highly recommended and essential that we use sticks that fit our needs and our game level to progress well and we have fun. So seek advice of professionals and updated.

Wedge: Palo used for the short game, for me the most fun of the bag.
They come from 48 º to 64 º, the more degrees, but lifts the ball and makes less traveled. Stretch marks a special role in this suit, because depending on us more or less to help stop the ball on the green, as do the professionals, providing greater precision to the flag.

The Putt: this is the club most personal of all, we have to buy that we like. For me there is only one technical data to consider, how far or near that place ourselves kicking the ball as the putt rods have different angle. When you buy a putt does not skimp, if you can, get the best. The driver gets the glory, but the putt is what gives the victory.

One of the difficult situations that often arise during a game, even the best golf courses in the world , but if we have peace and proper technique necessary, it will not be a simple event to win.

The best options to get out of this, will be determined by the distance that the ball is the obstacle, the way you have it, size, and finally, how much property you have and tell us what the best technique and type of shot to use to overcome it.

The high shot is perhaps the least likely to choose for this type of situation. However, if the option is presented to use, check that you have the space and comfort enough to do to be able to develop a swing in all its breadth.

Remember to choose a club with enough loft or angle of your face to help him lift the ball. Also, try to get some more the ball in your stance and increase the speed of your swing. And of course, do not forget to hit the ball lower to achieve a higher elevation. Read the rest of this entry »

When we have been choosing golf clubs or a driver in the store, we’ve seen a few times and have wondered why this feature, which distinguishes well the rest of the sticks.

Since the most famous trademarks released these drivers with square head , made ??from titanium so as not to gain weight, the trend of making other major brands was immediate and soon, many of them were produced in large numbers to demand golfing.

Experts claim that what has been achieved with this new design is to increase essentially the moment of inertia, thereby achieving more hits to get straight.

This increase in inertia mass was achieved bat away as possible from its own center of gravity, thereby reducing the rotation of the face which tend hits the sticks when he hits the ball. Read the rest of this entry »

Used in the green , the putter makes us concentrate all our subtlety when hitting the ball , with proper swing , proper grip and taking a stance appropriate to their personal way to run your blow to these circumstances.

The putters are classified according to the shape of your face and depending on the position of the rod with respect to the clubhead.

• For the type of face , we find three types of putters, such as spades, the Edge weight and mallet (hammer).
• For the position of the rod in relation to the clubhead, we putters heel stick or rod centered.

To this we can add the reference to “putter broom” , which is one that has the characteristic of a fairly long rod that is held by the player with one hand against his chest, making the blow with his other hand.

After all this, it is important to know that life will always be possible to test the full range of models, and determine which of them your game will be played in the best way. You might end up dominating the putter with the same skill with which he was Jack Nicklaus .
