Four Types Of Clubs That Will Complete Your Set

If you are wondering why you are not so doing so well on the golf course, one of the reasons could be that you are not using the right set of clubs. Perhaps you are using certain clubs for other functions because you do not own a complete set of clubs. This is usually the case for people who are really good at the game: they just don't have the right equipment.

Before you go on thinking that you are great at golf, check out if you have a complete set of clubs and know how to use them. Here are the clubs that you need in your set.

• Woods – For a beginner, you only really need the 3 wood. But for a complete set you should at least have the 3 wood and the 5 wood. The wood clubs have very large heads and long shafts.

As a golfer, you will only really use these clubs to tee off but they can be used again on the fairway especially if you are on a par 5 hole because that means that the golf hole is actually really far. Make sure that you have the essential woods in your golf set.

• Irons – Now when it comes to a set of irons, it's like you have something for everything. Iron clubs are made of iron and there are different kinds for different situations. If you want a complete set of irons, you should have the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 irons.

There is also a sand wedge and a pitch that will help you when your ball lands on the sand bunker. You also want to make sure that all your clubs match. If you buy a certain brand for your irons, make sure the rest of them are the same brand.

• The pitching wedge – The pitching wedge may seem like another iron but it really is in a class of its own. This is because it is only ever really used in very special situations on the golf course.

This kind of iron golf club will allow you to hit a ball higher than normal but not as far as you would like. It is only used to help you get your ball out of tight situations like if your ball lands just at the edge of the water or at the sloping edge of a sand bunker.

• The putter – Once your ball gets on the green, it makes no sense to use anything other than a putter. There are many types of putters out from different manufacturers and they all claim that they have the best one for you. Of course, this is a matter of preference. The point is that you should have at least one putter in your golf bag.

Some people even have three types and they use them depending on how far their golf ball is from the hole. The putter is made of metal and the head is not angled like the other clubs because you will only hit the ball lightly and forward towards the hole.
