In total there are 29 kinds of clubs, but in one game, you can use no more than 14 species. Sticks vary in length, weight and angle of impact. Choose a putter should be for each individual player. Each type of club is designed for a specific attack.

In general, all clubs can be divided into groups:

wood (the Woods) - this type of club should ensure that flight of the ball for maximum distance;

iron (irons) - provides flight of the ball at different distances, depending on need;

pitching wedge (pitching wedge) - intended to shock with a high trajectory of the ball when the distance is small, and the need to ensure maximum accuracy;

sand wedge (Sand Wedge) - designed to blow out of the bunker with sand. She has a special form that allows clubs do not get stuck in the sand;

putter (putter) - designed for the final blow when the ball is rolling on the smooth grass.

Putter consists of a head (club), handles covered with rubber or leather (grip), and joining them the rod, which can be made of aluminum, metal or ugleplastika.Vse golf clubs have a specific numbering. The lower the number, the longer and the lower the potential trajectory of the shock. The difference between the numbers is approximately 10 meters.

It remains to add that there are clubs designed for women and children.

Golf Balls

The modern golf ball - it's quite a technological thing, of course, to the extent it can be applied to the ball. He has a diameter of about 4, 30 cm, and weighs about 45 grams. Surface of the ball has a special hollow (dimples). They are designed to improve such performance goals as: reduced air resistance, long-range strike and a better air flow around the ball in flight. Moreover, the more these vpadinok, the higher the ball flies.

Elasticity of balls determined by the index "compression", which may vary depending on the requirements for different types of ball. Golf balls can be different for internal devices. They consist of one, two, three or more layers:

single-layer balls - are composed of homogeneous material, because of this, they weigh less than other balls and have a smaller range. Thanks to the low cost of these balls, they are perfect for practicing moves for beginners golf;

double-layer balls - the most common form of balls. They combine low cost, good flight characteristics and durability. These balls are suitable for most golfers;

sandwich balls - they differ in that they have made of an elastic filament winding surface of the shell. Thanks to the softness of the strike, they can be very twisted, which allows experienced players to trace the obstacle;

four-balls - a ball of this kind between the shell and braid has an intermediate layer and core can be elastic or gel. Golf ball can reach a distance of about 200 km per hour during the strike.
