Golf Club Parts IllustratedGolf club parts grapics and descriptions of the different parts of lady golf clubs.
Golf Club Parts: The ShaftThe shaft connects the grip to the head. Most shafts are made out of steel or graphite. The choice depends on various aspects. Ask yourself this question: what lenght golf club shafts do I need, what material, and above all what shaft flexibility?
Golf Club Parts: The Club HeadThe head is the bottom part that hits the ball. The sizes and forms vary nearly exhaustive, so use my checklist. Also it is important to know what effect the different heads of woods, irons and putters have on the flight of the ball - the arc and distance in yards or meters - and therefore on your play.The overall weight of your women golf clubs depends for a major part on the size and materials and distribution of the weight to and in the club head. Check out if you use the right head material. These club parts are easy to damage. My checklist shows you how golf club head covers can help you to protect your woods, irons and putter from clunking around in your bag and damage - especially for if you have build your own ladies golf club - and realize what headcover things you should have in mind.
Clubface, Grooves, Sole, Hosel, Socket, Toe and BackAs you can see on the golf club parts graphic above there are more important parts of a golf club. Let me describe their sole functions more in detail - it is always good to know a bit about the magic terms club makers use :-) Know what they are talking about!The clubface is the area where you make contact with golf ball. Don't forget to look at the size of the golf club sweet spot, it happens to be the ideal spot to hit. The horizontal grooves help creating backspin - the ball flies higher up in the air and lessens the roll when it lands. The grooves also tend to disperse water, sand and grass from the clubface at impact. The sole rests on the ground when you set up and it contacts the ground during the backswing. Woods have broad and flat soles with rounded edges to glide easy over the surface without digging in the ground. In the past lady golf clubs were made with much smaller soles. Irons have smaller soles to slice through the turf without jumping, tugging and twisting. The socket and hosel golf club parts connect the head safe to the shaft. The hosel is a hole or opening where the shaft fits into the head. Opposite to the heel is the toe. The back opposite of the golf club face. The international supervising by the governing bodies is severe for ladies golf clubs. The specifications of the United States Golf Association - the well-known USGA - and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews are the leading indicators for the designs for all golf club parts.
