Golf Club Parts Illustrated

This Golf Club Parts page starts with discussing the Grip. The grip is the top of the club where you place your hands. There are different ways to hold your lady golf clubs. The basic techniques: the overlapping grip, the interlocking grip and the baseball grip. Find out what suits you.


First you have to know how to choose the proper size. And, what grip material. Nowadays you can choose out of a huge assortiment made of rubber or leather with various grooves, holes or other styles. Use my checklist for selecting the proper grips that fit your ability, play and budget. You have to find it out by yourself - the design, material and size of this golf club part are a matter of personal preference. If the standard grip feels somewhat uncomfortable, then may be you should opt for replacement by yourself.

Golf Club Parts: The Shaft

The 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 Head

The head is the bottom part that hits the ball. The sizes and forms vary nearly exhaustive, so use my checklist. Also it's important to know what effect the different heads of woods, irons and putters have on the flight of the ball, 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 if you use the right head material. These club parts are easy to damage. Learn 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 your head.

Clubface, Grooves, Sole, Hosel, Socket, Toe and Back

As you can see on the graphic above there are more important parts of a golf club. Let me describe their sole functions. 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 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 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 are the golf club parts that connects the head 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 to the golf club face.

The rules 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.
