All golf clubs are composed of a shaft with a grip and a club head. There are six types of golf clubs – wood, iron, hybrid, putter, wedge and chipper. The rules of golf allow for the player to have fourteen clubs in the bag. The most complete set you can have in your bag is to have seven irons, three woods, a putter, a hybrid, a wedge and a chipper.

The name was preserved because they have the same shape as the old the first wood models made; the head is large and the shaft is long. This offers maximum …show more content…
Originally, they were made from forged iron, but the modern versions of these clubs are made out of steel alloys. These clubs are designed for a variety of situations; they are from the dog-legged holes or the tee box on short, to tricky situations like lobbing over trees, hitting from tight lies with a compact swing, or for getting out of hazards. Most of them have a number from 1 to 9 that corresponds with the relative loft angle within a matched set.
As the name says it, hybrid golf clubs are a cross between iron clubs and wood clubs. The advantage is that with a hybrid gives you the best of both worlds; you can strike a ball from a long distance and have an angled swing as well. They can easily replace some wood and iron clubs in a golf match. For example, a hybrid club can be used to replace a number 2 iron to hit better, this club being very hard, making it difficult to hit with it.
Putter golf clubs are designed to roll the ball along the grass primarily, generally from a close distance. They are the only clubs allowed to have features like two striking faces, bent shafts and non-circular grip cross-sections, being the only clubs allowed on the green as
