  2. Shaft (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(golf)

    The shaft is roughly .58 inch/14.7 millimeters in diameter near the grip and between 35 and 48 inches/89–115 cm in length. Shafts weigh between 45 and 150 grams depending on the material and length. Graphite shafts are woven from carbon fiber and are generally lighter in weight than steel shafts. Graphite shafts became popular among amateurs ...

  3. Obsolete golf clubs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_golf_clubs

    These early clubs had hickory shafts and wrapped leather grips. To secure the joins between the shaft and the head of the club, and between the grip and the shaft, whipping of black, waxed linen thread was used. Pre-1900 clubs (smooth-faced gutty era) used seven-ply thread. Clubs from the era 1900 to 1935 required four-ply thread.

  4. Wedge (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_(golf)

    The class of wedges grew out of the need for a better club for playing soft lies and short shots. Prior to the 1930s, the best club for short "approach" shots was the "niblick", roughly equivalent to today's 9-iron or pitching wedge in loft; however the design of this club, with a flat, angled face and virtually no "sole", made it difficult to use in sand and other soft lies as it was prone to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_club

    A golf club is a club used to hit a golf ball in a game of golf.Each club is composed of a shaft with a grip and a club head. Woods are mainly used for long-distance fairway or tee shots; irons, the most versatile class, are used for a variety of shots; hybrids that combine design elements of woods and irons are becoming increasingly popular; putters are used mainly on the green to roll the ...

  6. Iron (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_(golf)

    Wedges are a subclass of irons with higher loft than numbered irons, used for a variety of specialized "utility" shots that require short distance (typically less than 130 yards), high launch angle, or high backspin to reduce roll distance. The first wedge to have that name was the sand wedge, invented by Gene Sarazen in 1931, which features a ...

  7. Pitching wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitching_wedge

    Though technically a wedge, pitching wedges are generally treated as if they were numbered irons.This is for a number of reasons: first, before the term "wedge" became common for high-loft short irons, the pitching wedge was actually numbered as the "10-iron" of a matched set, and to this day it follows the normal loft progression of the numbered irons.

  8. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    These buckling modes depend on material properties other than stiffness and density, so the stiffness-over-density-cubed metric is at best a starting point for analysis. For example, most wood species score better than most metals on this metric, but many metals can be formed into useful beams with much thinner walls than could be achieved with ...

  9. Wood (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_(golf)

    The shaft is the true engine of the wood. Widely overlooked, the proper shaft increases distance and accuracy, while a poor shaft can lead to inconsistent shots, slices, and reduced distance. The oldest shafts for all golf clubs were made of Hickory wood. The shaft was whippy and light, but inconsistent in flex from club to club and quite fragile.
