? Sharp tools can do a good job. ? You can't play golf well without a set of tools. In a regular competition, each player can take less than 14 golf clubs to participate in the competition. These fourteen strokes usually include a push (wooden stick, iron stick and putter), and players can add a sand wedge or iron wooden stick according to their own needs.

It is the wish of every golfer to have a set of reliable irons. Irons can help you hit the ball on the green and get a good putting point. A set of irons usually consists of No.3 irons and wedge irons. According to the rules of golf, this set of irons will occupy 8 of the 14 clubs in your bag the next time you play. Irons are divided into long irons (No.65438 +0 irons to No.3 irons), medium irons (No.4 irons to No.6 irons), short irons (No.7 irons to No.9 irons) and special short irons (No.65438 +00 irons and No.65438 irons +0 irons), among which special short irons include sand wedges and bunker bars. This time, we will focus on the first three kinds of iron.

Long iron bar

When it comes to long irons, people usually refer to No.3 iron. In fact, long irons include irons from 1 to No.3, but irons from 1 and No.2 are not commonly used because the face inclination is too small to master. When using long irons, it is more demanding than using fairway wooden poles, because it requires both flight distance and flight accuracy.

Medium iron bar

Medium iron includes No.4 iron, No.5 iron and No.6 iron. With the shortening of the club, the width of the station has gradually narrowed. Medium iron hits the ball higher, and the ball can still roll for a certain distance after landing, so it is generally used to attack the green. Medium iron is the most frequently used club among irons, and whether it can be used well will directly affect the performance of playing.

Short iron bar

Short iron includes No.7 iron, No.8 iron and No.9 iron. Short irons are often used in close range and difficult-to-hit positions and in deep grass. When using short irons, the standard requirements for the flying direction and distance of the ball are higher.

Axis selection

Iron bars have various specifications, but they are mainly divided into steel and carbon. Among them, the carbon shaft is light in weight, good in elasticity and good in shock absorption, and the hand will not hurt too much when the ball is not solid, making it the first choice for beginners; Steel shaft is synonymous with stability, with low take-off trajectory, good handling ability and minimal torque. It is the best choice for professional players and also the choice of many masters.

However, it is not only those who play well who can choose steel shafts, but novices can only choose carbon shafts. When choosing the type of shaft, we should make the choice according to the swing speed and physical condition: if the beginner has good physical quality, then choose the steel shaft and enjoy the stability it brings; If the master swings slowly, then he should choose the light steel shaft or carbon fiber shaft of an independent manufacturer with better performance; If you are a golfer with a wrist injury or injury, you should choose a carbon pole to protect your health regardless of your level.

Rod head design

The club head design can help golfers overcome some hitting problems.

For example, for people with right curve, this problem can be solved to some extent by increasing the offset of the club face; The left curve is not easy to be solved by the design of the club head, and no club head has been developed to solve this problem in the market at present. If the ball can't be hit, it can also be solved by moving the club face backwards. The backward movement of the club face allows the user to keep his hand in front of the ball at the moment of touching the ball, so that the club can hit down after being released, generating enough downward rotation and take-off angles, so that the ball can take off easily.

Cutting grass before playing (commonly known as digging sweet potatoes, fattening, thickening, etc.) is also a headache. The common solution is to increase the width of the bottom of the club, which can effectively make the club head cross the grass. Now, in order to solve this kind of problem, the bottom width of some clubs is close to the design of iron wood, so that the club head can hardly dig into the grass.

If you are a beginner, it will be a safe choice to buy a set of large concave back clubs with wide bottom and large backward face. Such a club may not look professional and dazzling, but it can effectively reduce your frustration on the golf road. With the improvement of skills, we should adjust the club according to our own hitting characteristics. An inappropriate club will change your performance by 5-20 strokes. For the master, the range of choice is very large, because basically any club can play well.
