Why is it called a wooden golf club? It is named because the former club heads were mostly made of wood. It was first made of red persimmon wood. Because wood will swell when exposed to water, the batting clubs will be sent to the pro shop for maintenance in the early rainy days. It was later evolved to use different materials to manufacture. Iron, stainless steel, carbon fiber, and titanium are all used.
The most popular club material should be titanium. In addition to not requiring time-consuming maintenance, titanium has a strong rebound effect and can hit farther. Many courses nowadays cannot increase the length and distance, so there are certain specifications for the rebound coefficient of the wood used by professional players. USGA stipulates that the rebound coefficient should not be greater than 0.83. In addition to the No. 1 driver for teeing, there are 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 fairway woods. For girls, 3 or 4 wood is more difficult to play. Therefore, the 7 or 9 wood with a higher elevation angle will be introduced.
The wood is the longest club in a golfer’s bag, and the head is bulbous. Wood rods are mainly used for teeing off. If you can hit a long ball with the first shot, you can finish a hole with as few strokes as possible. So the role of wood is to fight for distance. In order to increase the speed of the club head when hitting the ball, increase the swing arc as much as possible and increase the amount of hitting.
