Purchasing a new set of golf clubs can be expensive. A discount golf club, on the other hand, can fill out the golf bag and get you on your way with a little less pain. Before you start shopping, however, you might like a little information on the types of clubs that are out there and how they are made.
Club Parts
There are several kinds of clubs, but they can broadly be divided into three categories. So the discount golf club of your dreams could be a wood, an iron or a putter.

Whether it' s an expensive or discount golf club, it has three parts: the grip, the shaft and the head. Standards for these parts are set by the ruling bodies of golf. Although, most of your traffic will still come from search
engines and various online promotions, a little effort using
traditional media might also bring a large number of visitors

Grip
The grip, of course, is the part you hold. It has to be round, without obvious bumps or hollows. Grips are usually made of rubber or leather and have little holes, grooves and ridges to make it easy and comfortable to hold and control. Within limits set, the proper size and shape of the grip is just a matter of preference.
Shaft
The shaft is the long part between the grip and the head. Shafts must be round and are usually made of either steel or a carbon-fiber composite. Carbon-fiber is more expensive, so your discount golf club will most likely have a steel shaft. Carbon-fiber has little, if any, advantage over steel. Most manufacturers have six grades of stiffness for the shaft. A stiffer shaft delivers the strength of the swing pretty accurately while the less stiff shaft adds a bit of a whipping effect which adds a bit more oomph' .
Head
The energy of the swing is transferred to the head which is the part that connects to the ball to send it on its way. The head is part that tells you which of the three types of clubs you' re using. The largest heads are on the woods and the largest wood is the driver. The longer shaft of the wood delivers more power to the head, but makes it more difficult to connect the ball with the sweet spot of the head which will send the ball straight. A heavy head resists the twisting that will send the ball to the right or left while a lighter head is easier to swing and results in a longer distance. The shape and composition of the head that balances the advantages of large and light weight has little to do with cost, so a discount golf club can make a good wood.
Irons are the most varied. The lower the number, the greater the distance it' s made for. Higher numbered irons include wedges which lift the ball in a high, shot arc. In the last 25 years, even the discount golf club offers a head with the weight distributed around the perimeter to resist twisting. New alloys allow a larger head to increase the size of the sweet spot.
Putters are designed to send less energy down the shaft to the head, sending the ball a short, controlled distance into the hole - one hopes. The wide range of head shapes simply aid the golfer in handling the pressure of putting.
