Golf Clubs are the most essential piece of equipment in the game of Golf. Golf Clubs are used in making the Golf Swing which hopefully results in the Golf Ball flying towards the hole.
Here are the different parts of a golf club, its features and the uses of each part:
Golf Club Grip
Golf Club Parts The Golf Club Grip is the top part of the Golf Club where we place our hands and Grip the Golf Club. These are the Kinds of Grip Golf Clubs might have:
1. Natural Leather Grips. Grips that are made of natural leather are the most expensive and are less water resistant. These Club Grips are also easy on the hands.
2. Synthetic Leather Grips. Are less expensive than those made with natural leather, but with almost the same features. Synthetic leather Grips are less durable than Rubber Grips.
3. Rubber Grips. Grips made of rubber are the cheapest and most durable Golf Club Grips. Rubber Grips are highly water resistant and are easiest to install.
4. Cord Grips. Cord Grips have rough surface and provides Firmer Grasp through rain, sweat or snow. You need tough hands for this Type of Grip.
Golf Club Shaft
The Golf Club Shaft is the middle part of the Golf Club that connects the Grip to the Club Head. Most Golf Club Shafts are made out of steel or graphite. The longer the Golf Club Shaft, the farther the distance that can be reached with the Golf Club. For more information reach our section on choosing the correct Shaft Size. 
The Golf Club Head is the bottom part of the Golf Club. The Clubhead is the Part of the Golf Club that actually hits the ball and they come in various shapes and sizes that all have a great effect on the Golf Ball Flight. Most Golf Clubheads are made from wood, steel or titanium. A Golf Clubhead consists of the following parts:
a. Clubface.
The Clubface is the area that hits the ball. Hitting the Ball with other parts aside from the face makes your ball go to a different direction and not towards your target. An example of this is the Shank or hitting your ball with the side of the club thus making the Ball Fly in almost a right angle.
b. Toe and Heel.
The Heel is the part of the Clubhead that is attached to the Shaft. The other end of your Clubhead is called the Toe.
c. Sole.
This is the Part of the Clubhead that rests on the ground. The Sole is designed depending on the use of your Club. The Driver's Sole is broad and flat making it glide on the ground.
d. Grooves.
The Clubface has a set of horizontal Grooves that helps in putting spin on the ball. Spin makes the ball fly higher and roll less when it lands.
e. Hosel.
The Hosel is the hole or opening where the Shaft connects to the Clubhead.
Golf Club Features
A golf club can have many features and characteristics that influence your Golf Shot in terms of the spin and the flight of your ball. The spin and the flight are important considerations in choosing the Clubs you should use in a particular situation. Each Club is made with different degrees of Loft and different Grooves.
1. Grooves.
As explained, the Grooves on the Clubface creates a backspin. These Grooves promotes ball flight and lessens the roll.
2. Loft.
The Loft is the degree that the Clubface is tilted away from the center of the Shaft. The higher the Loft your club has, the higher you can get your ball up in the air and the shorter the distance. Long shafted clubs with a bit of Loft makes a long, low shot with a bit of roll. Higher Loft means your club will make your ball fly high and land without rolling very much.
3. Weight.
The weight of your golf club will depend on its overall size and the materials used. Some people prefer heavier golf clubs as it gives them more a better feeling of control. Others prefer lighter clubs to make powerfull swings less cumbersome. Heavier clubs do help in making a harder impact on the golf ball. Club Weight depends on your own personal preferences.
4. Length.
The weight length of your Golf Club differs per club and is also dependant on your own length. Read our section on Golf Club Sizing for more information on choosing a correct club size.
A Golf Club might look like a simple instrument but it is a highly technical piece of Equipment. Understanding the Different Parts of the Golf Club is the first step to better understand Golf Clubs and selecting the correct one.

About HiPPO
The HiPPO golf brand was born out of Howson Sports, a UK based sports equipment manufacturer in 1989. It has grown rapidly to become the largest European-based brand in the golf industry. The original objective was to create a unique wood head design that would provide superior performance at excellent value to the golfer. A team of UK based professionals, including PGA European Tour Director and player DJ Russell, was recruited to thoroughly test prototypes. After a considerable length of time, a wood head was found that showed significantly improved results from all other prototypes and clubs from would-be competitors at the time. From the development of the original wood, HiPPO has continued to push the boundaries of technology with product development teams based both in the UK and US headquarters working continually on new ideas. The brand is now extended across a full range of equipment from award-winning irons to golf bags and accessories, all offering unbeatable performance at exceptional value.

Titleist 906F2 Fairway Woods
Multi-Relief Sole minimizes turf resistance and ensures that groundsole contact remains forward, toward the leading edge of the sole. Maintaining a forward impact point improves directional control and ball flight by reducing the potential for the club to bounce or skip into the ball. The 906F2 performs especially well from closely mown fairways, for players who play the ball forward in their stance or for players who sweep the ball from the turf with a shallow attack angle.
Multi-Material Construction with a softer 431 stainless steel body provides a sweet, solid feel while a 275 Carpenter steel face insert creates maximum ball speed over a larger face area.
Bore-Thru Design positions the tip of the shaft lower and closer to the hitting area for better feel and greater stability at impact.
Tour-Inspired Appearance featuring a highly accepted pear-shaped profile, gloss black finish, white full-length scorelines and a raised crown logo offer contemporary looks.
Optimized Sole Weighting repositions the CG farther forward, closer to the face for less draw bias than prior generation fairway metals. Dynamic face closure is reduced for a neutral ball fl ight that allows the player to dictate the shot shape.
Larger Face Area, particularly low in the heel and toe, increases the effective hitting area for greater forgiveness and playability.
Square Set-Up with a perfectly square face angle delivers the confidence and versatility better players demand. The Multi-Relief Sole allows the clubhead to sit near the front of the sole at address ensuring it doesn?t close or hood, even with the toe slightly raised.

Golf club loft
Golf Training Central instruction on golf club selection and golf club loft. Learn how to reduce your handicap by good golf course management.
Club selection is more of an individual thing and this section will only give you a general guide on which club to use. We all have varying distances when it comes to hitting individual clubs.
A professional may hit his driver 350 yards/metres where as we may only be able to hit our drivers 200yards/metres.
Some people don't like using their Woods/Drivers because they can control their Irons better. I recommend you use every club in your bag and if you have difficulty with golf Woods/Drivers seek some lessons from your Club Professional and they'll put you on the right track.
Remember you can only carry 14 Golf Clubs in your bag during a competition.
Loft
The loft of a club is indicated by the number on the heal of the club. ie 9 iron to 3 iron or 1 wood to 7 wood.
The higher the number the higher the loft. The higher the loft means the ball flies higher and goes a shorter distance.
The loft is measured in degree's. If you look at your Driver you should see the degrees written on the heal. This would be between 8 to 10 degrees normally.
Wedges have a higher loft again and generally the degree of loft may be anywhere between 50 to 65 degrees depending on the wedge.
