What You Need to Know about Golf Club?

As every golfer who's had to borrow clubs knows, golf clubs vary greatly, even within the same brand and same model. Length is an important facet of club selection; perhaps, the most important. Playing with golf clubs that are too long or too short can ruin a game already referred to as "a nice walk ruined". Clubs are generally manufactured with a standard length (which is estimated to fit about 80% of players, according to Pine Meadow Golf), and then can be custom-fitted by a manufacturer or a pro shop for specific players who may need changes.

Golfers will notice that this means the CG15 is much more consistent and that difference between different lofts is much less pronounced than on other wedges. The Cleveland CG15 Oil Quench wedge features an S Sole design that incorporates a wider sole near the heal of the club and a narrower sole at the toe to help improve performance from the sand without harming the CG15 versatility when tackling other shots.

Another key component of club selection is "flex". Flex refers to the flexibility of the clubs' shafts and is defined as one of the following: Regular, Stiff, Extra Stiff, Senior, and Ladies. Generally speaking, clubs with more "flex" provide greater control at a cost to distance. Expert players will want to use Extra Stiff shafts (for reasons unknown, graphite shafts are referred to in the golf club industry as Firm, instead of Stiff). Casual players should use regular flex clubs, to provide some forgiveness for the inevitable mishits we face.

Golf clubs are now available in graphite and steel shafts. Graphite shafts are geared more toward the casual and inexperienced players; graphite is lighter and has more "give" than steel. Expert players, for the most part, use steel shafted clubs.

As far as the "head" of a golf club goes, manufacturers now produce clubs with a variety of materials. As a rule of thumb, softer metals such as aluminum or alloys are more suited for beginners; they provide more control, at a cost of distance. Advanced and expert players should use club heads manufactured from titanium, steel, or tungsten. These harder materials increase distance and 'feel', allowing for better distance and pinpoint accuracy.

Advanced or expert players - or, simply consumers with the cash to spend - can consider getting their clubs custom-fitted at a sporting goods store or the pro shop of a local golf course. A trained professional can analyze your build, your size, and your swing to create the perfect set of clubs for you - based not only on the factors above, but additional adjustments to the club head and grip.

By the way, the Cleveland CG15 Oil Quench also features a traction wedge shaft that has a softer tip and is slightly stiffer further up the shaft to provide the feel and responsiveness that is so important for golfers when playing wedges without losing the full shot consistency that is also required.
