Golf Irons Golf Equipment
I have a few questions on the equipment that you use in golf. Please can you answer all these questions?
I am 17 years old and I have just signed up to become a member at my local golf club and have bought all 14 clubs that I should need, second-hand, for £100.
I want some help understanding all these things which I don't understand...
Here are my questions:
1. What do all the different one digit numbers mean, above or below the make of golf balls (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4; what do these numbers tell me about the golf balls?) E.g. a Titleist ball with a number 4 above the writing.
2. What do the different single digit numbers mean on all the irons and woods; i.e from a number 3 on an iron, to a number 9 on an iron; and 1 wood (driver) to a 7 wood?
3. (The last question) What are, both, the pitching and sand wedge used for?
Thanks for any help.
1. On golf balls, it doesn't mean much, other than a way to mark your ball. ("Hey guys, I'm playing a Nike One Black, number 2".) You should be making your own mark anyway, for further proof the ball is yours.
2. The numbers are just numerical orderings, based on loft. Your driver (1 wood) will be between 8 and 12 degrees, and 99% of the time, should only be played off the tee. 3 wood is between 13 and 15 degrees, and a versatile club. It doesn't fly as far as the driver, but due to the higher loft, you'll have more control. Same with the 7 wood, which is usually between 17-19 degrees.
the 3 iron means it has the least loft and flies the farthest, on down to the 9 Iron, which has the most loft and flies the shortest.
3. The PW is between 45 and 48 degrees. It can be used like any other iron, and for shots inside 100 yards (pitches and chips). The SW is between 54 and 56 degrees, and the same rules apply. The SW also has a flange on the back of the club. This flange adds weight to the back, making it ideal for blasts out of the sand around the green. The best idea for chipping/pitching is to have the same type of swing. To differ the distances, just change clubs.

Williams Golf Players FW32 Polesitter Irons 3-PW $1799.95 Williams Golf Players FW32 Polesitter Irons The Polesitter iron series was designed with a target on the better player. This iron is precision forged with the highest grade of steel. The iron is designed with thinner top lines and narrower soles to produce the type of look that better players long for. This iron features Densimet, a Formula 1 specific weighting system that features the second heaviest metal in the world. The combination of precision forging with the Densimet weight systems, produces the feel and playing characteristics that better players long for.

Williams Golf Gold Series FW32 Qualifier Irons 3-PW $2999.95 Williams Golf Gold Series FW32 Qualifier Irons The Qualifier iron series also feature design elements that originated from the Williams team of engineers.

The Gold Series from Williams Sports will target the golfer that is looking for something outside the traditional realm of golf club styling. This series will share the same technological and aerodynamic advancements that are the core foundation of the entire Williams Sports line. The Gold Series will separate itself from the other series by modifications to the cosmetics and finish of each product. The most noticeable and recognized difference will the exquisite 24 karat gold plating on all exposed metal surfaces. To compliment this finish, we have chosen a rich metallic color to bring out the luster of the gold plating. The Gold Series will be the perfect choice for the golfer that is looking for the combination of luxurious styling in a ultra-high performance product designed to perform at the high level. Features INCONEL Inconel is a nickel based material that is used by the Williams F1 team of engineers in their production of exhaust parts for the FW32 race car. Inconel is effective because of its ability to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining its structural integrity. The key benefit that steams from this material is the fact it has a higher tensile strength than stainless steel, but due to its nickel base provides for a softer feel. This material is typically used in a machine or forging application which works well for golf equipment. All of these key attributes combined provide the reasoning for Williams Sports use of Inconel as its baseline material for the entire Qualifier series of irons.
