Question

What does each iron for the golf clubs mean and do?

Answer 1

The invention relates to an iron golf club head including a front surface, or striking surface, and a rear surface, the striking surface and the rear surface being demarcated by an upper edge, a heel, a lower edge and a toe. The rear surface has an open cavity demarcated by a recess and a peripheral edge. The recess of the head according to the invention is a convex surface that extends from the peripheral edge of the cavity.  A golf club of the iron type has a metal head with a front striking face and a slot spaced rearwardly from the striking face to provide a flexible and resilient striking plate. The thickness of the plate is such that the plate will: (a) resiliently flex and store energy when the striking face impacts a golf ball; (b) return to its original position to transfer energy to the ball as the ball leaves the striking surface; and (c) not deflect to such an extent that golf balls hit off center on the plate will be dispersed excessively from the intended line of flight

Answer 2

The smaller the number on the iron, the further you will hit the ball.

Answer 3

Lower numbered irons (3,4,5) will go farther but have less loft. Higher numbered irons (7,8,9) will go shorter but have higher loft. For example, you could hit a 4 iron 140 yards (50 yards more than a 9 iron) but it will go half the height of a 9 iron.

Answer 4

due to the loft and length of each club they will have different distances and ball flight.

Answer 5

Each club is used to achieve different distances under certain conditions. Usually, the higher the number of the club, the less distance will be achieved. In general, these are the distances women can expect from each club:

* Driver 200 yds

* 3 Wood 180 yds.

* 5 Wood 160 yds.

* 7 Wood (sometimes used in place of a 4 iron) 150 yds.

* 9 Wood (sometimes used in place of a 5 iron) 140 yds.

* 5 iron 140 yds.

* 6 iron 130 yds.

* 7 iron 120 yds.

* 8 iron 110 yds.

* 9 iron 100 yds.

* pitching wedge 90 yds.

* sand wedge 80 yds.

* lob wedge 60 yds.

When using a wood, an easy, unforced, sweeping motion is used. You are trying to hit behind the middle of the golf ball and the club sweeps over the top of the grass as you come through the ball. Irons need a more upright/ downward swing. You are trying to hit down toward the middle-bottom of the golf ball and the club will continue slightly into the ground as you follow through.
