What is the difference between Woods and Irons?
A set of Golf Irons range from 3 to 9. Irons are golf clubs with a flat angled face and a shorter shaft than a wood, designed for shots approaching the green or from more difficult lies such as the rough, through or over trees, or the base of hills. Woods are long-distance clubs, meant to drive the ball a great distance down the fairway towards the hole. They generally have a large head and a long shaft for maximum club speed. Even though most ‘woods’ are made from different metals they are still called ‘Woods’ to denote the general shape and their intended use on the golf course. Most woods made today have a graphite shaft and titanium head.
