The glove is another useful piece of equipment. The majority of golfers will wear a club on their off-hand (i.e., a right-hander will wear a glove on their left hand). The golf ball can assist in maintaining a strong grip on the club without having to hold it too tightly. To clean the golf ball and/or the club head, use a towel. Do not use soap or water. Golf clubs are made up of two main parts: the shaft and the club head. The club shaft is the solid member that provides support for the club weight as well as allowing players to make proper contact with the ball. Shafts come in various lengths and materials depending on the type of game you want to play. Metal woods and irons have hollow metal shafts that are light yet strong enough to provide power when swung. Wood shafts are typically less expensive than metal shafts but tend to be heavier and more flexible which may not be ideal for every player. A hybrid club has a wooden shaft but also includes a metal top hat for added strength and durability. This type of club is best used by players who like to swing hard and hit many balls per hour because wood can become tired if used excessively. The club head is the component that you actually hit the ball with. It contains the club's face, which is how you strike the ball. The size and design of this part of the club determine what kind of shot you can expect from your club.
