Club types guide

Longest club in the bag; used off the tee for maximum distance. Loft is usually 9–12°. Fitting focuses on loft, shaft, and head design for your swing speed and launch.

3-wood, 5-wood, etc. Used from the tee or fairway for long shots. More loft and shorter shaft than driver for control and consistency.

Replaces long irons for many players. Easier to launch and more forgiving; great for par 5s and long par 3s.

Numbered set (3–9, plus PW) for approach shots and tee shots on short holes. Fitting covers length, lie, shaft, and category (game improvement vs players).

Pitching, gap, sand, and lob wedges for shots around the green and in the 130-and-in range. Loft and bounce are key for your conditions and swing.

Used on the green. Length, head shape (blade vs mallet), and alignment style are fitted to your stroke and preference.
