Golf equipment is the most important component in a good golf game and comes much before the apparel and the extras. A good set of golf clubs, the main golf equipment needed, decides on the quality of the player, as well as his or her lasting throughout the whole course. Other equipment such as the balls and shoes decide on the player's taste and how good his game would be.

Golf Club

A golfer usually is allowed to carry a golf club set consisting of up to fourteen clubs. This golf equipment set comes many varieties, namely in five different types, which are; woods, irons, putters, hybrid and wedges.

Woods are a type of golf club which is used in playing long shots from the fairway and the rough. The irons are another type of golf club which is used in playing precision shots from both the fairway and the rough. The putters are used mostly on the greens and at times when playing from bunkers and for approach or advance shots.

The hybrid is a combination of the irons and woods, which is mostly used for long shots from hard grounds and the rough. Wedges are used to play shorter shots from rough and hard ground such as sand or the rough.

There are many manufacturers of good golf clubs, but the most famous ones are Nike, Callaway, and Mizuno Golf.

Golf ball

This golf equipment is another important feature to a player. Golf balls nowadays come in two-piece, three-piece and even four-piece forms. These are much different from those used in the old days of golf matches, these balls are very much more responsive and durable, as well as last longer compared to the former balls.

There are many good and famous makers of golf balls. Just to name a few; Maxfli, Ben Hogan, Precept, Nike, Callaway, Mizuno, and many more. These makers have a vast range of balls with competitive level of quality. Most of the balls nowadays come with super-features such as having thermoplastic urethane as covers and having titanium, nickel or cobalt cores.

Golf shoes

This is another important piece of golf equipment that a player should have, besides the above two. This golf equipment decides how good the player can be, besides his golf club itself. This is because the shoes that he is wearing is responsive to his movements and determines the amount of energy reserved for a good swing through the way he is standing and putting the pressure on the shoes.
