Raw Materials
Golf clubs are manufactured from a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, wood, and others. Different materials are chosen for different parts of the club based on their mechanical properties, such as strength, elasticity, formability, impact resistance, friction, damping, density, and others.

Club heads for drivers and other woods may be made from stainless steel, titanium, or graphite fiber-reinforced epoxy. Face inserts may be made from zirconia ceramic or a titanium metal matrix ceramic composite. Oversize metal woods are usually filled with synthetic polymer foam. Traditionalists can even buy woods that are made of real wood. Persimmon, laminated maple, and a host of exotic woods are used. Wood club heads are usually soaked in preserving oil or coated with a synthetic finish like polyurethane to protect them from moisture.

Club heads for irons and wedges may be made from chrome-plated steel, stainless steel, titanium, tungsten, beryllium nickel, beryllium copper, or combinations of these metals. Heads for putters may be made of all of the same materials as irons, plus softer materials like aluminum or bronze, because the velocity of impact is much slower when putting.

Club shafts may be made from chrome-plated steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon or graphite fiber-reinforced epoxy, boron fiber-reinforced epoxy, or titanium. Grips are usually made from molded synthetic rubber or wrapped leather.

Design
The rules of the United States Golf Association (USGA) have only a few brief paragraphs regarding the design of golf clubs. There are no restrictions on weight or materials, and only a few restrictions on dimensions. Shafts must be at least 18 in (457 mm) long. The distance from the heel to the toe of the head must be greater than the distance from the face to the back of the head. The cross-sectional dimension of the grip must not be greater than 1.75 in (45 mm) in any direction. Of all the rules, however, the most important one requires that the club ''shall not be substantially different from the traditional and customary form and make."

It is this last rule that sometimes gives club designers the fits. It means, for example, that club heads may not have features like aiming fins or holes to reduce aerodynamic drag. Shafts may not have flexible joints, and so forth. In short, anything that is not "traditional and customary" is not allowed. All new club designs must be submitted to the USGA for review and approval before they may be used in tournament play.

Within the USGA guidelines, many new features have been incorporated into golf clubs. Using computer-aided design programs and mathematical models of club and ball dynamics, designers have learned to utilize new materials, redistribute weight, and alter the general shape of the club in an attempt to help both professional golfers and weekend duffers improve their games.

One common feature of modern irons is perimeter weighting, which places most of the club head weight around the edges, leaving the center with less material. This added mass reduces the amount of club twist when the ball is struck towards the edge of the club, rather than in the center. The effect is to increase the size of the effective hitting area, or the "sweet spot" as golfers call it. The hollow oversize metal heads on some drivers have the same effect.

Another design feature of some modern clubs is the offset head, where the striking face is located to the rear of the centerline of the shaft. This places the golfer's hands slightly ahead of the ball at impact, which tends to square the club face and give better direction control.

Other design features help golfers make cleaner shots from uneven terrain, get the ball up in the air from grassy lies, and correct their tendency to hit to one side or the other. As with any product, some features offer more psychological help than physical help. Despite three decades of golf club design improvements, the driving distance of the best professional golfers increased only 12 yd (11 m) between 1968 and 1995, and the average winning score fell at a rate of only one stroke every 21 years.

The Manufacturing
Process
Every golf club maker uses a slightly different manufacturing process. The largest companies use highly automated machinery, while the smallest companies use hand tools. Some parts of the manufacturing process may be unique to one company and regarded as trade secrets.

Here is a typical sequence of operations used to produce a machine-made, perimeter-weighted golf iron.

Forming the head

1. The head is formed by a process called investment casting. A master die of the club head is made from metal. The die consists of two halves with a hollow cavity that is the exact shape and size of the desired club head. Molten wax is poured into the die cavity and allowed to harden.

2. When the wax is hard, the die is opened, and the wax pattern is removed. This process is repeated several times. Several wax patterns are attached to a central wax column, called a sprue, to form a tree.

3. The tree is dipped into a liquid mixture of powdered ceramic material, various chemicals, and a gelling agent. It is set aside until the coating dries. The tree is then placed in a container, and the container is filled with a liquid molding slurry, which is allowed to harden.

4. The hardened mold is heated to about 1,000-2,000° F (550-1,100° C) in an oven to melt the wax patterns. The melted wax runs out the bottom and any wax residue is vaporized. The mold is then inverted.

5. Molten metal for the club head is poured into the hot mold and allowed to harden. When the metal has cooled, the mold material is broken away from the tree, and the individual cast heads are cut off the sprue. The investment casting process produces parts with an excellent surface finish and no flash or parting lines to remove. The parts can be made from a wide range of metals and their weight is uniform from one part to another.

6. Most iron heads are heated treated to harden the outer surface. The head is heated either with a flame or an induction coil, and then quickly cooled. This causes the steel near the surface to form a different grain structure that is much harder than the rest of the head.

Forming the shaft
7 If the shaft is made of steel or stainless steel, it is formed by a process called tube drawing. A tube of the desired length is pulled part way through an opening in a die slightly smaller than the tube diameter, which causes the drawn portion of the tube to neck down in diameter. This process is repeated several times. Each time the die diameter is made slightly smaller, and the length of tube pulled through the die is several inches less. The result is a tube that decreases in diameter from about 0.50 in (13 mm) to about 0.37 in (9.5 mm) in seven or eight small steps spaced along the length of the shaft. If the shaft is made of steel, it is chrome plated after it is formed.
8 If the shaft is made of graphite fiber-reinforced composite material, it is formed by a process called pultrusion. A bundle of graphite fibers is pulled through a circular opening in one or more heated dies while epoxy resin is forced through the opening at the same time. The graphite fibers become imbedded in the epoxy and the heat makes the epoxy harden to form the shaft. The shaft is then cooled by air or water and cut to length. Graphite fiber-reinforced shafts are the same diameter along the entire length.

Assembling the club
9 There are several ways to fasten the head to the shaft. With some metal shafts, the shaft is inserted into the socket on the head and a small hole is drill crossways through both the socket and the shaft. A small metal pin is then pressed into the hole and held in place with an epoxy adhesive. With graphite shafts, the head is bonded to the shaft with an adhesive. This second process is becoming more common for all shaft materials, including metal shafts.
10 The other end of the shaft is placed in a hollow die and a rubber grip is molded around its upper portion. The shaft may then be labeled with an adhesive sticker to show the manufacturer, brand name, degree of flex, or other information.
11 The raised metal parts are polished to give the club a finished appearance. As a final step, any recessed lettering or logos on the club head may be filled with paint or another color finish. Adhesive stickers or adhesive-backed metal plates may be affixed to the club head for identification or decoration as well.
Quality Control
Golf clubs are treated with almost as much attention to specifications as components for aircraft. In fact most golf club manufacturers emphasize their specifications as a means of differentiating their clubs from the competition. Swing weight, lie angle, shaft torque, and a host of other specifications are not only important to the club designers, but are also important to the company's customers. In addition to dimensional checks and process controls, clubs are randomly tested for a variety of specifications that affect performance.

The Future
The popularity of golf is expected to continue to grow. As the number of recreational players increases, there will be an emphasis on designing clubs that make the game more enjoyable for the average golfer. Despite objections from purists, oversize club heads and other game-improving features will continue to be offered.

Ten Things You Thought You Knew About Golf Clubs $9.48 How much do you really know about your golf clubs? Did you know that: The lower the loft on your driver, the farther you'll hit it? Your new driver has a larger "sweetspot?" You are playing a stiff shaft, because it says so on it. Women's clubs are designed for women? Fine, but the problem is... NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE Tom Wishon, one of the leading golf club designers in the world, takes you through 10 myths that most golfers believe about their golf clubs. They are based on his best-selling book: The Right Sticks: Equipment Myths that Could Wreck Your Golf Game. "Most golfers are playing with clubs that will not-and can not possibly-meet their needs. They are designed from the factory to be wrong for their size strength and swing characteristics." Do you think: That longer drivers will hit the ball farther? The faster you swing, the stiffer your shaft should be? That your clubs are "just like the ones the pros use?" Concise. Interesting.

True Ympact Swing Trainer $99.95 "True Ympact Swing Trainer The True Ympact Golf Swing Trainer helps all golfers to maintain the consistent impact position for consistent ball striking. When we look across from a golfer, their arms and the golf shaft resemble the capital letter Y at address. But at impact, the lead arm functions as an extension of the golf club forming a lowercase y. With the True Ympact golf training aid, it is impossible to flip your wrists beyond the desired impact position. This consistent impact position makes you a consistent golfer.    The True Ympact Swing Trainer is Great for:  • Putting  • Chipping  • Bunkers  • Full Swing  • Pitching True Ympact Golf Training Aid Every year, amateur golfers spend millions on over-sized drivers, premium golf balls, expensive irons, putters and much more. But let's be realistic. You could give a Professional PGA Player a $100 set of starter clubs, and they'd still beat the vast majority of amateurs, even if the amateurs are playing with the most expensive gear on the market. Why? Simply put, 95% of your game has nothing to do with your gear. The PGA Pros know this. They've fine tuned the mechanics of their swing, ensuring that when their club strikes the golf ball, their arms, hands and club face are at the optimum position for impact -- every time. Here's how the True Ympact™ golf swing training aid will help your game: * TrueYmpact™ works with every club in your bag. * It's helpful to golfers at every skill level.

That is a rarity." Before you spend another dollar on golf gear, give the True Ympact golf swing training aid a shot.  How to wear the True Ympact golf training aid:  • Unfold the True Ympact training aid and loosen both arm straps as wide as possible.

TaylorMade R9 Driver $299.95 "TaylorMade R9 Driver The new TaylorMade R9 driver is the ultimate driver for those players that desire to optimize direction and ball flight with two clicks! Utilizing both Flight Control technology and also Moveable Weight Technology, the new TaylorMade R9 Driver offers every player the ability to customize their own driver to their preferences. Never before has this adjustability been available to anyone outside of the PGA Tour. Features - Taylormade R9 Driver  • Flight Control Technology allows player to customize face, lie, and loft angles.  • Movable Weight Technology  • Inverted Cone Technology that promotes long distance on off-center hits  • New classic head shape  • Fujikura Motore 65 stock shaft TaylorMade R9 Driver TaylorMade Golf pioneered adjustability in modern golf clubs with the r7 quad, which launched in 2004. It incorporated TaylorMade's revolutionary Movable Weight Technology (MWT), which gave golfers the power to change the clubhead's center of gravity (CG) to promote different types of ball flight. The r7 quad driver spawned a long list of TaylorMade clubs with MWT, including fairway woods, Rescue clubs, putters, and of course, more drivers. Each subsequent r7 driver introduced offered a significant boost in performance over the last, including the recently launched r7 Limited, which promotes 35 yards of side-to-side change in trajectory. "Five years after the debut of the r7 quad, the time has come to unveil the next revolution in golf club adjustability, a revolution made possible by a technology so groundbreaking that it warrants a passing of the torch," said Sean Toulon, TaylorMade's executive vice president of innovation. "That's why this driver isn't the next in the line of r7, but rather the first in the line of R9." TaylorMade Flight Control Technology What sets the TaylorMade R9 driver apart from all other drivers is that it incorporates our new TaylorMade Flight Control Technology, or FCT for short. With a simple twist of a wrench, FCT allows you to change the R9's face angle, loft and lie angle. How does FCT work? It starts with a small metallic sleeve positioned over the tip of the shaft. The shaft is secured to the clubhead with a specially made bolt in the bottom of the clubhead. The FCT bolt is designed to be retained in the well to eliminate the chance of losing it. The sleeve, made of high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, is ringed around the bottom with small teeth, which tightly mesh with a second ring of matching teeth within the hosel. You can change the clubhead's characteristics (face angle, loft, lie) by loosening the FCT bolt, rem
