Graphite Golf Clubs – A Crucial Tool
The selection of a right golf club is crucial as its choice can make or break the game. A proper identification of golf club need to made with great care as right choice can improve style and skills of player. The length of golf club, measurement of shaft and head size determines the technique adopted by a golfer. A golfer got many options to select, from steel to a graphite golf club that suits his playing style.
Graphite golf club: The graphite shafts in a golf club use variety of resins to bind layers of graphite fibers, covered around a steel rod called as mandrel. A thin layer of cellophane is then wrapped over graphite fiber in order to remain hold with mandrel. It is then placed in oven to bind graphite sheets and now its ready for the game after removal of uneven edges.
Graphite golf clubs have become popular over the years. These clubs are lighter than the steel golf clubs. An average graphite golf club weighs around 60 to 72 grams unlike the steel golf clubs which weigh around 110 to 125 grams. The light weight property of these clubs makes it possible to swing the ball to a larger distance. The lighter weight also exerts lower pressure to the back and shoulders of the player while swinging the ball. This lightweight feature of the graphite golf clubs has made them well-liked by amateurs as well as the women golfers and the senior citizens. The ability to extend the length of the graphite club makes them ideal for shorter people who can concentrate on the game without having to compromise on their playing technique.
The vibrations as a result of a swing are lower in a graphite golf club than in a steel club. A golfer who prefers lesser vibrations, therefore, favor a graphite golf club to a steel golf club. The choice, however, lies with the golfer. A player who is comfortable with the vibrations may stick to the steel golf clubs and not the graphite clubs.
Unlike the steel golf clubs graphite clubs require proper care for retaining its durability. Giving proper care can add to the life of the golf club. Care should be taken to protect the club from high temperatures as heat can adversely impact the bonding of the fiber to the mandrel. Exposure to the heat can remove the fastening properties of the adhesive that connect the shaft to the club heads.
