If you are New to Golf, you might have been in shock when you stepped into a Golf Shop for the first time. Not only because of the amount different products they have, including Clothe, Hats, Golf Accessories, Shoes, Technology, etc, but also by the amount of different Golf Clubs there are right now; and I am not only talking about the Brands (which are way too many) but also the different Iron Heads and designs.
As we all know, technology is crazy these days and almost every month, a Golf Company comes up with something “better” and improved, so we keep stacking the amount of Golf Clubs and Irons there are.
We know that for example to choose a Driver or a Wood is easier than to choose an Iron. And of course, the other factor is that a Wood, it is only 1 Club therefore, cheaper.
Irons are, well, it depends on what you want, but you can have 10, 9, 11, depending on what you want to have in your bag, so the fact of changing and adapting to Irons is more complicated and it usually takes longer to adapt and change them (if necessary), so with this Blog I hope to help you all out understand the Two types of Club Faces there are and by knowing how they are made, who uses them on the Tour and which one could be better for a particular Golf Game, then you can choose which one is the best for you and then go and try them out.
The First one I’m going to talk about is the Cavity-Back Irons.
These Clubs are the easiest to hit and generally cheaper for Golf Manufacturers to produce. These Clubs can have the weight on the Base or the Edges of the Head Club, with equal ease.
These clubs allow the player to hit a shot and have a greater percentage of “forgiveness”. You do not have to hit it perfect to be able to hit an acceptable shot and not be too far offline of your Target, and you do not lose too much distance either.
By moving the weight to the sole of the Club, not only gives the Player some “forgiveness” but also helps them get the ball off the ground more easily; this way, you can use less Loft and hit the ball farther.
Some examples of Cavity-Back Clubs are:
Ping K1 – Were the First Cavity-Back irons. Introduced in the 1960′s.
