Clubhead

The clubhead is the part of the golf club that strikes the ball.

Its shape, size, weight distribution, and face design all influence launch, spin, forgiveness, and overall ball flight.

Drivers and fairway woods focus on maximizing speed and stability, while irons and wedges focus more on control, precision, and turf interaction. Modern clubheads often use multi-material construction to increase forgiveness and maintain ball speed across a larger area of the face.

Fitters study how a golfer interacts with the clubhead during impact. Toe or heel strikes, turf contact, launch height, and spin patterns all help determine whether the head design is a good match. Some golfers perform better with larger, more forgiving heads, while others prefer compact shapes that offer more workability.

Choosing the right clubhead ensures the player gets predictable performance and cleaner contact throughout the bag.
