clubhead is divided into trekøller (woods) and iron clubs (irons) . Previously,
trekøllene shafts of steel and heads of three, but modern trekøller now have
massive heads of metal. Iron Sticks have more leaf-shaped steel heads, and
unlike with trekøller often turn the club into the turf or sand during the
battle. Both types of bat found in numbered sets, where the club loft, which is
the angle of head impact surface increases with increasing number. Impact angle
determines how far it is possible to turn the club. Clubs with large loft gives
