In the course of a few hundred years of development,golf clubs has undergone numerous changes with this sport.The things which are the most overwhelmed and praised for people are renovation and replacement of applied materials of the head.Today,the technology beared with the small ball makes we have to surprise by the designer's well-intentioned design,but all those who more or less obscure where does the technical terms come from in the end and what the point is.Let us have a trip of the evolution of golf's materials.
1."Wood" cloned several
"Woods" ( Callaway Diablo Fairway Wood )the term is still the continuation of the name of "wood wood" a century ago.In today's popular wood,the wood wood have disappeared.Golf historians believe that the production of golf clubs began between 15 and 16,because people in the Netherlands found left head fragments over that age.Early wood had solid shaft,heavy head,grips and the handle entangled with lambskin leather;club head commonly used beech wood,apple wood, Lei and Li trees were widely used too.Precisely,the shaft was made by persimmon tree wood in the beginning of 1990's.Scots introducted persimmon from the North American,and used it to manufacture golf club head.Persimmon wood is natural dense,hard,resilient and with grain appearance,and not easily cracking,is a good material to create golf head.
In fact, about early in the 18 century,the metal head of the wood had already seen,but they were only used to deal with the ball on special difficult place,and later replaced the proboscis wood. The change in golf club head is not only in the material,but also in shape.Besides the early short-nosed head and long-nose head, the hard wood shaft clubs also have big heavy square and round and oval-shaped concave clubhead.
For a long time, persimmon wood wooden wood had always been dominant until the late 1980's to early 1990's.Some well-known golf manufacturers try to use hard enough and enough light carbon fiber(Graphite) as wood's material.However, due to non-durable carbon fiber heads,they were soon replaced by enlarged irons.The Well-known U.S. brand Lynx and Taylor Made began to make the golf club head with the iron.At that time,Lynx did not pushed the iron head on th market successfully.Until Taylor Made Burner Series,a considerable shock was caused on the market.Soon,introduction of the Callaway Big Bertha Series were welcomed by the general golfers.
With the 90's open space-related technology by the United States,the titanium alloyis which were widely used in space shuttle were immediately selected as golf material by manufacturers and gradually replaced titanium iron wood.Various titanium wood was introduced by the big and fomus companies,from 1995's Callaway GBB,Taylor Made Ti-Bubble 250cc zoom-wood to 97 year's 290cc or even 300cc large wooden head.This golf head had a large hitting area for its big clubhead ,relatively easy to hit the ball,but its disadvantage was:its center of gravity was not low enough and the shaft was too long to control.So 300cc design was gradually phased out,but due to the development of technology,in recent years,it is valued again.Titanium material owns the characteristics of both hard and light,so it is ideal matrial for making Driver,because the hard titanium material allow to make a bigger face to increase the sweet spot.The capacity of traditional iron is 180cc, titanium alloy head now can really be about 250cc-300cc.
Recently, even the most cutting-edge technology pre-nanometer technology has been applied in the golf industry.At the beginning,people used nanotechnology to create golf to make the ball fly father and more straight and soon this technology was introduced into the club manufacturing.Ti Wilson's Dd5 Nano Driver used nanotechnology.
After several hundred years's development,golf manufacturers have made great progress,but as the continuous development of materials and science and technology,the manufacture of golf clubs will be more rapid.
