About: Wood (golf)

An Entity of Type: soccer club, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A wood is a type of club used in the sport of golf. Woods have longer shafts and larger, rounder heads than other club types, and are used to hit the ball longer distances than other types. Woods are so called because, traditionally, they had a club head that was made from hardwood, generally persimmon, but modern clubs have heads made from metal, for example titanium, or composite materials, such as carbon fiber. Some golf enthusiasts refer to these as "metals" or "metal woods" but this change in terminology is not strictly necessary, because while the material has changed, the style and intended use has not. The change to stronger materials has allowed the design of the modern woods to incorporate significantly larger heads than in the past. Because of the increase in club head size, in

  • Dřevo je typ golfové hole používaný na odpaly míčku na nejdelší možné vzdálenosti. Tyto hole jsou nejlehčí, nejdelší, mají zvětšenou hlavu (zpravidla dutou, či vyplněnou lehkým materiálem, na rozdíl od hybridů, které kombinují vlastnosti dřeva a železa) a jejich líc má nejmenší sklon. Dříve se tyto hole vyráběly ze dřeva, dnes se ale pro jejich konstrukci využívá železo, ocel pro odpalovou plochu, titan a guma pro pokrytí gripu (část hole uzpůsobené pro úchop). Během hry se používají většinou dvě nebo tři hole tohoto typu. V zásadě to jsou dřeva s označením loft 1 (driver) a 3, 5 a 7, které udávají sklon lícu a délku shaftu (násada, část hole mezi gripem a hlavou). Čím menší číslo, tím menší sklon a delší shaft. (cs)
  • A wood is a type of club used in the sport of golf. Woods have longer shafts and larger, rounder heads than other club types, and are used to hit the ball longer distances than other types. Woods are so called because, traditionally, they had a club head that was made from hardwood, generally persimmon, but modern clubs have heads made from metal, for example titanium, or composite materials, such as carbon fiber. Some golf enthusiasts refer to these as "metals" or "metal woods" but this change in terminology is not strictly necessary, because while the material has changed, the style and intended use has not. The change to stronger materials has allowed the design of the modern woods to incorporate significantly larger heads than in the past. Because of the increase in club head size, in 2004, the USGA created a new stipulation for the size of the club head. The legal maximum volume displacement of any clubhead (by the rules of golf) is 460 cm3 (28.1 cu in) Woods are numbered in ascending order starting with the driver, or 1-wood, which has the lowest loft (usually between 9 and 13 degrees), and continuing with progressively higher lofts and numbers. Most modern woods are sold as individual clubs allowing the player to customize their club set, but matched sets of woods, especially as part of a complete club set, are readily available. Odd-numbered lofts are most common in players' bags, though 2- and 4-woods are available in many model lines. The number of the club is mainly a reference for the player to easily identify the clubs; the actual loft angle of a particular number varies between manufacturers, and there is often some overlap of lofts (one 3-wood might be higher-lofted than a 4-wood of a different brand or model). Other identifiers have been utilized such as "strong" and "plus" to differentiate various lofts within a line of clubs. Woods generally fall into two classes, drivers and fairway woods, with a traditional set of clubs including a driver and one or two fairway woods (usually numbered 3 and 5). Many modern sets tend to include hybrid clubs, which combine some of the characteristics of a wood and an iron, to replace the 5 wood and low-lofted irons. During the 2010's, golf club producers popularized the idea of woods and hybrids that can be adjusted by the player to provide different settings, such as lofts. (en)
  • Drivers zijn de grootste clubs die men in een golftas tegenkomt qua lengte en kop. De driver heeft een van 8,5 tot 12,5 graden en kan de bal het verst slaan. De club wordt gebruikt om af te slaan op de tee en de bal zo dicht mogelijk bij de green te krijgen bij par 4 of 5. Slechts zelden wordt de driver gebruikt om vanuit de fairway of rough mee te slaan. Door de lengte van de club is de driver de moeilijkste club om mee te slaan, veel beginnende golfers gebruiken daarom een kortere club om mee af te slaan zodat ze ook meer controle hebben over hun slag. Vanaf 1 januari 2008 is er een nieuwe regeling van toepassing voor drivers, drivers met een COR boven de 0.83 en/of een volume van meer dan 460cc worden verboden. Op de site van de site van The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews staat een lijst van verboden en toegelaten drivers. (nl)
  • Con la parola Driver (oppure legno 1 o legno X) si identifica il bastone da golf generalmente utilizzato per i colpi dal tee di partenza che, sfruttato correttamente, può spingere la pallina fino a distanze superiori a 250 metri. Il colpo effettuato con un driver viene generalmente chiamato drive. (it)
