The typical lofts for irons range from 16 to 48 degrees. Modern day irons have lower lofts than their contemporaries from the old days, caused by the desire of the average golfer to hit the ball as far as the professionals. This was a difference in skill, but the equipment manufacturers were happy to comply. This resulted in the modern day pitching wedge to have a loft similar to an old 8 iron. Nowadays pitching wedges may have lofts up to 45 degrees, though the difference in distance between the professionals and average golfers remains.\nConsistent loft angles will give you more consistent distance, all things being equal. Your clubmaker can check those for you.\n\nWoods    Old Standard Loft Angle  Modern Avg.

PartyCrasher:\n\nThese answers are well thought out. But I would recommend a bit different set makeup for you. \n\nIrons: 5-Sand Wedge (56 degree SW).\n\nMake sure to get a cavity backed set, something with offset. If you tell the people at the golf store that you're looking for a forgiving set of irons that's cavity backed and offset, they'll be able to help you. \n\nWoods and hybrids:\n\nGet an 18 degree 5 wood, a 21 degree 7 wood, and two hybrid clubs (these are a cross between a wood and iron) Hybrids: 22 and 25 degree. These are much easier to hit and much more forgiving than long irons. They will make the game easier for you starting out. \n\nGet at least a 13 degree driver, with as big a head as possible, to make it easier to hit. Make sure you get it from a major manufacturer, the off brands may look the same, but their quality control is terrble. \n\nAny 34 or 35 inch putter that looks good to you, one that looks like a Ping Anser is a good choice. Almost all the major manufacturers have a design that copies the original Ping putter. \n\nThis leaves you with thirteen clubs. You can add one more later because the limit is 14, but I would start with this and see how it goes. This set will not be cheap, you will probably spend over 1000.00 easily. \n\nYou might want to see what irons and woods you like at the golf store and then check ebay and see if you can get them used. Just make sure they're not too beat up!! \n\nThe January 2006 issue of Golf Magazine has an article that I referenced for this recommendation, pick it up and use it as a guide to begin your club purchases! \n\nHave fun!!!

This is one of those look hard but not really math riddles. The answer is actually 1800 degrees. Also known as a five full spin turn. Where will it be? You just leave it there!\n\n1440 is 4 full spins. But that under 1441 so go to the next full spin, 1800 degrees. 1800 is between 1441 and 1892 so that's the answer.\n\nI can't actually think any other easier spin than a full spin. You don't have to move or rotate it at all. You just leave it in it's original spot.

I can see replacing your 3 & 4 irons but not the five. The hybrids are mnore forgiving.  However, a standard five iron is an extremely accurate club and given the pitch you shouldn't have a problem such a club.

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.\nSupplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.\n\nJust think in alphabetical order: C comes before S, and 90 comes before 180.

the club face is small and easy to make a mistake with. One common error is trying to come in from an arc and straighten up 2 inches (5 cm) from the ball ... to have a better chance of hitting correctly, straighten up the swing 7 inches (18 cm) before the ball.\n\nThere are a few sites with good info on bettering your golf swing. Areas to make sure are right are the Stance; Grip; Pivoting the sholders; keeping left arm straight; keeping eye on the ball; practice lots. \nMy first tip though is something i haven't seen in many tips, yet helped my game a lot

From the point where your 52 degree angle is going to be, measure 1-9/16" over and 2" up.  The angle nearest your 1-9/16 measurement will be pretty close to 52 degrees (actually about 52.00126756, but in making jigs and other shop fixtures, I think 1-9/16" over and 2" up are pretty close).

First, make sure your clubs are custom fit for you; correct length, correct flex, correct loft and lie, correct grip size, correct weight, ie., balanced (are they uniform in feel and play), and more important that your set is made up of clubs that fit your game, ie., no 1 or 2 iron in the bag when you should be hitting a 7 or 5 wood. Second, Where on the golf course are you waisting shots? Work on that part of your game, get help from your golf pro if needed.  Third, Play Play Play Practice Practice Practice. As my Dad once told me, your not going to get any better sitting here on your ass.  So get off your ass and go play, make sure your equipment is right and get help when you need it, the rest while fall into place. HAND Have A Nice Day!!!

This is really easy, let's take a shot from 150 yards as an example. Normally I would hit a 9 iron from this distance. Now if I wanted to hit it lower I would take out a 7-iron and take my normal stance, but I would grip down on the handle of the club about 1.5 inches, then I would make my normal swing, the shot should come out lower and with less spin, so it will cut through the wind and run a bit when it hits the ground. \n\nHope this helps!

This is the set up for the R7 460,...\n\nIf you want to hit a draw, put the 14 gram weight in the heel and the two gram weight in the toe.  This allows the toe of the club to close quicker than the heel because there is less weight in the toe.  This promotes a draw.  \n\nIf you want to fade the ball, reverse the weighting in the club.  Put the 14 gram weight in the toe and the 2 gram weight in the heel.  This allows the heel to close faster than the toe thus promoting a fade.\n\nYou can also go to taylormadegolf.com and buy additional weights in other denominations.  You always have to keep 16 grams of weighting in the club for it to work correclty and remain compliant with USGA club specs. \n\nIf you want less draw, raise the weight in the toe, say to a 4 gram, and then put a 12 gram in the heel.  They actually sell a set of all weights for $150.00 at the PGA Super Store.   If you want the set up for the R7 425, shoot me an email and I will give it to you,... same idea but four weights instead of two,...

I will write them as ordered pairs.\n17: (1,17) and (-1,-17)\n-24: (-1,24), (1,-24), (2,-12), (-2,12), (3,-8), (-3,8), (4,-6), and (-4,6)\nNow try the other two.\nHint: 18 will have 6 factor pairs, and -18 will have 5 factor pairs.

The other guys statement is correct, but he didn't really answer the question. The tour pros do have a great yardage book,  in fact most of them use a book specially designed for the course they're playing, not available to anyone except them. Then they have a pin sheet with the pin location for the entire week and their respective yardages on the green. \n\nHowever, even armed with all this information, you are correct, the yardages are still not exactly correct. \n\nBut you have to remember a golfer has to take many things into account when pulling a club, and this is a golfer at any level of play. For instance, I take these things into account when I pull a club:\n\n1) Lie - rough or fairway? Uphill, Downhill, Sidehill?\n2) Wind - Speed and Direction\n3) Temperature? Hot or cold?\n4) Is the green soft or hard?\n5) Do I need to hit the shot around an obstacle?\n6) Do I need to curve this shot to get to the pin?\n\nThese are just a few of the many things a golfer has to take into account when figuring out which club to hit, it's not just strictly yardage driven. Although yardage will give you a good baseline target to start your computations. \n\nRemember this, many people consider Ben Hogan the greatest ball striker and iron player of all time......he NEVER used a yardage book. That statement should tell you everything you need to know. \n\nHope this helps!

The scoring system for golf is actually very simple.\n\nEach hole on every course is given a "par" score..in other words the number of shots it should take you to get your ball from the tee to the hole. The par for a hole depends on its length and difficulty. \n\nA "bogie" is  the par score for a hole plus one..so if you take 5 shots on a par 4 hole, thats a bogie..and thats not good!\n\nA "birdie" is the par score for a hole minus one..so if you only take 3 shots on a par 4 hole, that's a birdie...and that's good!\n\nThe winner is the golfer who take the fewest shots to go round all 18 holes on a course.\n\nThe best way to learn is to play,  or just watch the big tournaments on the TV. You will soon pick it up.

the reference number for 135 degrees is 45 degrees and is found in quadrant 2\nsec 45 is also the same as \n1/(cos45)\nif cos 45 is \nsqrt(2)/2 (but since it is found in the second quadrant it would be\n-sqrt(2)/2 \n1/(-sqrt(2)/2) would be\n-2/(sqrt(2)\nwhich can also be written as\n-sqrt(2)\nthus your answer is\n\n-sqrt(2)

Very low. I'm not actually going to do the computation for you but I'll show you how it's set up.\n\nThis would be easiest to figure out on a graphing calculator like the TI-89.\n\nI'm assuming that the 1/3500 is for a single hole, so note that you're playing 50*18 holes in the season, or 900 holes. Getting 3 holes in one and 897 not is going to be the odds of three holes in one((1/3500)^3) mutiplied by the odds of 897 not((3499/3500)^897) multiplied by the ways to picking any three random holes of the 900 for the holes-in-one(this is done by a function called choose, denoted 2c5 for the number of ways to pick any two of five slots.\n\nThe answer is:\n((1/3500)^3) * ((3499/3500)^897) * (3c900)\n\nIt's going to be a very small number indeed. Congratulations on your fantastic season, I hope you do as well again next year.

How to Properly Re-Grip Your Golf Clubs\n\nEvery golfer who decides to re-grip his own clubs should remember that the grip is the only direct contact with the club - so re-gripping must be done properly.\n\nTo properly re-grip a club, you must know the core size of the grip that you will require, and the size of the grip that best fits your hands.\n\nGrips come in standard core sizing: .520", .560", .580", .600" and .620". There are also special-core-sized grips for oversized-butt diameter shafts, however these types of shafts are very rare now.\n\nDetermining the core size you require is simple. Just measure the diameter of the butt of the shaft you are going to re-grip. \n\nThe diameter of the shaft should match the core diameter of the grip.\nNow determine what size grip best fits your hands. Grips come in regular, mid-size, and oversized or jumbo. To determine which grip best fits your hands, measure from your wrist (base of hand) to the end of your longest finger. If the dimension is less than 6.5 inches, use a junior grip; 6.5 to 7 inches, use a .560" grip; 7 to 7.5 inches, use a .580" grip; 7.5 to 8 inches, use a mid-size grip and over 8 inches choose a jumbo grip.\n\nOnce you have chosen your new grips and are ready to start, make sure that you have the following materials:\n\n• Grip solvent (place in a squeeze bottle).\n• Two-sided 2-inch-wide grip tape and a container to catch the unused solvent.\n• You'll also need a vise and a special rubber shaft holder.\n\nAll of the above should be available from major component companies.\n\nThe grip solvent I like to use is Coleman Camp Fuel. It does a great job and leaves no residue. DO NOT USE Varsol or WD40 - they leave an oily residue and some grips will become loose.\n\nBefore you start you must remove the old grips and the old grip tape. This needs to be done to leave the shaft clean and ready for the new tape and grip. Once you've done this, you are ready to ready to re-grip your clubs:\n\n• Put the shaft holder over you club shaft and tighten in the vise. Be careful not to overtighten if you are re-gripping graphite shafts - they can crack. Tighten just enough that the shaft does not move.\n\n• Cut a piece of grip tape about 8 inches long. Place it along the butt of the shaft, leaving about a half-inch over the end of the shaft. Wrap the tape around the shaft, making full contact for the length of the tape. Squeeze the tape together at the end of the shaft and push it slightly into the shaft to seal the end of the club.\n\n• Squeeze solvent along the tape. Fill the grip about three-quarters full of solvent. Put your finger over the hole in the end of the grip, squeeze the grip opening closed and shake the grip so the solvent covers the entire inside. Pour the solvent along the tape and be ready to install the grip.\n\n• Push the grip up and over the shaft butt. Hold the grip by the front and back and push using equal pressure with both hands. Once you start the grip sliding over the tape, do not stop until the grip is completely on the shaft.\n\n• Clean any excess solvent from the grip and let it sit for an hour. Then you're ready to go play.
