Golf clubs are used in the sport of golf to hit a golf ball. Each club is composed of a shaft with a lance(grip) and a clubhead. There are many specialized designs of club, falling into three general categories: woods, used for long-distance fairway shots; irons, the most versatile class used for a variety of shots, and putters, used mainly on the green to roll the ball into the cup. While the variation of clubs can differ greatly between golfers, a set used to play a round of golf must have no more than 14 clubs. A full set typically consists of a driver, two fairway woods (generally 3- and 5-woods), a set of irons from 3 to 9, a pitching wedge, a sand wedge, a putter, and one more club of the player's choice. Many players opt to replace the 3- and 4-irons (which are more difficult to hit) with Hybrid or Utility clubs with the same loft as the iron it replaces. Hybrids are a cross between a wood and an iron, giving these clubs the wood's long distance with the iron's familiar swing. These clubs generally are used instead of low-numbered irons. While Mizuno Golf's MX-950 iron set offers a Hybrid 3 and 4 iron replacement, Top Flite produces entire set of hybrid rons from 3 all the way to pitching wedge.
