Evolution of Golf Equipment: From Handcrafted Wood Clubs to Titanium Technology

Throughout the history of golf, players have continuously sought to enhance their equipment. Initially, golf clubs were handmade from wood by the players themselves or skilled craftsmen. As the game evolved, materials like hickory and persimmon became popular choices for club construction.

In the 20th century, advancements such as steel shafts, concave-faced wedges and the 14-club rule revolutionized club design and usage. Innovations like the Ping Putter and graphite shafts further transformed the sport. The introduction of metal club heads and hybrid clubs in the late 20th and early 21st centuries marked significant milestones in club technology.

Today, titanium club heads, adjustable drivers and personalized club manufacturing represent the latest trends in golf equipment catering to individual golfer preferences and needs.
