clubhead
Golf swing's endpoint
The clubhead is the striking end of a golf club—the weighted part that makes contact with the ball.
Clubhead design varies by club type: drivers have large, hollow heads for distance, while irons have angled faces for control.
The clubhead speed determines how far the ball travels.
