No. It will make it lighter because there is less material.

The average length of a golf club?

It depends on the club. Drivers are the longest clubs - most of them have shafts of around 45".

If you are referring to the average length of the golf clubs in a set, take out your 5 iron and measure that.

Explain how a nine iron is different from a three iron?

There would be three main differences, firstly a 9 iron has around 42 degrees of loft, therefore the ball will have a higher launch angle which will make it go higher. The 3 iron has about 21 degrees of loft, and therefore a lower launch angle, and the ball will go much further than the 9. The second difference would be the length of the shaft, the 9 iron shaft can be about 3 inches shorter than the 3 iron. In theory the longer the shaft, for greater the distance from the pivot, which would be your hands so the ball should go further. The 9 iron shaft allows for a better angle of attack, and allows you to compress the ball, and generate spin which is what you want. Also the shorter shaft is designed to give you more control. The final difference is that a 9 irons has bounce, about 8-10 degrees, this prevents the club from digging at impact. The 3 iron would have negative bounce maybe a couple of degrees.
