What is another word for putting iron?
Pronunciation: [pˈʊtɪŋ ˈa͡ɪ͡ən] (IPA) 
Putting iron is a type of golf club mostly used for putting. It is also known as a flatstick, a putter, or a ping, and many other names that golf enthusiasts use. Occasionally, people refer to putting iron as a "short iron" or "short stick," despite the fact that it is not an iron at all. The term "wedge" is also used. Golfers use putting irons to hit the ball when they are on the green or close to it. The club's length, weight, and striking face make it ideal for producing a clean strike and keeping the ball on the ground, enabling players to make precision putts in golf.
