Clubmaking

FAQ’s

Q – The names of the club heads you sell are not well known. How do I know they will perform ?

A - Firstly judge by results, not the name written on the sole. For example, the brands that I can unreservedly recommend, combined with my custom fitting skills and experience, will give you a set that will outperform any of the models you could buy in standard form, off the rack from a golf store.

The big companies do make good heads, shafts and grips but built to average, standard specifications, falling short of being the best they could and should be for all the different kinds of golfers there are. That is what real custom fitting will do. The full custom fitting that I offer is something the big companies simply cannot offer. When companies have to sell millions of clubs every year to keep their shareholders happy, you can’t make them all different from each other, which is what real custom fitting requires.

Q – So, if these brands are so good why aren’t they advertised ?

A- The reason is money - no PGA Tour player plays or endorses anyone’s clubs for free. Even the pro who ranks 125th on the US money list commands around $75,000 a year to play and endorse a company’s clubs. The top 30 money winners on the tour get $400,000 up to several million a year. To make the money required to pay pros to play and endorse your clubs, you have to sell your clubs through every pro shop and golf store. The pro shops and retail stores simply cannot sell enough clubs to make their required sales unless they sell them in standard form, to be simply picked off the rack.

Q – Do you have the same equipment as the major manufacturers ?

A - You may have seen that the big companies have tour vans that go to every tour event to provide their contract pros with on site and on demand service. I have the same equipment offering you the same one on one custom service that the tour players get when they visit one of the big golf companies or need something done when they’re at a tournament.

So whether it is choosing the right design for your game, the specifications of your custom fit set for your size, strength and ability, or choosing a wedge that compliments your course conditions, that’s what my job is. To make this game a little bit easier to play and more enjoyable for you.

Q – If I order clubs from you, who will actually make them up ?

A – I will and you will normally have your new clubs 3 to 4 days from placing an order.

Q – I’ve read about shaft "pureing" or "spining". What does it mean ?

A – Current manufacturing processes cannot achieve a perfectly round graphite or steel shaft and either one or two spines result. A spine is a longitudinal line of stiffness running from butt to tip. During the “spining” process, these spines (normally opposite each other) are located, as is the “neutral bending plain” which falls in between the spines. Orientate the shaft in the head correctly (spines on top and bottom and the NBP facing/away from the ball) and the shaft will play at maximum consistency.

Q – Do you have the same equipment as the major manufacturers ?

A - You may have seen that the big companies have tour vans that go to every tour event to provide their contract pros with on site and on demand service. Guess what? You’ve got that right here with me. If something ever needs to be changed on your clubs, or your loft and lies need to be checked, I’m right here for you - I offer the same one on one, custom service to you that the tour players get when they visit one of the big golf companies or need something done when they’re at a tournament.

Think of me to your clubs as a teaching pro can be to your swing – so whether it is choosing the right design for your game, the specifications of your custom fit set for your size, strength and ability, or choosing a wedge that compliments your course conditions-that’s what my job is-to make this game a little bit easier to play and more enjoyable for you.
