CUSTOM GOLF CLUB MAKER

As far back as I can remember, I have always wondered what makes
things work. This obviously played some part in earning a
Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from the
University of Alabama in 1968. Although golf clubs are not quite
as complicated, there is a science to being a golf club maker and
making golf clubs that perform as a matched set. Understanding golf
clubs, the physics behind them, and manufacturing processes is what
led me to realize that name brand OEM equipment is highly overpriced
(half the cost is marketing) and in most cases highly overated. Custom
clubmakers know that there is no magic to the heads and shafts being
better than those of component companies. In fact most OEM heads are
not as playable as the ones we offer. Steel  shafted clubs are basically
the same whether  you buy OEM or component clubs.
So why pay more?
However, graphite shafted golf clubs fall into a different catergory.
There is a tremendous difference In quality available in graphite shafts.
Although most golfers select clubs based on the perception that OEM
clubs are better because they cost more, the cost has nothing to do with
how good they are. From an engineering point of view cost alone means
nothing. The quality and design of the head and shaft combined with the
approach and method of assembly means everything. With our clubs you
will find these claims to be true:

• 1.) Our custom made steel shafted golf clubs will perform as well or
  better than the brand name OEM off the shelf clubs.
• 2.) Our custom made graphite shafted golf clubs will perform much
  better than the brand name OEM off the shelf clubs.

It is also very important to understand that when comparing prices to purchase
graphite shafted custom golf clubs, that even if the heads and shafts are
identical, the finished assembled products will differ from a true custom
clubmaker and anyone who just claims to be one.

We are a small, two person (father and son) company that believes in quality
over quantity. There are two ways to run a custom golf club making business.

1.     You can limit the size of your business and do everything yourself.

2.     You can hire others. While this enables volume to increase it
        also lowers the quality.

We are not condemning large companies. They truly can do repetitive
mass production quite well, but custom golf clubs are for individuals
and cannot be mass produced effectively. Having been a Certified
Class A Clubmaker for the past 12 years with the Professional Clubmakers
Society, we discovered a real need in the club making industry. You cannot
buy consistent clubs or club sets on graphite shafts that are mass
produced. The process of mass producing golf clubs with inconsistent graphite
shafts has led to the myth that steel is more accurate than graphite.
One of the main variables in distance is shaft flex. Since graphite
shafts have no step patterns they can be frequency matched to exact flexes.
One of the main variables in accuracy or direction is shaft torque . While
more flexible graphite shafts have a higher torque than steel they are sufficient
for slower swing speeds. Stiffer shafts have lower torques comparable to or
lower than steel. The problem of accuracy and consistency exists only
because of the shafts and the method of assembly being used by the manufacturers.
The graphite shaft upgrades that we offer as options are the truest, most consistent
graphite shafts on the market. With our graphite shafted custom made golf clubs feel,
distance, and accuracy, we have almost a 100%conversion rate from steel to graphite
once our customers have tried it.
