... and How We Select Them

 

 

HEADS

 

We use only heads from recognised designers who are prepared to divulge their speicifications, quality standards and the purpose of their design features.  We do not use knock offs or clones as these heads do not meet the tolerances necessary for good fittings and are only cosmetic copies.  Having personally seen and measured the specs of the horrific counterfeit "Taylormades" and "Callaways" coming out of China, I feel sorry for anyone who wasted their $200 - $300 to purchase these.  Something that doesn't work and never will is not a bargain.

 

Because of the expertise of the designers involved our heads are at the forefront of technology with cutting edge designs that meet or exceed the quality of top of the line clubs from major Original Equipment manufacturers.

 

**OUR MAJOR SUPPLIERS**

 

KZG & Carlton Golf

 

KZG first established itself with highly specialized Maraging Steel Technologies supplying heads to Orlimar.  From this start they have created woods with both maraging steel faces, fully Titanium heads and now the newest cobalt face technology.  In irons they have produced the largest and most widely accepted range of forged heads from blades to mid size cavity backs.  Clubs that can be enjoyed by both pros and average players.

 

The Gemini Driver is currently ranked #1 in the world by several independant testing agencies.

 

The Carlton range is part of their family in a different price bracket.

Heads designed by Ralph Maltby, member of the Golf Hall of Fame as a Designer and Author.  He is the conceiver of the Playability Factor which aims to produce heads of quantitifiable playability characteristics so that they can be more easily selected to fit the players hitting pattern.  Maltby has designed products for such well known companies as Wilson, McGregor, Tommy Armour and consults with many others.
