…..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**
Maltby Design
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.
His designs include woods, irons, putters and specialty clubs.
Tom Wishon Golf Technology
Having worked with the other geniuses of the component industry Tom Wishon has been resposible for over 100 "firsts" in component features that are still in use today. His knowledge is such that he is used as a Consulting Equipment Expert byGolf Digest. His designs are driven by constant research into all facts of golf club dynamics with the results of this research being published for all to use. Needless to say the quality of his components is excellent with extremely tight tolerances.
Bang
What`s in a name? Long drives for one thing. After success on the Long Drive Tours Bang has produced a range of quality heads at reasonable prices and huge ranges of lofts. Fairway woods, for instance, that go down to #23 and 53° loft!!
Geek Golf
They make woods only and set the World Long Drive Record in 2007 with a 551 yd wallop. Two driver styles in 6 lofts and 3 fairway wood lofts.
Shafts
Shaft selection to fit the player's game is critical. With this in mind we carry a large inventory of both steel and graphite shafts. Retrofitting a player's existing equipment to improve its performance is a large part of our business.
In refitting we include a swing analysis as a part of the process. This is done with the Caddy Doppler Radar or both. This give us data for the correct flex selection. Sometimes a True Temper Determinator is needed to confirm the stress load a player places on the shaft. In reshafting drivers we can evaluate the launch angles created by various shafts and install a shaft with the preferred results.
Unlike Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) we can buy single shafts and customize our new clubs or your old ones with models that the OEMs cannot afford to bring to market. For instance we were installing Fujikura shafts in 1999 and the OEMs did not offer these until 2002. Likewise the "Orange Crush" shaft popularised in KJ Choi’s driver, and the leading money shaft on tour in the last quarter of 2002, is still not offered by any OEM..
Basically we can supply any shaft manufacturer’s product. In steel we use True Temper, Rifle, Appollo, F.S.T. and KBS. In graphite – you name it. In graphite SK Fiber is very popular with our customers as the cost to performance ratio is superb. All other manufacturers are available on quick delivery.
Grips
Correct sizing of grip to the player’s hands is essential to maximize ball striking. We fit every player on every installation regardless of the grip manufacturer.
