Our Clubmaking

• Our  first step is to check the loft, clubhead weight and face angle of the clubhead to the specfications ordered for the golfer based on the fitting session.  If the clubhead doesn't meet the exact ordered specifications, the clubhead is returned to the manufacturer.  This careful checking ensures that the clubhead is exactly what is required for the golfer.  We suggest that all golfers should have the loft measured on their current driver to see if it's correct.
• Our next step is to tip trim the shaft to the exact shaft frequency as determined by the fitting session.  Based on a detailed process developed by the Professional Clubmakers Society, we can set the shaft stiffness or frequency based on a golfer's swing speed.  The "off the rack" manufacturers use the shaft manufacturers trim instructions.  It's important to remember that  there is not a industry standard for shaft flexes, each manufacturer decides their own standards. 
• We then butt trim the shaft to the exact length specification from the fitting session.  During the fitting session we not only measure the golfer for clublength, we have several test shafts in various length to use in the fitting process.
• Our next step, is to determine the shaft orientation or to spine the shaft.  This step is optional since the position of the shaft may result with the screen printing on the shaft being in a non-traditional location.  The shaft is then checked to be sure that we have flat line oscillation. This step ensures the shaft is set in the position for the most consistent optimal performance.
• Then the shaft and clubhead is "dry fitted" and tested for swingweight.  The necessary weights or other swingweight adjustments are made to obtain the swingweight required by the fitting session. 
• One of the last steps is to assemble the clubhead and shaft with epoxy.  Then, after curing, the correct size grip is installed.
• The club is ready to be delivered to the customer.  We include our warranty and specification sheet, so if the club is damaged repairs can be made to the exact specifications from the fitting session

  Building a Set of Irons 

• Our first step is to check the clubheads to the manufacturers specifications.  Exceptions to the specifications are noted and any clubheads outside of our normal adjustment parameters are returned to the manufacturer.  This very seldom occurs  with our premium clubhead suppliers.
• We then match the shafts for weight and frequency, rejecting those shafts outside of the acceptable tolerance.  Once the shafts matched for a complete set, each shaft is marked to indicate the clubhead.  The heavier and stiffer shafts are designated for the shorter clubs.
• Our next step is to tip trim the shaft to the exact shaft frequency as a result of the fitting session.  Based on a detailed process developed by the Professional Clubmakers Society, we can set the shaft stiffness or frequency based on a golfer's swing speed.  The "off the rack" manufacturers use the shaft manufacturers trim instructions.   It's important to remember that  there is not a standard for shaft flexes, each manufacturer decides their own standards. We then butt trim the shaft to the exact length specification from the fitting session.
• Our next step, is to determine the shaft orientation or to spine the shaft.  This step is optional for golfers using graphite shafts since the position of the shaft may result in the screen printing on the shaft being in a non-traditional location.  The shaft is then checked to be sure that we have flat line oscillation.  This step ensures the shaft is set in the position for the most consistent optimal performance.  
•  Then the shaft and clubhead is "dry-fitted" and checked for either swingweight or the MOI rating.  The necessary adjustments are made to obtain the correct swingweight or MOI rating from the fitting session.
• The shaft and clubhead is assembled using epoxy and after drying the correct sized grip is installed. 
• A final check of the loft and lie is completed and necessary adjustments made. 
• Using the above steps, only the 6 iron is completed.  This club is used as a prototype and the customer tests the club to ensure that it meets the specifications and performance expected from the fitting session.  If acceptable, then entire set is completed.  If not acceptable, the necessary adjustments are made and this step repeated. 
• The completed set is delivered to the customer with a warranty and club specifications.  The specifications can be used if a club requires a repair, so that the repaired club is the same as the original. 
• The customer is asked to play several rounds and review the results with us.  Based on the review any adjustments are made to the lies of individual clubs.
• You can see that the manufacturers of "off the rack" clubs cannot assemble their clubs using the time and effort involved in the steps above.  These steps along with the performance based fitting approach is the reason that we can say that our clubs are superior to those "off the rack" clubs.
