| Custom golf clubs are anything from a
| |
| | most important part of the club, are made
|
| single club to a full set of woods, irons
| |
| | by a very few companies, but normally
|
| and putter which have been custom
| |
| | China, Bangladesh, Japan, etc. None of
|
| specified and assembled just for you.
| |
| | the big names make their own shafts, the
|
| They may work for somebody else and other
| |
| | majority fitting True Temper shafts,
|
| people will probably love your custom
| |
| | sometimes branded with their own name but
|
| built golf clubs, but they are yours.To
| |
| | never manufactured by them.Now when you
|
| make an analogy that most of you will be
| |
| | pick up the magazines or discount shop
|
| familiar with we will compare buying a
| |
| | offers are you looking for what suits you
|
| new set of golf clubs to buying a new
| |
| | best or, more likely, the same clubs you
|
| suit or dress, there are three ways you
| |
| | thought Tiger or Vijay or Ernie or Annika
|
| can go about this;Option 1 - You go to a
| |
| | were winning with last weekend?This is a
|
| clothes shop and browse around until you
| |
| | good time to dispel a widely held belief,
|
| see something fashionable and then buy it
| |
| | the only similarity between the clubs you
|
| and hope it fits you OK and is
| |
| | can buy and the clubs winning major pro
|
| comfortable. That is the normal way most
| |
| | tournaments is the branding. These pro
|
| people buy their golf clubs.Option 2 -
| |
| | golfers are paid anything up to seven
|
| You can go to the same shops and try a
| |
| | figure sums of money to use these brands,
|
| few different designs, maybe even mix and
| |
| | they and their coaches specify every
|
| match top and bottom of the outfit, and
| |
| | head, shaft and grip that makes up that
|
| eventually you will get something that
| |
| | set and somebody has to pay for that. So
|
| fits OK but you may need to have altered,
| |
| | when you buy your set of Z43 Super
|
| within the leeway the existing clothing
| |
| | Pingaway irons you are paying for the
|
| gives on sizes and lengths and quite a
| |
| | components, the plush headquarters and
|
| lot of people will get a reasonable fit.
| |
| | the massive advertising and endorsements
|
| This is very similar to custom fitting
| |
| | that made you notice them in the first
|
| your new golf clubs, you are still
| |
| | place.A good custom club builder will use
|
| limited to the small number of shafts and
| |
| | components made from at least as good raw
|
| flexes that that manufacturer provides
| |
| | materials as the big boys, often from the
|
| and most will only extend or reduce by 1
| |
| | same factories to produce the heads, they
|
| 2" and at the most 2 degrees loft and
| |
| | offer the same shafts and grips AND take
|
| lie. The shaft flexes will only be those
| |
| | the same sort of time to analyse your
|
| stamped on the side of the shaft and are
| |
| | game and physique as those top pros get,
|
| different for every shaft manufacturer,
| |
| | but because they don't pay for the names
|
| very rarely are these actually measured
| |
| | on their components, that set of clubs,
|
| and you better match one of the five or
| |
| | designed just for you, is an affordable
|
| six flexes available. For a lot of people
| |
| | possibility.Again a good clubmaker, and
|
| that just isn't enough, and this can
| |
| | there are bad ones as in any walk of
|
| still take many weeks.Option 3 - If you
| |
| | life, will be more concerned about the
|
| wanted something that would last a long
| |
| | results of your fitting than you spending
|
| time and fitted really well from day one
| |
| | money.There are many ways of fitting but
|
| you would go to a bespoke outfitters,
| |
| | during the fitting ask your clubmaker
|
| they would take all your measurements,
| |
| | what they think of your game, does it
|
| find out exactly what you wanted the item
| |
| | match with your and your friends
|
| for, how often it would be used, etc.
| |
| | impressions of your shot shape and
|
| This would cost a relative fortune but
| |
| | distance or are they just telling you
|
| gives great results every time. This is
| |
| | things to make you sepnd money. If it
|
| the same as custom club building, but the
| |
| | doesn't meet expectations can they
|
| good news is, unlike the clothing market
| |
| | justify their statements without
|
| this is normally less expensive, and
| |
| | resorting to technobabble?The best part
|
| rarely more expensive, than the first
| |
| | about about custom building should be
|
| option. So how does that work?Well,
| |
| | when you go back to your clubmaker and
|
| almost all golf club heads, with very few
| |
| | tell them "I've just shot my lowest ever
|
| exceptions - if any - are made in the far
| |
| | score" or "I've just won my first ever
|
| east, mainly China. We believe that all
| |
| | competition" or "I've just hit my best
|
| heads are made there but several of the
| |
| | ever shot" or, and my favourite, "That's
|
| big manufacturers just will not give a
| |
| | the most I've enjoyed a game of golf for
|
| straight answer, try them!Shafts, the
| |
| | years".
