Frequently
Asked Questions
How
much does a fitting session
cost?
Nothing. The cost of the
fitting session is included
in the price of the golf
clubs. I fit on an outside
driving range, and if you
don’t feel you hit my clubs
significantly better than the
clubs you’re currently
using, there’s no charge for
my time.
Does
the average player really need
to be fit?
The average player actually
benefits the most from being
fit. Because most players have
a limited amount of time they
can devote to golf, it’s a
big help for them to play with
the clubs that are easiest for
them to use.
Do
you fit seniors and ladies?
All the time. Players with
slower swing speeds generally
play much better with very
lightweight shafts and very
low center of gravity
clubheads. These players often
achieve better results through
replacing most of their irons
with hybrids and high-lofted
fairway metals. That’s
because they tend to strike the
ball with a weak sweeping
motion, as opposed to a strong
descending blow.
How
do custom fit golf clubs help
you score lower?
When you have golf clubs that
are easier for you to use,
golf becomes less of a
struggle. When you don’t
have to struggle with your
equipment, you can devote more
attention to the critical
areas of shot selection, setup
position, and swing focus.
That change in attention can
lead to significantly lower
scores
How
long does a fitting session
take?
The initial session normally
takes a little over an hour. A
putter fit takes about ½
hour.
How
much do your clubs cost?
Because I have very low
overhead, my prices are very
reasonable. I offer a wide
variety of quality clubheads,
shafts and grips. The price of
the completed club is
dependant on the combination
of components the customer
selects.
For the average golfer, there
is really no need to spend
over $300.00 for a full set of
quality custom built irons. A
set that would last them for a
lifetime.
I also don’t believe the
average golfer needs to spend
over $70.00 for a hybrid,
$90.00 for a fairway metal, or
$150.00 for a quality titanium
driver.
Because I also work with
professionals and low handicap
amateurs, I also build golf
clubs that are far more
expensive. These clubs,
however, would be of no
benefit to the average player.
How
long does it take for you to
build a set of golf clubs?
The clubs are generally
delivered within a week after
the order is placed.
What
type of warranty do your golf
clubs have?
My golf clubs have a lifetime
warranty against breakage
under normal use. The grips,
of course, on all golf clubs
should be periodically
replaced.
How
often do I need to replace my
grips?
It depends on how often you
play, your grip pressure, and
the type of grips you have. As
a general rule, avid golfers
should consider replacing
their grips about once a year.
Does
it cost more to have grips
custom sized to fit my hands?
No. I’ll measure your hand
and build your grips to a
comfortable size for no extra
charge.
What’s
the difference between the
golf clubs you sell and
name-brand clubs?
From a playability standpoint
there’s no difference at
all. Nowadays the brand-name
is irrelevant. The magic lies
in the fit. Tom Wishon, who
designed most of the
components I use, has custom
fit and hand built golf clubs
that have been used to win on
the PGA Tour, Champions Tour,
and in Ryder Cup competition.
His clubs are as good as you
can buy,
Do
you sell golf clubs through
the mail?
Yes. If you CONTACT ME, I’ll
quote the price. If you
don’t know your
specifications, I can help.
There is no charge for
shipping or handling.
How
do you fit a putter?
Through adjusting the shaft
length, lie angle and loft, I
can create a putter with
specifications that compliment
your setup position and
stroke. Then, through
adjusting the grip size, I can
provide a putter that feels
good in your hands.
Can
I have my current clubs custom
fit for me?
It’s possible, but I can’t
guarantee it because I’m
limited to how much I can
alter the specification of
your clubheads. I’d have to
measure your set and take you
through a fitting session.
