Club Heads

Your computer is probably a clone of an IBM or Dell or Macintosh PC, so too our club heads are clones of the best of the highly advertised, mass produced, brand name clubs. The big difference is that our clubs are individually custom assembled to suit your person and to suit your game.

The big club companies blatantly copy ideas from each other so we too, unashamedly, incorporate the latest technological advances and design developments in the production of our club heads which, by force of design, must bear similarities to branded clubs. Made with the same steels as the major brands, in the same foundries, on the same machines, using the same materials, our club-heads are produced to the same exacting production standards. All club heads have a single purpose; to strike a golf ball in the most effective manner. Our club heads meet that requirement and are at least equal to the best and even (according to our customers) sometimes better.

Irons

There are two methods of manufacture; investment casting - where molten metal is poured into a cast and then trimmed and polished, and forging - where a billet of white hot metal is hammered into shape ... though today, to contain cost, forged irons are invariably roughly cast to shape before being subject to the forging process. A variety of medium strength grades of stainless steel are used in the production of ironheads. Some are softer and mark more easily, others have a harder surface and, even after years of use, show little wear. In both cases the ball comes off the club face equally well. Some steels are best suited for casting (17-4, 304 and 431) while more malleable carbon steels (8620 and 8630) are chosen for forging. Stainless steels will rust - some more easily than others. Stainless is a term of comparison with other ferrous (iron) based steel alloys. The term is "Stain-Less" not "Stain-Never". .

Woods

Though there are still a few wooden woods around and experienced golfers can drive nearly as far with them, metal woods, being hollow, permit the club designer to vary the center of gravity (CG) location and to change the weight distribution within the club head to provide greater forgiveness for off centre hits and, with trampoline styled faces, greater distance too. Drivers can be designed with a deliberate draw bias or fade bias to suit individual requirements (i.e. Phil Mickleson playing with two drivers in his bag to win the US Masters).

Most drivers are made from one or more titanium alloys and most fairway woods from stainless steel. Because the heads are hollow, construction is more complicated. Anything from two to four or more separate pieces are welded together to create the finished product. The introduction of high strength low weight graphite further complicates the process.

Hybrids

As the word suggests hybrids are a cross between a fairway wood and a long iron, combining both investment casting and hollow shell construction to produce a club head with similarities to both. Designed mainly for distance control manufacturers have taken the center of gravity and moved it back and to the bottom of the club, which helps to launch the ball into the air with a higher spin rate so that the ball stops faster and with more accuracy. Shafts are shorter and club face stiffer like their iron counterparts.

Guarantee

We know our club heads are of the finest quality but, on occasions, even the best can fail and we undertake to repair or replace any defective golf head or one that is damaged in the normal use of play for a period of twelve months.
