"Real improvement comes in only 
one of two ways. Lessons or by acquiring a custom-fit set of golf clubs that employ changes in design to overcome poor swing movements and accentuate the proper motions the golfer makes in the swing."
"Custom-made clubs are realistically intended to help golfers make the most out of their swing and avoid losing anything from what ability they have, rather than to completely erase a swing error."

I design custom clubs with one thing in mind, that you enjoy playing more with your new club(s) than with your old clubs.
How do I get started?
Good question, first if you have any questions, stop by or give me a call and I will talk with you about the procedure or answer any questions you may have. After that we schedule an appointment for the initial fitting.
How much is the fitting and what does it cover?
The fitting is $45 and we generate a demo club (irons only) from this session that you get to take out and play or practice with so you can be sure that you are getting what you want from the club.The fitting covers the basics such as length, swing weight, grip size, swing speed, type of shaft etc. I also spend some time helping you to clarify what it is that you want to accomplish with the new club(s). Do you want to hit it higher, lower, more consistently? I am also looking at your swing and determining what I need to provide with the new clubs as far as off-setting your misses or swing patterns that may have developed from poorly fitted clubs. Together we will determine the best set-up for you.
How much is a set of new irons?
A basic set of irons, 3 thru PW (8 irons) goes for $464.00. The price goes up for more expensive shafts (graphite) or more expensive heads (forged). If you don’t want or need a full set, it breaks down to $58 per club. You can get any combo of clubs you need. Gap wedge thru 6i, SW, GW, PW thru 5, etc, whatever fits your game and needs. I will help you to determine this. This also includes any adjustments needed after the purchase of the club(s).
Woods and hybrids are priced according to cost of heads and shafts and I would be happy to give you an estimate.
Is your work guaranteed?
Absolutely! I guarantee your satisfaction with the club(s) or your money back. I will also go out of my way to make any adjustments you may want to your clubs anytime after the purchase at no extra charge to you. I want you to enjoy your new clubs and play them for as many years as you want to.
Whose clubheads and shafts do you use?
I use all the major shaft manufacturers, True Temper, Rifle, FST, Grafalloy, Aldila, just to name a few. I chose the shaft for your needs and budget. Clubheads, I use no clones and no knock-offs. Their tolerances and material are suspect and I cannot guarantee their quality or if the company will stand by their product. I use component companies that are as good as any OEM (original equipment manufacturer – i.e. Taylor Made, Callaway, Ping, etc.) Golfworks, BangGolf, SMT, GolfSmith, Wishon and others that I have used and know just how good they are.
So call today and talk with me or set up an appointment. Remember,
“every golfer needs a CLUB GUY!”
