We buy test components outright rather than accepting consignment, which is expensive and is the
reason we can put a stock shaft in your driver without losing anything by it.
A word on how this page differs from the wall of logos you will see elsewhere. Those
walls usually represent dealer agreements, and dealer agreements come with volume expectations. Ours do
not exist. What follows is simply an inventory of what is physically hanging in the studio for you to
hit.
Heads
Clubhead Lines on the Wall
Current season models in the categories listed, plus a deep archive of previous generation heads
that we keep because they are frequently the better value and occasionally the better club.
TaylorMade
Drivers, fairways, irons
Titleist
Drivers, irons, wedges
Callaway
Full category coverage
Ping
Irons, hybrids, putters
Mizuno
Forged irons, wedges
Srixon
Irons, fairways
Cobra
Drivers, hybrids
Cleveland
Wedges
PXG
Irons, drivers
Wilson
Irons, wedges
Sub 70
Direct-to-player irons
Miura
Forged, by order
Shafts
Over Three Hundred Test Shafts
Cut to length, fitted with adapters for the major head systems, and organised by weight rather than
by brand so that we can move sideways through a fitting without a sales pitch attached.
Wood shafts
Driver, Fairway and Hybrid
Fujikura
Mitsubishi
Graphite Design
Project X HZRDUS
Aldila
UST Mamiya
Accra
KBS TD
Autoflex
LA Golf
Weight coverage runs from about 40 grams through 90, in flexes from
senior through double stiff. We hold multiple weights within a single model family rather than one
token sample, because weight is the variable that moves first.
Iron shafts
Steel and Graphite
True Temper
KBS
Nippon
Project X
Steelfiber
Recoil
Modus
Dynamic Gold
Both constant weight and ascending weight sets, in soft stepped and
hard stepped variants where the maker offers them. Graphite iron shafts are stocked properly rather
than treated as a curiosity, because they are the right answer more often than tradition admits.
The humidity problem
Grip Choice Is a Local Question
Between May and October the air here does something to a smooth rubber grip that has to be felt to
be believed. Players who came from drier states routinely arrive with a grip model that worked
perfectly at home and turns slick by the fourth hole in July.
We push corded and hybrid textures harder than a fitter in Arizona would, and we ask what time of
day you usually play, because a seven in the morning tee time and a two in the afternoon tee time are
effectively different climates.
It is a nine dollar component that can undo a two thousand dollar set of irons, so we spend real
time on it.
Something Missing From the Wall?
If there is a specific head or shaft you want to try and we do not hold it, tell us at booking.
We can usually bring in a test sample within a week or two, and we will let you know honestly if we
cannot.
