Benefits of component golf clubs

Take control of your game. Components give you the advantage of constructing a club that works with your individual swing. Mixing and matching component parts creates the total compliment of clubs to support your game. By selecting lofts and club angles that work with you, the technology gains the added distance on the golf course. Need spin? No spin? Lower center of gravity or higher? More length from heel to toe, or less surface area? Heavier club? Lighter club? Drivers? Fairway Woods? Irons? At KGS-you can have it anyway you like it.

Our suppliers have created a line of drivers, fairway woods, irons and even shafts, that are forgiving, allowing for a solid hit, even with a flawed swing. They allow the average player the ability to play like a pro.

Our Quality Suppliers include SMT Golf, Raven Golf, Enzo, Geek Golf and Pure Golf Grips.

Let's not forget the importance of assembly. Custom clubs are not only built to fit you, they are also assembled in such a way to give you the best golf your game will allow.

Your club builder will assemble your components to maximize each component being used. Your club builder will frequency match your entire set, Flo your graphite shafted clubs and spine align your steel shafted club. Your club builder will ensure the weights match, the grips fit and that you are happy.

These are all things that you can not get off the rack at any one golf store. Be sure to see a custom club builder to improve your golf experience!

 

Why Custom Fitting?

From Golf Digest, Nov'09, p.28
 

ASK TIGER 

Q.	What is the best tip you would give to a beginner? (Anne Patterson, Boulder, CO)
A.	Find clubs that fit you. It will save you a ton of aggravation from the start. Make sure they aren't too short, long or heavy. Otherwise, you'll adapt your swing to the equipment in a way that might not be technically sound. It's easy to get fit, and it really does matter.

We have been saying this for years and now the best player in the world Validates our recommendations!

 

What is Spine Alignment?

Spine Alignment

 

Shaft spines have been defined in a number of ways...they have been called irregularities; high or low spots; out of round places...the list goes on and on. A good working definition of a spine would concern the position of the shaft in a club that allows the shaft to bend naturally as it was designed to do.

 

Shafts installed with their spines in the neutral position (parallel to the target) permit a club to perform consistently though the set; this is evidenced by player feedback!

 

A best-fit shaft for a player will load and unload in a straight line in relation to the intended target. Spine Aligning helps to ensure that this will occur; shafts that are not spine aligned tend to bend either more toe-up or toe-down than will provide the best shaft plane for the golfer. Independent tests conducted by Golf Science Consultants have shown that in a small population of golfers tested, they have experienced a 20-60% improvement in their percentages of on-centre hits when using clubs that have properly fitted shafts that have been spine aligned.

 

Do to the time involved, (added cost to manufacture), most club manufacturers do not “spine align” the shafts that are produced for the general public. Shafts are mass produced, labeled or painted and graphics added. When assembled they are installed so the graphics “Look Good”.  Your spine aligned set will likely have the graphics in different positions, depending on the location of the spine!

 

What is True Length Technology™?

Can you imagine owning a set of clubs, where every club's length
places the grip perfectly in your hands, in the same playing position every time?

"My long irons are too long and my short irons are too short"
will be a thing of the past!

The True Length Technology™ secret is in the individual length progression between each club. Simply put - 1/2 inch length progression verses 1 degree of lie angle is mathematically incorrect.

True Length Technology™ corrects this condition

Traditional methods of golf club building has each club one half of an inch shorter than the next club as you progress through the set from 3 iron down to the wedges, regardless of the lie angle .

Here is an example of standard build lengths:

 

Men's & Women's Standard Lengths
Clubs	Men's/Women's
Graphite Driver	45"/44"
Steel Driver	44"/43"
3 wood	43"/42"
5 wood	42"/41"
7 wood	41"/40"
3 iron	39"/38"
4 iron	38.5"/37.5"
5 iron	38"/37"
6 iron	37.5"/36.5"
7 iron	37"/36"
8 iron	36.5"/35.5"
9 iron	36"/35"
PW	36"/35"
SW	36"/35"

 

Although this has been an accepted method for years, the golfer is forced to adjust setup / address position for each club in the bag.

 

True Length Technology™ on the other hand, will use a club length the best fits your address position and increases based on a mathematical calculation to give you the same address position regardless of which club that you have in your hands. 

 

One common hand position, relative to a perfectly math modeled length and lie will result in:

• A very repeatable athletic address position
• A very repeatable swing pattern
• More on center hits
• Less fat shots
• Less thin shots
• Improved feel and playability
• Less physical stress on the body
• Final result - Improved scoring.
