Clubmaking Forum

discuss, ask and learn about golf and clubmaking

I love helping people "play better golf," whether through golf lessons, custom club fitting and set building, or by repairing their clubs. I have been trained by Jim Yachinich at three different schools at Golfworks. I am certified on the Mitchell Signature Angle and Putter Angle machines. I am also Titleist Performance Institute Certified.

Muskie, first, with you CHS, you are definitely in the S flex range, however, if your tempo is slow to moderate, you can swing a solid R flex and get the best of both feel and good dispersion. If your...

info on “Crankshaft” steel shaft that was in Nicklaus clubs in their early years?

May I suggest that you consider the ISO-T 11.5 degree head. It is a great head, is being discontinued and is at a great price. Since this head has a loft tolerance of +/- 1 degree, they may find one...

Right now it's not an issue and it will probably never be an issue. It was in an M890 build when I needed to change out the screw weight for the lightest possible one. It's all set with the right swingweight,...
