One of the first questions I am usually asked by prospective clients is: Do you sell fill in the blank Nationally
Advertised Name brand clubs? The answer is, no not any more. For 10 years I had a retail golf shop and for 10 years I bought the Nationally advertised brands and put them in my shop. For most of those 10 years I put those Nationally advertised brands in my fitting system along with the brands I now sell. My fitting system is designed to allow my clients to actually hit the heads and shafts while testing to determine which of them perform better. Using shaft and head connectors I can assemble any combination of head and shaft available and let my clients hit that combination. In all the years I tested the Nationally advertised brands with my brands, not once did the Nationally advertised brands test better than one of the brands listed below. Over the years I have narrowed my test heads to those brands and models that performed best for my clients in testing. Now that I no longer have a retail operation and my space is more limited I eliminated all but the very best performing brands.
Just as there are cars that are very expensive and very good but are not advertised in the National media and remain relatively unknown there are head designs you’ve never heard of because they are not advertised in the National media. Did you know that the fastest production model automobile is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport? The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the fastest car of 2013. It achieves a face-melting top speed of 268 miles per hour, and out paces its nearest competitor by over 50 miles per hour. It also out paces its competitors in terms of price. “A ‘princely sum’ sounds inadequate when talking about a $2.4 million automobile, but if you want to go faster than any other street-legal car ever produced that's what it will cost you,” Brauer said “The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the current King of Speed, and many Veyron owners have ‘king’ in their official title.”
I like to think of our boutique designer brands in the same way I think of these relatively unknown automobiles. When custom fitted they will outperform anything I’ve experienced in the marketplace of well know brands.
These brands are played on Professional Tours around the world by players who want the best or on lesser tours where the players have to pay for their equipment. Most of the highly advertised brands are played by players who are paid to play them and are not in many cases the same heads you can buy in a golf store. Most of the are Level 4 fitted clubs that are custom shaped to suit the golfer with the name and logo stamped on them.
We were the first authorized fitting center for Wishon Golf in the state of Georgia and have had a long standing relationship with Tom Wishon. We handle the complete Wishon line up of products, we are also an authorized custom fitting center for the following companies:
Tom Wishon is recognized in the industry not only as one of the premier designers with well over 100 design firsts to his credit, but Tom is also a leader in club fitting and has written a number of best selling book about club fitting. Tom's best selling book “The Search for the Perfect Golf Club” is one of the bibles for golfers to read for a complete understanding of the myths surrounding modern golf equipment and technology. It is a must read for any serious golfer. Tom's “Common Sense Clubfitting” is the number one book for clubfitters around the world and is a must read for anyone in my profession.
In addition to Wishon Golf, over the past 10 years we have tested and sold many, many brands. Eventually we narrowed our selection down to the heads and shafts that were our best preforming clubs for fitting customers based on our extensive fitting and testing processes. We retained only a limited number of brands that fit the needs of our customers. We have brands that are played on Professional Tours around the world as well as brands carried for their quality at lower price points and all are original designs by well know established club designers like Tom Wishon, Jim Yeh, Eric Yeh and others. Royal Collection is a premium priced brand played extensively on the Asian tours with iron offerings forged in Japan, Alpha and Infiniti are comparable to the Nationally advertised brands you see in Pro Shops and better golf stores around the world and advertised in golf magazines and on TV, and Kent Sports offers a high quality value priced line of clubs for discriminating golfers on a budget.
In addition to the highest quality heads we have available an array of the best shafts and our selections include, but are not limited to:
GRAPHITE SHAFTS:
- ACCRA
- Aerotech
- Aldila
- Enzo
- Fujikura
- Matrix
- OBAN
- UST
STEEL SHAFTS
- FST
- KBS
- Rifle
- Project X
- True Temper
GRIP SELECTIONS:
- Pure Grips
- Golf Pride Grips
- Winn Grips
- Lampkin Grips
- *almost any other grip you want.
We list our top sellers only in our shopping cart due to space limitations now that I am retired with in a smaller shop and a smaller storage area. If there is a brand (head, shaft, grip) you want but do not see we can special order it for you but it will possibly add a few days to the delivery date.
