This is in answer to those who write me asking if they can build golf clubs.
Good morning golfers good morning Club makers and good morning Club Fitters today we’re going to talk about if you can build your own golf clubs at home this is one of the questions I get fairly often at mcnicks golf and also as agcp founder uh the short answer is yes you
Can building golf clubs is not particularly difficult but building quality golf clubs requires a good bit of experience and a good bit of knowledge there is a difference between what you build at home and what our custom Club makers and the agcp build in their shops uh part of it
Is with the equipment if you have the proper equipment to do the job right part of it is in measuring the components and making sure that they are matched properly to give you consistent swing weights or consistent moi uh this segment of our program is being brought to you by the
Agcp but there are many places on the internet where you can find golf club components if you Google golf club components you will come up with quite a few places uh wishon golf is one of the highest quality components that you can buy as is Alpha Golf and a few others
Wishon and Alpha are our sponsors and we’re mentioning them there are a number of places on the internet where you can buy inexpensive components but just like any other product price is usually an indicator of quality not always but usually some things are overpriced some are modestly
Priced but most of the more expensive components that you buy will probably be better wishon has graphite shafts for example though that are less expensive than most of the quality products on the market because Tom believes that most golf shafts are overpriced for your name brand uh suppliers and I’m not going to
Mention any names here because I don’t want to get sued uh as far as components wishon has iron heads hybrid heads Fairway heads and drivers that are excellent quality and perform as well or better than some of the better known names that you’re familiar with on TV also Alpha golf has the same
Type of products we have a new company uh that’s come on the line recently called ex Golf and the young man that started that is buying the directly from the same foundaries that many of the suppliers that you will encounter on the internet buy theirs but he doesn’t have
Any national advertising or brand name Consciousness he doesn’t promote his product with expensive ads on TV or magazines or anything like that he’s just a local kid that wants to do things right and he has an excellent iron called executive iron and he has a great
Set of wedges is that you can get all or modestly pric and you can find him at ex golf.net as far as building clubs U if you have epoxy if you have something to sand the hles with if you have a way to prep the tips on the shafts steel shafts
Are going to require heavy duty sandpaper and a belt sander to get the tip prepped properly and you have to sand the inside of the hosle of the heads to make sure that you’ve got one-on-one contact with the epoxy to hold them in place without coming off
Grips are easy to install almost anyone that can buy grip tape and grips they’re very simple uh you need a way of cutting uh you might want to use a hacka if you’re using graphite shafts you put a piece of tape where you want to cut so
You don’t rough up the edge of the shaft and damage it uh the heads you can buy most places you can buy all the different Iron heads that you want hybrids Fairways look on the internet and uh you’ll find most of what you need on the internet there as I said
There are a number of places on the internet where you can get excellent products ex golf is only one of them I’ll leave you with this that you can do it there are how-to places on some of these websites sites where you buy the clubs to give you more detailed
Information but yes you can build your clubs at home but you’re probably going to suffer with inaccurate swing weights inaccurate Moi possibly with inaccurate lengths and it’s important how you put the tape under the grip how much each shaft weighs how much each head weighs and that’s for a more advanced class but
I did want to answer the question you can build golf clubs at home
