"We are passionate about lowering your scores and enhancing your golfing experience through better fitted golf clubs. It would be our honor to be your clubmaker"

The Cook Family

"My son’s clubs finally arrived on Friday and he got to play his first round with them this weekend.  Keep in mind that he hasn’t played a round of golf in a little over month.  He played 9 holes on Sunday and shot a 1 under par 35, what a difference the clubs made.  Most notable was the driver and the adjustment made to his putter.  He hit 6 of 7 fairways and was hitting the ball at least 10 yards further than normal.  The one fairway he did miss was by one yard.  He had birdie attempts on 6 of the 9 holes he played and if not for a couple flubbed chip shots could’ve shot 4 under par.  He made 4 putts in the 15 – 20’ range.  I guess with all the birdie attempts he had I’m not giving enough credit to the adjustment made to his irons and the greens hit in regulation.  I can honestly say that after that first round he is very happy with the whole fitting process, the clubs you made for him, and the adjustments to his current equipment.  It was money well spent!  He only wishes we would’ve done this last spring before the golf season began.  Thanks for all your help and have a great fall/winter."

The average player is not playing better even with the advances in technology

"Technology has provided us with many advances in golf equipment.  Today's equipment is far more forgiving than equipment made 20 years ago, but the average player is not playing better," states Tom Cook, International Clubmaker of the Year. "The major reason for this is the average player is playing with equipment that is not fitted correctly to their needs.  The most common problems we see are clubs with too little loft; a driver that is too long; too many long irons; incorrect lie angles on the irons; putters that are too long; and shafting that is too stiff.   Once the clubs are setup correctly the individual scores better."
