CUSTOM FITTED CLUBS
|
Intro TestimonialClub Fitting and Custom Club Building I decided to email Harry and ask him about the entire club making process, specifically how it was done, and how much it would cost. His knowledge on the subject is “Profound” and he was able to debunk all myths I had regarding custom clubs, as well as club fitting. I drove up to Wingham the first weekend in January. When I arrived, I noticed immediately that their shop is nothing short of a tour van. After the usual formalities, Harry sensing I was still a skeptic began to explain some of their sophisticated technology for me to witness first hand. After a few visual demonstrations about shaft alignment and flex change within the same shaft, I began to understand the advanced technology being deployed. The most convincing was the Laser FLO display where he showed me how a shaft traditionally aligned acts at impact (resulting in less distance and reduced accuracy), as well as the statistical study he designed and authored on this subject. They have even compiled a 120 page portfolio (intellectual assets) on innovations they’re invented over their personal journey to improve. At this point I was sold on their unique club fitting and build capabilities.
The following work was performed for me by Harry
at myGolfDNA: Harry finished the clubs in good time but given my hectic schedule I was not able to pick them up until now. This past weekend I drove back up to Wingham to pick the clubs up and visit Harry and his son Duane. I noticed immediately that my newly built NAK’s were in immaculate condition. I had heard stories of other club builders scratching clubs and leaving grip glue and epoxy residue on the shaft but the heads, shafts and grips were flawless. Harry began to explain all that he had done and some of the intricacies of the club making process. Despite the butter soft NX-1’s, he was able to fit the clubs to my exact requirements. He then revealed his Build Sheet as to the actual specifications of each assembled club (length, swingweight, frequency cpm, total weight, loft and lie, etc.) and the minimal variance across the entire matched set. While building my set he has documented over 300 measurements in total (covering all phases of the dial-in and assembly process), so if a club is ever lost, stolen or broken it can be replicated to perfectly match my existing set. I was fortunate enough to meet his son Duane as well on this trip. Knowing he was an incredible golfer (+ handicap) I decided to ask him a few questions about some swing issues I noticed on my recent trip to Arizona. After only 6 swings, he was able to recognize a total of 6 issues (pertaining to my fundamentals and the swing itself), which he felt was holding me back from reaching a new plateau, regarding my goal to reduce stroke average to a single digit level. He described the changes and the resulting consistency that would result in terms that were easy to comprehend and I expect simple to change.
When
I left their shop, not only did I have my new NAK’s and rebuilt Vokey’s in hand,
but they also gave me the following reference documents: Harry’s work was well worth the long drive from London. I would highly recommend him to any man, woman or child. Send him an email and he will gladly help you out with your club fitting dilemmas. I already have him working on a few other things for my bag. Throughout this process, Harry has become my “Club Builder of Choice”. Take my word for it, you will not be disappointed on what Golf DNA delivers. I do not have a single doubt in my mind that Harry is simply the “Best” anywhere (Canada and abroad). This man is a “Genius” when it comes to club fitting, custom club building, disciplined problem solving (strategies on “How to Improve”) and his workmanship is simply “Amazing.” I’m now outfitted with custom clubs, plus the knowledge and confidence to reduce my stroke average.
