The Component List We Actually Stock

Everything below is on the rack in Bay 7 and available to hit during a session. Anything not listed can be ordered, usually inside a week.

Why the List Is Shorter Than a Retailer's

A store carries breadth because breadth sells. A bench carries depth because depth fits. We would rather stock four shaft families across the whole weight and profile range than twenty families with two options each.

The practical effect during a session is that when we narrow to a profile, we can usually put the exact weight and flex in your hands within a minute instead of ordering it and asking you to trust the chart. Chart-based decisions are how most mis-fits happen.

Nothing here carries a manufacturer quota. Components come off the rack when they stop earning their spot in the bay, not when a rep asks for shelf space.

Drivers

Adjustable

Current adjustable-hosel drivers from the major lines, plus movable weight tracks where the model offers one.

Drivers

Bonded

Fixed-hosel heads for players who want the lightest possible hosel and no sleeve mass to work around.

Irons

Cast Game Improvement

Wider soles, stronger lofts, perimeter weighting. The category that most Houston bags actually need.

Irons

Forged Players

Thinner top lines and narrower soles, in single-piece and multi-material constructions.

Fairways

Low Profile

Shallower faces for players who hit fairway woods off the deck more often than off a tee.

Hybrids

Iron and Wood Shaped

Two distinct body shapes because the transition from long iron to hybrid is not a single decision.

Wedges

Ground and Blank

Factory grinds in the common bounce range, plus unground blanks for sole work done here.

Putters

Blade and Mallet

Across the toe-hang range, from strong face-balanced mallets to heavily toe-weighted blades.

Shafts

What Is on the Shaft Rack

Held uncut wherever possible so tip trimming is a decision we make against your numbers, not something that arrives pre-decided from a distributor.

Shaft stock by category
CategoryWeight rangeTypical use
Graphite, driver and fairway39 to 85 gFull weight sweep so speed and tempo both get a say
Graphite, iron55 to 105 gLighter builds, arthritic hands, and players cutting total bag mass
Steel, iron95 to 130 gThe default for most of our iron builds, in three flex families
Steel, wedge115 to 135 gHeavier than the set iron on purpose, for control on partial swings
Hybrid specific65 to 95 gProfiles that sit between the iron and fairway families
PutterSteel and stability-focusedIncluding double-bend and slant-neck options for aim correction
Grips and hardware

The Parts Nobody Photographs

Grip size is measured, not guessed. We take a glove-hand measurement, then build to it with tape wraps in quarter-increments and record the number of wraps on the sheet so a regrip three years from now reproduces the same feel.

Weighting hardware matters just as much. Tip weights, hosel shims and back-weights in one-gram steps let us land a swingweight target exactly instead of settling for whatever the assembly happened to produce.

Round

Standard, midsize and jumbo, in tacky and firm compounds.

Ribbed

For players who want a repeatable hand position without thinking about it.

Corded

Half and full cord, which matters more here than it does in a dry climate.

Putter

Pistol through oversize, with counterweights available in the butt.
