I really like Golfsmith and I know about Golfworks/Maltby. But are there any other QUALITY component companies that you really like??

I know there are quite a few on the internet, but I'm cautious if I've never talked to anyone that has used the equipment.

Hey right now I am playing a snake eyes hybrid (I got it through golfsmith). It is probably the leading golf component company and I recommend all of their clubs. I built my iron set by myself (which is really fun) and you get to pick the shaft, clubhead, and the grip. But if you don't feel comfortable with that, you can always buy them prebuilt.

Snake eyes is a quality golf component brand and they are much better than the golfworks or Maltby. Just go to the golfsmith website and go to the clubmaking section and under the clubheads, you will find snake eyes club heads.

Thanks, but I said I was aware of Golfsmith and Golfworks. Are there any other alternative quality golf component companies that anyone else has used?

I realize that Snake Eyes is good equipment, I just didn't know if there was more variety out there?

The Dynacraft line (now part of Hireko) has always had a good reputation, although I can't say I've used them. I've always been leary of not being able to hold the clubhead in my hand and examine it prior to purchase.

I understand the guy that was running Dynacraft prior to the buyout is now in charge of club design for all or Hireko's lines. It will be interesting to see if they can mount a challenge to Golfsmith when it comes to quality components.

I know Hireko OEM's a lot of the clubheads used by "clone" club makers, so it will be interesting to see if they can continue to do that and also be a "quality" component company.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
