I have decided to go with straight custom built clubs to save some money. i am around a 6-7 handi cap, and HAVE to have forged blades...I dont know anything about the new companies out there who manufacture custom clubs. I WANT some pro-line clubs, but just cannot afford the 900 bux for em.

Whats your reccomendations?

Derek,

If you want some high-end, Japanese forged component heads I suggest you try Geotech. They make some incredible irons and can be found here:

You should also take a look at KZG. They make excellent blade heads and are also forged in Japan. There is a fitter on this site, Everado, that has access to these heads. Perhaps he can build you a set.

FWIW, I've hit the KZG Tour Evolution, a player's cavity and they felt fantastic.

Hope this helps.

You won't be saving too much money between the shafts, the heads, the grips, and the materials you'll need to put them together or the labor

Hey Derek,

I took the plunge on a set of Geotech's but not the blades. They are the forged 670 player's cavity, 4-PW. They look a lot like the TM RAC 2005 Cavity Backs and are made of a soft steel. I got them with NS Pro 1050 stiff shafts and Iomic X Grips in white. I was also able to order them at a specific weight: D4. The total price was $790. Personally, I think they're a steal as they are being custom built and the grips alone are normally $150. They should be here in a few weeks and for someone who's never had new irons, well, I'm a kid in a candy store. Will post pics as soon as they come in.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
