need some info

[Strider]

hello all, i am new to the forum here but have been reading it for quite a while. i recently started a small golf club build/repair biz out of the house and was wonderin if you guys could hook me up with some info on differ vendors that you have had good experiences with (prices and service). any help would be great.

thanks!!

I would strongly suggest visiting the forums @ www.freegolfinfo.com. Depending on your targeted market, some brands to consider are SMT, KZG, Bang, Wishon, Snake Eyes, Maltby, Hireko, and countless others. Hireko would probably be your best bet, as they make pretty good clones of various clubs, and the price point is low, so unless you are targeting better players, that would be my suggestion. But, hey, i'm 16, so my advice is worth just about what you paid for it

it doesn't matter to me if you are 16, i appreciate all advice. thanks alot!

I've used Golfsmith in the past. They really have outstanding customer service.

They called the other day to say that my magazine/catalogue had the wrong address on it and they needed to update my info. Most places would just say "screw him" and never send it.

That's insane.

And, all their operators sound pretty hot....that helps, right?

What sort of shop stuff are you planning on doing?

yeah, i've done a little business with golfsmith and I like them also, but i have to say that their prices tend to be a little higher than some of the other vendors i've been using.

as far as what i am doin, its all pretty basic- grips, reshafts, build component clubs, stuff like that. i can do some bending but I don't have a machine right now.

btw, hot operators help a ton...lol

There's another place that I can't seem to put my finger on, but I remember them having outstanding prices. Can't say much for their customer service as I've never dealt with them.

Golfworks has ok stuff....

If I think of it, i'll definitely let you know.

cool, definately let me know.

 

[nsherman2006]

lowpro golf, diamond tour golf, myostrich golf, dynacraft, are some other places to check out

 

[Rockford35]

Dynacraft....yes, that's a decent one. They don't make any forged irons tho, which sorta sucks...

Wishon Golf is another to try. They have alot of 3rd party shafts and things available.

I wish I could think of that one tho.....dammit....
