With LA Golf It’s Time To Be More Athletic And Less Mechanical

With the tour players hitting the ball further and further each year, it is clear there is now the right combination between athleticism and equipment. 

A new custom shaft is hitting our workshop. LA Golf, which many may be familiar with after joining forces with SIK putters. 

Backed by the likes of Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Michelle Wie, LA Golf have a simple message: The Status Quo, conventional wisdom has always said to swing smooth and to hit it straight, but we say, Swing Harder.

“What I really like about the LA Golf shaft is that when I want to hit one hard, I hit it more consistently in the middle of the face. That is really the biggest reason I changed.”

~ Dustin Johnson

Dustin’s new signature series with LA Golf has propelled him up the rankings in distance and accuracy.

The woods are developed on a constant tapered mandrel, producing a high balance point with a smooth feel. The series is wrapped with a sleek translucent blue coating and is offered in three different weights, allowing for a broad base of players to tap into the feel and performance of DJ’s signature shaft.

“My goal is to create the most repeatable swing possible, and LA Golf makes most consistent shaft I have ever tried.”

~ Bryson DeChambeau

The series features Bryson’s uniquely designed woods and single length irons. Both are produced on LA Golf’s patented 16-sided HD tooling, which has been proven to enhance feel, performance, and durability.

The Series wood shaft focuses on stability and accuracy, resulting in a low launching, low spinning, fairway finder. The new design features more feel in the hands and increased workability for a wide variety of swing types.

Outside of Dustin and Bryson’s signature designs there is also 5 more series shafts including: 

L, A, G, P, P-SOHO.

All shafts differ for clubs from woods through to the putter and suit players based on swing swing as well as other factors. 

LA Golf shafts are built around stability and consistency allowing the players to be more athletic and hit the ball harder! The best way to find a shaft to match your game, whether it be irons, driver or putter is to speak with our team.

An Open Win For The Fujikura Ventus TR Shaft

Fujikura Ventus TR shaft

We know you watched it, who didn’t? The 150th Open was wrapped up in style by Cameron Smith.

A lot of the talk was on his impressive putting stats, but in this blog we are going to focus on the new shaft in his new driver.

Ventus TR

Cam Smith, was one of the Titleist players using the highly anticipated TSR drivers, which we will get to take a closer look at later in the season. However, hitting 60% of fairways with impressive distance with an average of 300 yards it was important he could trust his equipment to put him in contention. 

He is now using the latest edition to Fujikura VENTUS shaft range with the TR Blue in 6-X flex. So what does this shaft offer?

Born from the continuous quest for improvement and backed by enso®–driven analytics and Tour feedback, VENTUS TR builds upon one of the most trusted and best-selling wood shafts in Fujikura history. TR is a new mid launch, low spin profile in the VENTUS line.

With VeloCore Technology providing an incredibly stable platform for performance, the additional integration of a unique Spread Tow carbon fabric works in unison to create advanced overall stability without compromising player feel.

Ongoing enso® analytics show that the shaft undergoes tremendous stress in the mid/handle section during the transition and downswing.  By incorporating an incredibly strong and ultra-lightweight Spread Tow carbon fabric, VENTUS TR is able to increase torsional stiffness in this specific section, helping to even further reduce twist and ovalization during the swing.

So Fujikura feel that this shaft is far more stable offering more consistency and in this case it has proved itself to be a Champion shaft.

Stamping The Way Forward To Better Wedge Play

Having great wedges that are custom fit to your needs in terms of loft, length, shaft, bounce, grind and grip is one thing. Being able to personalize your wedges to make them bespoke and stand out in the bag is certainly another.

Our Workshop is always looking for ways to give that extra little colour and spice to your new clubs.

The team have invested in a new stamping and paint set which means that we are able to put 4 different styles of stamping onto a new wedge, or even add to your current wedges. It will take 24 hours from design to completion and our workshop team will be on hand to guide you through the design process.

This funky new service costs £19.99 per wedge or £50 for 3 wedges, can be ordered online or in store. 

The 4 main styles that we are offering are

Straight – this can be any word in a straight line of the back of the head

Dancing – this means the letter move around at slight angles to give the illusion the words are dancing across your wedge

Two Lines – this allows to two lines of straight text, ideal for children’s names for example

Snowdrop – 2 letters for example initials, 10 times random all over the back of the wedge.
