Custom Club Assembly

Conquest Custom Golf strongly suggests that you utilize my "Fitting Form" link. I carry
what I consider to be the best components in the industry.

Frequency & MOI Matched your Clubs < (click for MOI info)

I build frequency and MOI matched irons because I believe this results in the best
feeling irons you can possibly have built. If my name and my business are
associated with a set of clubs, I want them right. This is by far the best method
in my opinion. I will, of course, do as you wish.
I prefer to assembled in "about" 3/8" increments for the best MOI matching
results, which also makes the shorter irons easier to hit. (See True Length
Technology). I can build with 1/2" increments if you insist, but the clubs will
result in a slightly heavier feel due to the MOI matching process. I recommend
"about" 3/8" average difference.
The longest iron shaft (e.g.- 5 iron shaft) will be tip trimmed to the
manufacturer's specs unless we determine another tipping amount is best for
you. I then cut to final playing length, and take it's butt frequency with the head
dry fitted and proceed to frequency match the rest of the set to a 3, 4, or 5 cpm
slope. It is usually about 3 cpm's, this is determined by my PCS Equalizer.
I then MOI match them, any small gram weight additions required for an MOI
match will only change their frequency by a cpm or so, usually one cpm, so I
perform any additional tip trim, as necessary. My initial "first build" is always
about 1" longer than my target length to give me the lattitude for adjustments.
Grips are weight sorted and built up if needed.

Range Fittings

$100 per fitting, whether it be woods or irons, payable in advance, at the time of
the fitting, cash or credit card, no checks. Credit cards are preferred for
equipment purchases. I can obtain the required data to narrow down your
optimally fitted clubs for you and make a recommendation in about 2.5 to 3 hrs,
average. Wood fittings and iron fittings be performed separately as in each fitting
you will execute many swings. I utilize my state of the art Zelocity Pure Launc h
Launch M onitor and Swing Speed Radar Tempo Timer unit. A purchase is NOT
required.
Click here so see what valuable information the Zelocity Launch Monitor provides
us for the best performing clubs. Anyone can gather data, it's how it's interpreted
that counts.
Dynamic Fittings are performed at the AllGolf Practice Facility on the northeast
side of Cincinnati, Ohio, by appointment. Please call or email me to schedule an
appointment.
To determine the best wood length for you in a dynamic fitting, I use 5 test
drivers that are each progressively 1/2 inch longer, with impact tape on the face
to look for the most consistent center of face impact marks.
To determine the optimal iron length for you in a dynamic fitting, I utilize "True
Length Technology" length fitting iron sets. Generally about 3/8" length
deviations with optimal lie adjustments for the respective length.
I then perform a weight/MOI test to determine what feels best to you. That MOI
is used for the MOI matching. Total club weight is taken into consideration.
I analyze your ball flight and trajectory visually and with the Zelocity. I then can
look at potential loft and shaft scenarios with my trajectory software.
I analyze your backswing to downswing transition, tempo, and wrist-cock release
via video tape analysis.

I will be more than happy to assemble most any head(s), shaft(s), or grip(s)
combination that I do not list in this site. Simply specify those components in an
email or call me and I will return a quote to you letting you know the total cost and
availability. You are quite welcome to send me the components or I will procure them
for you, shipping cost to me are of course included in the final cost.

Any special requests such as a special length, grips build ups, etc, should be
addressed in advance. If I have any concerns about your order, I will email or call you
before I begin.

Your clubs are assembled by me personally, not a high school kid with "this month's"
after school job. I pride myself in being on top of most of all the state of the art
assembly techniques, I am certified, accredited, and a member of three major
clubmaking organizations, something that I invested many hours of my time and
dollars into, and I am very proud of it. I am not a mass production "Cut & Glue" guy
by any stretch of the imagination.

I also recommend the very inexpensive ProSoft Vibration Dampening Inserts ($2.50
per club) installed in your clubs should you suffer from arthritis, "tennis elbow", or just
want a softer, vibration dampened feel. Click here or see the "Services" link above.

Club Fitting and Assembly Services for all Clubs

A dynamic fitting, on the range is by far, the best method, for what it's worth.
For online static fittings, I make recommendations on club length, head design,
loft, shaft, flex, and grip size, based on the information derived from my online
"Fitting Form". The customers on my testimonial page are all "online" customers.
Iron shafts are tip frequency matched prior to assembly to ensure the lower third
of each shaft is identical in terms of frequency (shaft flex). I only know of a few
club builders worldwide that have the knowledge and equipment and take the
time to do this.
I then measure each shaft at the 15", 25", and 35" point from the tip utilizing a
454 gram tip weight and the entire shaft set is sorted by frequency from each of
the 3 locations on the shaft, not just the butt frequency "like the old days"! With
this method, the tip sections start off the same and the optimal shaft, from tip to
butt, is paired with the optimal iron head.
All shafts are spine/aligned initially and that spine, if any, is placed at the 12
o'clock position to assist in the prevention of toe droop. I then find FLO (Flat Line
Oscillation). I place the Flat Line Oscillation (FLO) plane that is closely associated
with the Neutral Bend Plane (NBP) in the 3-9 o'clock plane. This is accomplished
by attaching a laser to the shaft and twanging it horizontally, adjusting the dry
fitted head until a flat oscillation laser line is obtained. FLO takes precedence
over the spining, if required. This is to assist in the most consistent ball contact
on the club face. If you prefer a different shaft orientation, please let me know in
advance.
