Hi Bill,
Just thought I would send you a note about the clubs you built for me. I have to say that the club
fitting was very interesting and educational. Now that I have been using the clubs for 6 months
(some simulator) I have to admit they have improved my game. I'm a 16 handicap that now sees
improvement from time to time. I have twice shot even par, which has never happened before, on
courses that have a 131 slope 6404yds. I've also had a 79 on a similar course. Even though
those days were great I also had some issues with the 5" between my ears that didn't give such
good results. But now I don't blame the clubs just an old 64yr old body and mind. But that being
said the clubs have been great and the experience of have my clubs fitted and seeing a
difference a fitting can make is just outstanding.
Thanks
Roger French
(A very satisfied customer)
The following is an email from a satisfied customer where we performed an "online" fitting. Much
tougher than a "hands on" fitting, but definitely better than buying a "pre-made one size fit's all"
set of clubs.
Dear Bill,
It has been a while since my last communication with you. While in New York we were very busy
with our business affairs and many personal issues to be resolved. Then of course our visits to
our children and grandchildren. When I got to open your box it wasn't till the second week of my
arrival. I was very much surprised to the quality of the material and workmanship you gave to my
set. I congratulate you for your detailed and meticulous work.
Finding time the second week Nestor and I played. The first few holes was my period of
adjustment. I never played with a set that were very consistent with its weight and the ease of
swinging the club. At the end of my game my notation as follows; distance wise on my woods and
hybrid were the same as my old ones except my shots dispersion is + or - 10 to 12 yds which
placed me right near the center of the fairway. This to me is a great plus. My mid irons are longer
by 5-8 yds and tight. My short irons bites except on higher greens were runs are expected. I am
very happy and pleased with it. Thanks again. By the way I played four times while in Long Island
and my scores were 86-82-78-78. With new clubs these scores doesn't happened to me.
I am in Manila now and I never had the chance to play. I am busy mentoring the youth and citing
the importance of being educated to their line of interest. We give lectures to the value of
speaking the world language English, as a vehicle for communication. As Americans I think we
owe the World or we are obligated to partake this humble task with no remuneration at hand.
Take care and regards,
Ross
Hi Bill,
As promised after a bunch of balls and some course time, it was time to let you know how it’s
going with the new sticks.
Before I get into the gory details, some of my challenge is all the changes made this winter.
Worked hard with my coach at GolfTec to the get the swing ready. Have been working with the
Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) to get my body in better swing shape. And then of course you
know, had clubs built for me Smile
So with all these things going on and coming together at the same time, that’s a lot of game
improvement all at once, almost overload. Well let me start with just the clubs and all the voodoo
you may have put in them. They are just awesome from a couple of aspects.
1) Feel is just outstanding.
2) Every club feels and swings identical with ease and (here’s the voodoo) all setup the same.
3) Trajectory is as expected, the surprise is how well a lower trajectory (wind cheater) holds the
green (wasn’t expecting this).
4) I would like to say something about distance control, I’ve got none right now, not because of
the clubs, it’s a trust item.
5) Dispersion is as tight as anyone should ever expect from their clubs, almost scary at times.
6) Do these clubs even understand what rough is? They cut through thick lies, like it doesn’t exist
(wasn’t expecting this either)
So you might be saying what is wrong with distance control. Remember those 3 items factoring
into my game for this year (swing, performance training, custom clubs). I’m hitting on average 20+
yards longer then last year and still don’t trust myself when I should. I’ve clubbed up to hit shots
from the rough, only to clear the green by 25 yards. Each round is getting better, so I am more
encouraged of what these clubs are capable of when I go out and what I can do with them.
If you can’t tell the hidden message in here, you rock in building clubs. I may have to take pause
mid-season to really look at my bag and it’s make up (gaps) to see where it stands, it’s just too
early to make that call right now.
Thank you for all the TLC you poured into these!

Dear Bill,
The new clubs arrived safe and sound on Friday afternoon and I immediately went to a nearby
range here in Alexandria, and then played a round with friends on Saturday. I hit the ball just
great, and in particular drove the ball incredible distances with the new driver. Must be the yellow
Enzo shaft, which by the way drew lots of attention. The irons will take some getting used to as I
over clubbed a few shots. BUT, the dampening effect of the inserts was noticeable, and with the
Winn grips that are after all these years the right size, every single shot was a pleasure. Now all I
need is to get a proper grip on my putter and I'm ready for really low scoring. I took the liberty of
handing out your business cards so my friends who do come to Cincinnati can contact you one
day. In short, I'm very, very pleased.
It's nice to have the fitted clubs and to see the difference in my play.
Thanks again for everything,

Hope this finds you well. Loving the clubs you did for me. Qualified for the US Mid-Am
last year using them, best clubs I've ever played. Was wondering if you could make a 3
& 4 iron of the new Wishon hybrid (I'm pretty sure they are 585HI)...
Best regards,

Bill,
For the past year I have had the pleasure of many online conversations about golf in
general, but with the intent of building golf clubs. During the winter months I like to
evaluate my clubs and how they performed for me(or me for them) during the last
season. In many of my talks with Bill I could hear the passion for club building Bill
Weitzel possesses. It's always fun for me to meet people that have this particular trait
because it instills confidence that you're going to to get their best effort. The first thing I
had Bill do for me was a set of Infiniti AW-3 irons with SK Fiber shafts. The methods
that Bill employs to make each club is remarkable. I have owned so many sets of clubs I
hate to admit the number, but I like so many other golfers in the world are after the holy
grail in golf clubs. I'm hear to tell you it doesn't exist, but what you can do is have clubs
PROFESSIONALLY FIT for your personal specs and with a little work start to really
improve your game. I played high school golf and lettered 4 years in college golf and
have played as much competitive golf as my career allowed but won one club
championship and finished in the top five many other times at several clubs. My handicap
after college has always been between 2.5 to 4.5 index depending on how much I was
playing. After my 2007 season with the AW-3's Bill built for me, my index finished at 1.5
and a 3rd place finish in my club championship. Nothing else changed, just my irons, I
did every thing else the same. It took about 2 months for me to adjust to the irons, but
once I did I felt so much more confident and as a result more aggressive over the ball
when I was under the heat. I have gone on to have Bill build 2 more clubs(woods) for me
and I can't get over the quality of build Bill produces each and every time. I would highly
recommend for anyone to have Bill Weitzel build any type of club through out your bag,
you won't be sorry.

Dear Tom,
I’m writing this to offer my acknowledgement and thanks for the quality of clubs that I
have recently received from one your authorized list of dealers – Bill Weitzel of Conquest
Custom Golf in Cincinnati/Maineville, Ohio.
I have known about your equipment for some time and have read your book “The
Search for the Perfect Club”. Due to our small population here we have a real shortage
of people who have the right skills, ability, launch monitors or equipment to custom make
clubs properly and do so at a price that is advantageous as compared to paying the
inflated prices that the major OEM’s retail for.
Being some 8,000 miles away and having never met Bill before I went about informing
him exactly what I required as I already had a reasonable idea of measurements, swing
speed, lie angle, grip size required, flex requirements flex etc. We communicated and
fine tuned these details through several “question and answer” sessions via email. Bill
was very detailed and helpful in his assisting me with the right clubs, there were a few
minor changes away from what you would call “standard” measurements in what I
required. Bill went about building me a set of clubs, to the specific detail that we had
agreed.
I ordered 550C Irons 4-SW, 321 Li Irons number 2 and 3 Irons, a 949MC Driver 400cc
and the 515 3 wood, all in a variety if different shafts. A week or so later I ordered a
CLF putter which turned up within 5 days of leaving Bill"s workshop in Cincinnati/Cleves.
Depending on time of year and my form my handicap varies from about 5-8, so I class
myself as a reasonable golfer who has a reasonable understanding of what I require,
the difficulty has been finding someone who can cater for it with good quality equipment
and not “cheap imitation knock offs”
I’m please to report that the 550C Irons in particular are by far and away the best irons I
have ever played and certainly the most accurate and comfortable to use. The 949
driver and 515 3 wood after some early adjustment (particularly to how high I tee the
ball up) are fantastic!
I would like to personally thank you for the time and effort that you have put into
developing this great equipment, so that golfers like me do actually have a choice when
it comes to equipment.
I would also like to endorse the work of Bill in Cincinnati/Maineville, Ohio. It is certainly
a nerve racking experience spending so much money via email, and wondering when
your goods were going to turn up and whether they would arrive in good condition
considering how far they must travel. Bill was very thorough in his work, and products
were received in first class order. I would have no hesitation in purchasing more
equipment from him again or recommending Bill to others.
Bill and I had never met or spoken previously, my first contact with him was via an
inquiry through his website. Subsequently Bill and I have had a brief chat on the
telephone since the initial order placed and as I previously stated I would feel very
comfortable using Bill’s services again.
I’m quite happy for your company to use this letter as reference in any correspondence
if you so choose.
I’m highly satisfied with my equipment.
Thank you and best regards.
Tim J.
Hey Bill,
Just wanted to let you know that the clubs you put together for me are wonderful. It
took a good couple of months to get used to my new irons, but now I am seeing the
benefits. I have increased my distance, I am sure partly due to the stronger lofts than
my old blades, but also due to weight and shaft. I love the feeling that I can hit each
iron the same swing and get the same results due to the MOI Matching. My old clubs
had some nuances which made the change over to new irons difficult. I had different
swings for different clubs.
I am controlling my trajectory much better, which is fantastic because it has been very
windy this year. I am also playing much more "punch" shots.(Three-quarter, low shots
that take one bounce and stop) I used to only do those shots with my 9i on to sand
wedge-- now I can go to my 4i on down. Hope to hear from you . Thanks for a job well
done.
Hi Bill.
I thought I would update you on the clubs. I don't think I could be happier. I have been
to the range three times and things keep getting better and better. Right now I would
say that may favorite club in the bag is the Driver. I will keep you updated as I go
along. I love the Mark It. I have used it every time I have been at the range. I
purchased some low compression balls. The one that was listed second on both of the
tables from my ball fitting for the two different swing speeds was the Precept iQ180.
They are no longer made so I purchased some on a used ball site. I sacrificed one
while at the driving range because I wanted to see how much of a difference it made. It
was unbelievable. The feel was great, and I gained a minimum of 10 yards with the
driver. I know that was only one shot, but it impressed me.
