Golf
Club Components: Playing Golf The
Lego Set Way

To
understand how to buy golf club
components, you first need to know how
these parts work and what they are in
the first place. So let’s begin in
this way. If you know the parts
already, treat this portion as a short
review of Golf 101.
The Grip
The grip of the golf club is important
because it is the extension of the
golfer's hands. According to the rules
of golf, the grip has to be round,
without obvious pockmarks which
detract significantly from the
roundness.
The Shaft
The shaft of the golf club connects
the grip to the head and, like the
grip, must also conform to accepted
roundness rules. Most modern golf club
shafts are made of either steel or a
carbon-fiber and resin composite. Now
it’s about time to explain the
concept and the theory behind a golf
club component. The operant word is
assembly type. It’s like playing
Lego set. So let’s say you want to
fit your choice of shaft to the rest
of the club components, you’ll be
running into a vendor that sells a
golf component kit. Now you’ve got
to be careful about whom you trust in
this business. It’s easy to ruin
your investment. It can get scratched
or worse, broken. It’s not a simple
glue or Epoxy situation.
Some unscrupulous golf component
vendors use a sacrificial laminate
process, involving grinding the
outside of the shaft. By cutting the
fibers on the surface, energy and feel
are lost. Solution: Look for a high
grade modulus shaft fiber which
results in very little loss of energy
from your hands to the clubface.
