I’ve been doing some research into these custom fit clubs with their interchangable heads, weights and shafts and it just blows my mind the amount of customization available to golfers now-a-days.Â

For example, Callaway has something called the Opti-Fit system and it has 28 shaft combinations for their FT-5 & Hyper X drivers and 23 iron heads (x-20, FT, Big Bertha, Fusion Wide Sole, FT i-brid) for 667 head shaft combinations.Â

667 HEAD SHAFT COMBINATIONS!!!  Are you serious?!

This is delivered as a selling point….  I don’t need 667 DIFFERENT combinations to choose from, I’ll spend my entire time wondering if I made the wrong choice in combination and I’ll blame every bad shot on the wrong weight in the club, or the wrong head, or shaft, until the frail infrastructure of this authors limited sanity shatters and I spend the rest of my years in the great golf camp with the padded rooms… 🙂

I suppose the light at the end of the tunnel is that custom fit shops will now have more options to select from to help this pitiful golfers swing.

I will give credit to those damn fine metallurgists over at Callaway, they created a new type of alloy called tunite that weighs 20% more than stainless steel and has twice the density of titanium..

I love how we create all these totally amazing innovations in pursuit of a better golf game, but we can’t do anything about our dependency on fossil fuels.. 🙂
