Which component company has the best component heads?

[Break68]

I think that Callaway used to do their forging in Japan, but I could be wrong.

[Slammin' Stever]

By far the best component head out there is made by Krank Golf.

The "Krank Rage" has won the majority of long drive tournaments. Check the scoop on this head at

http://www.krankgolf.com/

and before one can say that it is because mainly long drivers use the head.
You will notice what they claim, Quote - "Krank Golf® sells 95% of our golf drivers to regular golfers and only 5% of our golf driver sales are to Long Drive Golfers. Krank Golf® has sold over 100,000 golf drivers worldwide."

They have a great component designs found in their fairway and hybrids as well.

They are also releasing a new head design in the new year, the Krank Element.

This head has heal and toe weighting, with an advanced hydro milled face and advanced energy transfer technology. Great looking and performing head.

My son just evaluated the Krank Golf Rage Black tonight. It had the identical shafts as his gamer Adams 9064LS.
Built to same spec's. Adams 9064LS won hands down, longer and straighter, plus it looks a lot nicer at address.

Anyone want to buy a used LH'ed Krank Golf driver head ... its only hit a few balls one trip to the range.

Great!, You must know by now what works for one does not always work for another. Different Heads, shafts, lengths, lofts, weights, grips, etc., all play a factor in finding the perfect club. With what sounds like another successful fitting maybe we will see your son on the long drive tour. All the best.

So very true Slammin' Stever; his bag has changed a lot this year, as the change to clubheads were pretty dormant for 8 years since what he had was working. What hasn't changed for him in over a dozen years are his shafts, grips and build specs, so its easy to evaluate just a head and pick the keepers to game. Everything is steel shafted XX flex except his driver which is XXX flex graphite.

He picks heads based on 'how it fits his eye at address', he dismisses most designs and he has never been on a LM so he doesn't know any of his numbers ... the #'s wouldn't mean anything to him. The woods from Adams Golf hit a Grand Slam this week, as he picked the 9064LS driver, F11 Ti 3W (made into a 4W) and Pro Black 9031 3/20 hybrid. I picked the Krank Golf Rage Black on a whim and he didn't like its looks after it arrived.

When I purchased the Pro Black 9031 hybrid used last summer he tried it once on the range and it wasn't nothing special, not good enough to kick out the Nickent Genex 3DX since 2004. The 9031 had a high end X flex graphite shaft, whereas his Nickent had a steel shaft which matched his iron and wedge set. Then I reshafted the 9031 last week to match the same steel shaft and build spec's as his Nickent and then Adams 9031 was better.

He is 5'10" and hit 360 yards several times on the flat with no wind, so not good enough for the Long Drive competitions, nor does this interests him. Instead he loves to be a 'birdie machine' on the course.

Probably get a lot of different opinions, but we believe the head is the most critical component, more important than the shaft. Sure they both work together to find the optimal club, so we standardize the shaft and tinker with the clubhead to find a better match to the player.

I am sure the Krank Golf Rage Black is great in the right hands, just wasn't for him. All the best in return.

TourIQ,

Sounds like a few more inches on the shaft and he would hit with the big guy's on the long drive tour with no problem. You know first and foremost for a club maker, the component has to fit the customers eye or no matter what we do, the "minds eye" will never accept the change for the better.

Your up in Wingham Ontario..correct?

Take care ..

In the case of the KGRB driver, it didn't fit his eye but never-the-less, he is still real objective when he trials a club I assemble, as he is looking for a performance gain, the only real reason for a change in clubs.

He played 47 inch driver for several years, but found it flatten out his swing and he wasn't as sharp tee-2-green with his irons ... so we chopped his driver to 45 inches and his ball striking with irons improved.

Yes Wingham, ON, Canada in Huron County ... part of the rural boonies, he, he!

Stever, where do you find the icons? All the BEST, HARRY!
