Custom Driver Heads
The titanium Driver business has been in flux for the
last few years. Originally a very high cost manufacturing
technique requiring expensive materials and a lot of
expensive hand labor, most manufacturing has now moved
to China. The result has been a lot of very cheap titanium
drivers that have tended to break pretty easily. As
you might expect, quality control in China is highly
suspect.
Our current favorite supplier of titanium driver heads
is an American company - Ruger. You will remember Ruger
as the original manufacturer of the Callaway titanium
heads. They have produced over 3 million heads in their
sophisticated factories. We think that they're quality
is fabulous. Beautiful "fit and finish". Plus,
it is a product that is "made in USA" which
we think is worth the premium price.
A couple of companies with Chinese connections stand
out. SMT (standing for Superior Metal Technology) is
a company that was formed to serve the long drive community
and because quality is such an important issue on the
long drive circuit. SMT heads are all "cannon tested"
before they're finished and highly inspected to assure
quality. Infiniti is another company with Chinese roots
that provides a quality product. We recommend both.
