We are now offering the Grenade as golf club components!

After a number of emails and phone calls we are proud to announce that we are now offering the Grenade golf driver head and Grenade golf shaft as components.

The Grenade golf club components are available on our website at www.bombtechgolf.com

In addition to our current golf driver line, we have been working on a new high performance aftermarket golf shaft. The first sample is on its way. The new golf shaft will be low spin, low torque and tour weighted. This will give our very high swing speed players another option for the Grenade golf driver.

More golf club components on the way.

Are you playing the wrong shaft flex?

So what happens if you are playing the "wrong" golf shaft flex? Well, technically there is no wrong shaft flex but there certainly is an optimized shaft flex for your specific swing speed.

The most common mistake, is playing a golf shaft that is too stiff. If you are playing a golf shaft that is too stiff for your swing speed or golf mechanics, you may experience the following.

1. Lower ball flight which leads to less distance.

2. A fade or leaking ball flight. This occurs because the golfer cannot flex the golf shaft enough to create a square impact position.

3. It won't feel great even on center hits.

If you are playing a golf shaft that is too flexible, you may experience the following. (less common)

1. Higher ball flight, regardless of loft which can result in less distance. Which for many golfers is needed.

2. A draw or slightly hooking ball flight. More forward bend of the shaft at impact can cause the face to rotate past square and become closed.

3. Better feel and solid contact

Each golfer should take a look at their natural swing tendencies and club head speed before selecting a shaft flex that will be best for their overall game. A golfer that plays a golf shaft that is too stiff will cause far more harm for their game than by choosing a shaft that is a too soft. So if you are on the fence, choose the softer of the two flexes.

New Golf Clubs for 2014 - 3 wood and 5 are now available.

We are extremely excited to announce that we have expanded our golf driver line into a full set of fairway woods. We are offering a 3 wood and 5 wood to complete our Grenade golf fairway woods line. The 3 wood and 5 wood are similar to the golf driver in design and are each hand assembled in Vermont, USA.

The 3 wood and 5 wood use the same Dual Cavity design that has made our golf driver so popular. The Dual Cavity design has been modified to accommodate for swinging off the deck. In addition, we engineered a thinner crown and thicker sole to help golfers when in hitting from shallow divots and thick rough.

Specifications for your information:

Grenade Club Head Specs
Face Material: Carpenter Marging Alloy

The 3 wood and 5 wood golf clubs have shown very high smash factors and ball speeds. We use a C455 face plate that is vacuum heat treated to create a higher COR and better feel. In addition to the club head design and manufacturing process we are using the same high quality shaft by Matrix for our 3 wood and 5 wood fairway woods.

What does the future hold for golf retail?

Golf retail and retail in general is going through massive changes. What I mean by changes, is layoffs and declining sales. A very common problem that is rarely talked about, is called "showrooming." Here is a better description than I can offer from Wikipedia.

"Showrooming is the practice of examining merchandise in a traditional brick and mortar retail store without purchasing it, but then shopping online to find a lower price for the same item. Online often offer lower prices than their brick and mortar counterparts, because they do not have the same overhead costs. Showrooming can be costly to retailers, not only in terms of the loss of the sale, but also due to damage caused to the store's floor samples of a product through constant examination from consumers.

Showrooming was said to be behind the collapse of UK photography chain Jessops and Target's decision to discontinue carrying the Amazon Kindle." Wikipedia

So if you are a retail store owner, what can be done? Well, not much. Sell value and service plans but the ability to purchase online has become so common and easy that it is becoming the norm over physically walking into a store and purchasing a product.

Ok, so what does that mean for GOLF. Golfer's typically want to swing or try golf equipment before making a purchase. But online golf companies with great return policies are able to get over the hurdle of trying before buying. Also, selling direct to consumer via the web allows manufacturers to offer better prices since no re-seller or middle man is involved.

We us the direct to consumer approach to offer the finest quality at great prices. So, be prepared golf retail will be changing...and a lot sooner than many are thinking.

Do you buy online or do you still go into the store to buy your golf equipment?

Everyone is familiar with your standard golf club.

Here is our definition:

The next category of golf clubs, needs a new category.

Custom Golf Club: When, I think of custom golf clubs I think of an in-person club fitting that is 100% custom to the person. This process is the least popular but best defines custom, as the golfer is measured by a club fitter and the fitter builds the club by hand for that individual.

So that's all the categories of clubs right? Pre-built or built custom to you in person. Well, no. We are missing a growing category, that I am proud to call "SEMI-CUSTOM."

Semi-Custom Golf Club: This new category best explains how we build our golf clubs. Each golf club is hand assembled for the individual that ordered it, but no in person fitting process has been completed. Our online fitting and/or discussions allows us to create a semi-custom golf club that can help maximize your game without going through a full fitting process.

We also offer a "standard" set up, meaning that if we were sold in retail what length we would build our clubs to.

Standard golf club, custom golf club, and now SEMI-CUSTOM golf club.

Which type of golf club will you choose?
