“The VooDoo simply helps generate consitently straight and long shots - with feel competitor shafts can’t match.”

The new Aldila VooDoo shaft is specially designed with a patented, one piece carbon-fiber rib system. This hoop keeps the shaft more concentric during the swing, preventing shaft ovaling, deformation and wasted energy. This not only keeps the shaft’s structure stable, but it also maintains the shafts’s symmetry to play the same each swing, transferring the maximum energy a golfer can deliver to the ball. The Aldila VooDoo simply helps generate consitently straight and long shots - with feel competitor shafts can’t match. It’s designed particulary for the better player who’s seeking optimum low-to-mid launch angle and low spin, and is available in both 60g and 75g versions. To order call 800-367-8912.

Changing The Golf World One Degree At A Time!

Soon you will see one of the most innovative golf products to hit the market.  OK, every company says this about any of their new products, but we are going through the patent process to protect this idea. Personally this has been the most challenging project I have ever been a part of, but at the same time the most rewarding to see it work as it was envisioned.  You might have already seen a sneak peek of the new Dynacraft Prophet ICT driver, if not I wanted to give you an idea of just how powerful and versatile this clubhead system can be.

Before I do, let me give you a little background [Read more →]

If there is one comment we get from customers it is “How come you don’t make that club in left hand?”

First of all, one needs to realize that left-handed golfers represent approximately 10 percentage of the population in the US.  In addition, not all left handed people play golf left handed.  Therefore, manufacturers are usually very selective in what they offer in LH, because it is sound business practice to make clubs not only customers want, but will purchase enough to see a return on their investment.  Hireko does the best job amongst our competition in providing a wide assortment of clubs for LH golfers.

OK we listened; we made them and now it is your turn to buy them. Two of our newest models are now in stock – the Acer XK Pro iron and Power Play Caiman hybrid – in left hand. Customers who have requested low or reduced offset heads for the mid and lower handicapped golfing segment, here is what you have been salivating for.

Not only does the Acer XK Pro iron have reduced offset, but also a more compact blade length, narrow 4-way chamber sole and thinner topline preferred by better golfers.  The elongated hosel length is there to control the trajectory and allow the golfer to work the ball when need. However, it is still considered a game-improvement design from the undercut cavity to the enhanced heel-toe weighting providing the best of both worlds.

New Prophet Dual Milled CNC wedges combine classic styling with modern ingenuity.

Hireko Golf announces the launch of its new short-game scoring tool the Dynacraft Prophet Dual Milled CNC Wedge.

The Prophet Dual’s construction starts with a five step forging process from a billet of soft carbon steel to provide that unmistaken feel only a true forging can provide. This is not to be confused with form forging that other companies choose to manufacturer using much harder 8620 carbon steel.

“To ensure peak performance, we went to great strides to provide consistency in both the groove width and depth”, says technical director Jeff Summitt.

“The scorelines are CNC milled to USGA conforming U-grooves that less sophisticated methods such as stamping or hand grinding simply cannot. If you look very closely at the face, you will see an additional secondary skim milling operation to create these tiny micro-grooves. This helps to increase the surface roughness and further channel moisture between the ball and clubface for maximum spin.”

Through an unwavering commitment to innovation and value, Hireko is able to provide you with this premium product for what other manufacturers charge for their entry level wedges with far less attention to detail, technology and feel.

The soon-to-be classic Dynacraft Prophet Dual Milled CNC Wedges are available custom assembled in right-hand GW (52 degrees), SW (56 degrees) and LW (60 degrees) for only $38.95 each or as component clubheads for only $22.95.

Lessons Learned in Driver Design

It is time to provide a sneak peek of some of the new ’09 products and a little about their background. One of the many exciting new models slated to be introduced will be the Dynacraft Avatar XMOI driver.  But before it came to the final approved version that you will see next year it went through several – and I mean several design variations.

The goal was to make this project the highest moment of inertia (MOI) design we had to date.  From detailed initial drawing begun at the end of last year, to CAD, to the first sample received back in the early part of summer ’08, we finally produced a head which had a MOI of over 5400g-cm2. We could have stretched the MOI close to the highest allowable limit, but we wanted to maintain the normal 200g head weight we use on our other driver models. Our staff was very excited, as our previous highest driver measured in the 4700+ range.  But this begged to question, “Just how much more forgiving was this driver over our other models?”

If you have asked this question you are not alone.

The basic problem with comparing one manufacturer’s clubs to another is not all of the specifications will be the same.  The reason is there are no industry standards that all manufacturers must comply by, therefore this leads to diversity within the equipment that customers can purchase.  Each manufacturer has their own mind set or ideology as to what “standard” set of specification would be good for the average male and female golfer.

I picked 6 different manufacturer’s current product to show this diversity.  These brands were chosen because of their popularity, brand awareness or because of their knowledge and status within the golf industry.  As you can see that there is no consensus in wedge specifications amongst the major manufacturers as well.
