"Many thanks for the care you have taken in making my clubs - they feel so good through the set. I am delighted."

Sandy Forrest. Hcp. 10.
St. Andrews GC.

"My new clubs are proving a great success. I can now actually stand on the 150 yard marker and know that I can almost guarantee that the ball will travel about 150 yards!! The first time I hit my 7 wood I could hardly believe my eyes when it shot off absolutely straight and to a distance I had never before experienced. I wish I had discovered you several years ago!!"
Jenny Smith. Hcp. 29.
Minchinhapton GC.

"Just a quick note to let you know I am delighted with my new set of irons. The accuracy of my iron play has improved enormously and my handicap has already been cut by two strokes."
Dave Cooper. Hcp. 12.
Cotswold Hills GC.

"To think I put up with my clubs as they were for 20 years. At last I can really enjoy my game and all thanks to your patience and skill in advising me so well. My friends can't believe the amount of distance I have gained since my clubs were done. Thank you, Rene!"
Ted Harris. Hcp. 18.
Ross-on-Wye GC.

I write to tell you how much I love my new irons. In one week, I won 3rd prize at a senior open, a 1st at an Open Greensome and a 1st at a County Silver Division Trophy competition. As I told you, I really prefer woods, but these irons are so comfortable, I may well be coming back to your for some more. Many thanks!"
Elsie Allen. Hcp. 18.
Blackwell GC.

"I was very impressed with the trouble you took in my fitting session. The time you gave to me, over two hours, I was not expecting. My professional agrees how much more suitable my new clubs are, and the greater distance I get with them. With best wishes from a very happy customer."
Fiona Lunt. Hcp. 12.
Blackwell GC.

"I thought I would just write and tell you how delighted I have been with the golf clubs you made me last year. I feel really at home with them and they are a joy to play with and have increased my confidence in striking the ball.

In fact, I had very good season in 2001, resulting in reducing my handicap by four strokes and winning the ladies Merry Vase trophy which is a summer knock-out competition, the grand final being a day in September when all the club finals are played.

I do feel that it makes all the difference to ones game to have clubs custom made and thank you for your care and attention."

Margaret Chappenden.
Hcp. 27.
Cotswold Edge GC.

"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Rene Cleaver of Club Masters as I think her work is outstanding. I now realise the difference between custom built clubs and those bought "off the peg". "

John Inskip , hcp 19, Burnham and Berrow GC

"Just a note to say how delighted I am with the irons and 3 wood that you have made for me. The distance and accuracy they have given me is incredible. I think it no coincidence that I have had my first hole in one within 2 weeks of purchasing the irons and my first eagle on a par 5 (normally way out of reach in 2 shots for me) within 2 days of collecting the 3 wood.

My friends with whom I play have noticed the change in my game. My only regret is that I had not found you 32 years ago when I first started playing! Many, many thanks for your thorough professionalism and guidance in all of our meetings and the sheer quality of the finished product"

Eric Taylor Hcp. 14
Rodway Hill GC

Custom Built Clubs

At Club Masters we custom build golf clubs to exacting specifications not achievable in sets mass produced in a factory. Up to 15 specifications are set during the process.

 

Frequency matching is at the core of the Club Masters club building process. Shafts are measured and selected for the correct raw frequency and then progressively trimmed so that all clubs in the set match for flex. This provides the golfer with the same flex feel throughout the set.

 

From this painstaking matching procedure, through to accurate swing weighting, grip sizing, custom loft and lie setting and proper ferrule finishing, we are proud of the clubs we build.

Clubheads, shafts and grips

The best clubheads, shafts and grips are sourced from the leading manufacturers in the industry during regular trips to golf companies and trade shows in the US. Manufacturers are selected on the basis of quality and design and for their ability to build in technology that offers real benefit to player performance.

To give you a taste of what's available, a few examples of products we have had great success with are listed below. But it should be noted that there are many others of equal quality that we also use to suit our clients' requirements and tastes.

Tom Wishon Golf Technology iron designs range from classic double forged blades for accomplished players, to smart easy to hit cavity back models that inspire confidence in mid to high handicappers.

The award winning Wishon 770CFE is the first set of irons designed with thin, variable thickness faces. As the loft increases through the set, the face material changes for differential face deflection and impact feel. Truly game improving.

 
     
     
  The thin spring-face Wishon 720 drivers are specially engineered exclusively for golfers with slow swing speeds. Matching fairways are available in lofts of up to 25°.
     

The Wishon 515 GRT Driver has a vertically flat face design (0o roll), which ensures a consistent launch angle for any impact position.

While all titanium drivers offered at Club Masters have the maximum spring face effect, maximum .830 COR in the 515 fairway woods is a Wishon design first.

.

 
     
  No design gets closer to being a true hybrid club than the Wishon 321 Hybrid. These clubs are remarkably easy to hit. They take a matching .335” tip diameter shaft that gives a 4o increase in launch angle over conventional .370” irons shafts.
     

Wishon Smooth Series high MOI, low friction putters have tungsten bar weighting that also serves as a user friendly alignment aid. A weight cavity that accepts tungsten discs ensures a perfectly balanced putter at any length.

 
     

The Toski Target irons have one of the highest playability ratings that Ralph Maltby has ever designed. They are an ideal option to help mid to high handicap players enjoy newfound success.

 
     

 

Maltby and Toski clubheads are designed by Ralph Maltby to specific and measurable playability levels and can be easily matched to player type.

The Maltby Logic Lady woods, utility woods and irons get the ball nicely airborne and are in the super game improvement category. This range of designs allows for custom sets to match a wide variety of needs. Game improvement is highly likely.

 
         
  The Snake Eyes range has a product for every type of golfer. As a clubfitter, Rene's favourite model is the Quick Strike II utility wood, available in lofts of up to 31o. These woods are ideal for golfers looking for woods to replace long and mid irons.
     

Shafts

The shaft is critical to the performance of all golf clubs. Shaft fitting is central to Rene's custom fitting process and shaft frequency matching is at the core of the custom build process. To this end, Club Masters uses the best performing, most consistent shafts available from the industry leaders: True Temper, Royal Precision (Rifle), MCC - Apache, Grafalloy, UST, Wishon Golf Technology and Aldila.

Rene is a graduate of the Rifle Certification Program and operates the only Certified Rifle Fitting Centre in the UK.Club Masters is the only Certified Rifle Centre in the UK. As a graduate of the Royal Precision Rifle School, held in the USA, Rene is recognised as one of the most knowledgeable clubmakers in the building and re-shafting of golf clubs using Rifle and Royal Precision shafts.

We select from the best in golf to match the ideal shaft to your swing and your performance needs.

Grips

It will be no surprise to you that we use the best grips in the business: Golf Pride, Lamkin, Winn, and Avon. All models from these leading companies are available.

And like other aspects of our custom services, we go the extra mile in ensuring your grip is right for you. Guiding your choice from a large selection of grips so that you are comfortable with the feel, we then fit the grip so that it is the correct size for both of your hands.

Proven performance

The proof of a custom fitted, custom built golf club is in its performance. Satisfaction levels of our clients are extremely high. This is the best testament there is to the golf clubs we build for you.
