"I have fit Henry-Griffitts golf equipment since 1998 and believe that it is the best feeling and performing equipment in the golf industry.  I discovered the Henry-Griffitts fitting system after my days as a full time player.  After associating myself with the Henry-Griffitts company, I realized I spent many years attempting to fit my swing to various pieces of equipment.  Now that I have equipment that fits my swing, I have total confidence in my clubs.  As a teaching professional, I want the best for my students so I fit Henry-Griffitts clubs to make a difference."

Henry-Griffitts Precision Club Construction

Steel shafts - All steel shafts are sorted by gram weight and all shafts that weigh outside of weight tolerance are returned to shaft manufacture for credit. H-G will use the same weight shafts throughout the set of clubs for each customer and the weight of the shaft used is documented under the customer name in our data base for future matching orders.

Graphite shafts - All graphite shafts are sorted by frequency cycles and when building a set of graphite clubs we will use the same starting frequency throughout the set. The starting frequency is also documented under the customer name in our data base. All shafts that frequency outside our frequency tolerance is returned to the graphite manufacture for credit.

Cutting of golf shafts - Henry-Griffitts, Inc. has the tightest frequency tolerances throughout a set of clubs than any other manufacture in the industry. From the longest club to the shortest club the frequency will only increase by 1 to 2 cycles between each club, in most manufactures their frequency will increase by 4 to 5 cycles between each club. What this means in a set of club is that instead of up to a 32 cycle change in a set of clubs, H-G’s sets of clubs will only have up to a 15 cycle change from longest to the shortest club. It only takes 15 cycles to make a different shaft flex, meaning there is at lest two different shafts flexes in a typical non H-G set of clubs. H-G’s length tolerance when cutting shafts is plus or minus a 1/16”.

Iron Heading - Five Irons in the H-G demo’s all weigh between 254 grams to 256 grams, so when we are building a set of irons we always start with a 5 iron that matches the weight of the demo 5 iron and then match the other clubs to that 5 iron swing weight. Swing weight tolerance in a set of H-G clubs is plus or minus a ½ swing weight based off the average swing weight throughout the set. Half a swing weight is 1 gram in head weight. This is the first of three swing weight checks we do during the club building process, and it’s called the head swing weight. The head swing weight is recorded under the customer’s name in our data base for future matches. All iron heads that come into the H-G plant are sorted into bins by gram weight.

Wood Heading - Using hot melt special glue all heads that come into the H-G plant are weighted up to a gram weight that matches the woods in the demo systems. When heading woods we will swing out each wood and document those swing weights under the customer’s name in our data base. Swing weight tolerance is plus or minus a ½ swing weight.

Iron Bending - Every iron head is put into our iron loft and lie machine, and matched to the loft and lie angles provided by the fitter. H-G’s tolerance on lofts and lies is plus or minus a ½°. Henry-Griffitts, Inc. has a lie angle range from 8° flat to 6° up, and a range on lofts from 2° strong to 3° weak off of standard lofts.

Wood Bending - The H-G drivers are not bendable since they are a titanium head, but we still check lie angles and face angles to make sure they match the demo system wood heads. If a driver falls out side of the H-G tolerance, we will return it to the manufacture to be bent back to the H-G tolerance. Since H-G’s tolerance on face angle is plus or minus ½°, and the head manufactures tolerance is plus or minus 1½°, H-G will have to pay a special price to have it moved back to our tolerance, although there are times when the face angle will come in outside the head manufactures tolerances, those would be adjusted for free. H-G’s fairway woods are all adjusted for both face angle and lie angle.

H-G bends both the face angles and lies from 3° flat to 3° up. Tolerance on these two angles is plus or minus ½°.

SST PURING - The purring process is done after the shafts have been cut to length, and is done to put the shaft in a stable position. H-G is the only golf club manufacture that offers purring in the golf club assembly line. H-G gives the fitter the option of having a club purred on the weak side for higher ball flight or on the stiff side for lower ball flight. By purring a shaft we can assure the customer that the shaft will not influence left or right ball flight because the shaft will be epoxy into a neutral position.

EPOXY - H-G adds 1 gram of epoxy to every club to assure a life-long epoxy bond. This is also another area during the club building process that we check the swing weight on each club to make sure they are all within H-G’s swing weight tolerance; this is called the epoxy swing weight. Also during the epoxy process H-G will use a fine sand to help center the shaft into the hosel of each golf head. The epoxy swing weight is documented under the customer’s name in the data base for future match orders.

Grip Build Up - Using 2” wide build up tape, H-G will build up each grip to match the customer’s needs. H-G’s grip sizes range from -1/32 under too +1/16 over. Since the butt size on golf shafts vary H-G has a special build up chart that shows the amount of build up wraps it will take to match the requested grip sizes.

Gripping - All grips that come into the H-G plant are sorted by the gram weight. A box of the same style grips can range from 49 grams to 56 grams. It is important to use the same weight grip on all the clubs throughout the set so the swing weights stay the same. Once the grip type is selected the gripper will document the gram weight of the grip used in our data base under the customer’s name. After the grip is placed on the club and aligned, we will then swing weight out each club for the 3RD time, this is called the final swing weight. The final swing weight is also documented under the customer name in the data base for future orders.

Final Check - All clubs go through final check before shipping out to the customers, each club is checked vs. the specification sheet to make sure the club was built correctly; we also look for any cosmetic flaws. If the club passes inspection a customer name tag is placed on the clubs, and shipped out. Clubs usually go out within 3 days of when order was placed.

HG Beliefs
Professional golfers recognize the foundations of performance. For decades, touring professionals have insisted that manufacturers custom fit their clubs, the tools of their demanding trade, to their specific body types and swing motions. Tournament players and club pros understand that consistent results are not possible without an unshakeable confidence in their equipment. Customized equipment provides that confidence. It's a given; they wouldn't dream of buying mass-produced clubs off the rack.

For 21 years, Henry-Griffitts has asked, "Why should you?"

Henry-Griffitts, Inc. was founded on the premise that players of all abilities tangibly benefit from custom-fitted golf equipment. Since 1983, this Hayden, Idaho-based firm has delivered more than the world's premier fitted clubs - it has continually delivered the confidence that golfers of all abilities seek. Henry-Griffitts knows what golf professionals have always known: On-course performance is maximized when clubs are custom fit, then meticulously manufactured to the tightest specifications in golf. Because it delivers these foundations of performance, Henry-Griffitts delivers confidence.

We believe that: 

Equipment Affects Motion® - We believe that the Teacher can use the golf club to make beneficial and lasting changes in students' motion. Simply, equipment that fits - improves the golf swing. The equipment should be integral to your motion promoting a sound and repeatable swing.

We Value Teachers - HG believes only golf professionals and golf teachers, trained in the HG methodology and using HG fittings tools, can effectively fit golf clubs to players of all abilities. To match specific club characteristics to individual swing motions and body types is a painstaking, highly nuanced blend of art and science.

Ball Flight is Dynamic - When a student can see and understand their ball flight, learning will take place. It is imperative that the teaching be undertaken outdoors where the feedback from changes in the configuration of the equipment can immediately be visualized. This feedback is used iteratively by the teacher to best tailor the equipment to individual swing motions.

Balance is Fundamental - Balance is the way HG approaches life and the game. Balance is exhibited by a solid swing that starts and finishes in a controlled, smooth effortless and coordinated motion. Balance in the body and club are intrinsically connected - at address, during take-away, at the top of the swing, through impact, at the finish. Without equipment that is finely crafted and configured to your unique swing motion, balance cannot be achieved in a repeatable, reliable form.

Precision Makes Perfect - HG Certified Teachers strive to find the single best equipment configuration for their students. HG provides our Certified Teachers with our patented Inter-Changeable System (ICS) that empowers the teacher with an unprecedented 6,500 different club combinations. Alternative systems typically feature 20 to 30 demonstration clubs of various lies, shafts, lengths and flexes. Each golf swing is like a fingerprint in that it is totally unique to every student - 14 key golf club characteristics are manipulated and evaluated throughout the lesson. It is this level of precision that the ICS system puts at the fingertips of the teacher. The precision involved during the lesson is continued through production with each club component weighted and measured to the gram, the tightest tolerances in the industry.

Feedback is Fundamental - Improvement comes from feedback. HG has its very foundations routed in the value of highly quality consistent feedback through the dynamic observation of ball flight. HG rigorously applies the value of feedback throughout the company, from our Certified Teaching Professionals, our students, and ourselves.

Adopt New Technology - We strive to introduce and discover new means of improving our ability to match swing with the perfect fit. While we recognize that teaching is a blend of "art and science" we are constantly looking for improvements and technology to further enhance a students' confidence.

Build Long-Term Relationships - HG seeks long-term relationships with employees, golf professionals, customers and suppliers. Golf is a passion, a life long game - just as people build a relationship with their doctors, our HG Certified Teaching Professionals duty is to improve your confidence in your golf game, for life.

We Schedule the "Follow-up" First - The most important moment for a new HG student is after receiving their new clubs - we celebrate it! We are there to ensure golfers experience the utmost from their equipment.

Champion Confidence - Providing confidence is our purpose and it is why golfers seek our superior services and equipment.
