The open stock heads tend to have a life cycle of 3-5 years with few changes to the model.Ī good fitter can get you durable clubs with decent quality control on specs for quite a bit less than name-brand clubs. Good fitters locate a source of open stock heads, and generally use name-brand or certain botique shafts. Ping won, and as part of the settlement all unsold Pro Tour Black iron sets and unfitted heads were melted down. Interesting side story: In late 1990s, Ping sued the Pro Tour company for patent infringement. But, the wedge grooves would still skin a ball if you really juiced it. I quit playing them when I got to where heavy stiff shafts were too much to swing. The heads were premium - $17 each rather than $12 - and proved very durable. This straightened my irons, which had tended to miss left once I got into midseason each year and was moving through the ball well. The fitter who build the clubs also gave me lessons, and used heads 2* flat in lie. I got Pro Tour Blacks - a Ping Eye2 clone - fitted with True Temper Dynalite S300 shafts (high launch cousin of Dynamic Golfs). The small company was Pro Tour, and had a solid following in Texas and Oklahoma. I played for 14 years with component irons. My club fitter knew his stuff, and was also a very qualified swing instructor. Whatever you decide, make sure you go through a "real" fitting.
I agree, resale is not so good, but from a quality standpoint, I think you can put them up to any of the major manufacturers. Prior to that, I played Mizuno irons forever, and then had a season or two with Maltby TE Irons which I have to say, are also great irons if you are looking for a forged head with a lot of perimeter weighting. I have been very pleased with the equipment and as many have said, a really good fitting has a lot to do with it. It really improved my driving results then I added a hybrid, then the Sterling Irons, and then a 4wood over the next few years. I started off 4 years ago with a Wishon 919 driver after going through a fitting. Do any of you have any experience with Wishon club head components? Or other custom club head components?
The best local clubfitter near me uses Wishon components to build custom clubs, and I've read about Tom Wishon.
