Our Clubs

A premium CNC-machined golf club head offers several advantages over traditionally manufactured heads, particularly in terms or precision, consistency and performance.  


MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Our CNC milling involves cutting a solid block of metal with computer-guided tools to achieve the desired intricate details. The design is programmed into the computer , which then precisely controls the machine to mill the club head to within thousandths of an inch. This contrasts with traditional methods like casting, where molten metal is poured into a mold, or forging, where metal is shaped under intense pressure and heat. These processes come with inherit drawbacks and inconsistent dimensional stability which include residual internal stresses during cooling. Compromises in the final shape must be made to allow manual bending of the final club. This results in adding to internal stresses, which can relieve over time causing to both loft and lie angles. 

In essence, a CNC-machined premium golf club head is a product of precision engineering, utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver superior performance, feel, and customization options for golfers seeking a competitive edge on the course. 

Key Characteristics and Benefits:

  • Superior Precision and Consistency: CNC milling, a computer-controlled process, allows for the creation of intricate designs with exceptionally tight tolerances. This means each club head is crafted to the exact specifications, ensuring consistent performance from one club to another, which is a major factor in improving control and accuracy.
  • Enhanced Feel and Feedback: The meticulous milling process results in a distinctive feel at impact, providing golfers with instant feedback on their stroke. This feedback can help golfers refine their technique and achieve a more consistent stroke and ball control.
  • Optimal Weight Distribution: CNC milling facilitates precise weight distribution within the club head, contributing to a more balanced and stable stroke. This reduces the likelihood of the club head twisting during the swing, leading to a smoother roll of the ball off the club head.
  • Feel and Control: A properly fitted shaft provides a better connection between the golfer and the clubhead, allowing for a more solid feel at impact and improved control. 

 Choosing the right shaft flex is highly dependent on an individual's swing speed, swing tempo, and personal preference: 

  • Swing Speed: Faster swing speeds generally require stiffer shafts for greater control, while slower swing speeds can benefit from more flexible shafts to help generate power.
  • Swing Tempo: Golfers with a quick, aggressive tempo might benefit from a stiffer shaft, while those with a smoother, slower tempo may find a more flexible shaft better suited to their swing.

                   Shaft Alignment

"Shaft alignment" of a golf club shaft is a method designed to align the shaft to its most stable bending plane, or "neutral axis". This process is based on the principle that golf shafts are not perfectly straight or round due to manufacturing tolerances. These imperfections can cause inconsistencies in the shaft's behavior during the swing, leading to off-line bending and twisting. Fabre brand shafts utilize a proprietary “Tru-Line Oscillation” method of shaft to club head alignment.

Why is it important to have proper golf shaft alignment?

The main goal is to minimize inconsistencies and maximize performance by ensuring the shaft is installed in the clubhead at its most stable orientation. 

Benefits of shaft alignment:

  • Increased Consistency: By minimizing structural imperfections and finding the optimal plane of oscillation, shaft alignment helps to reduce inconsistencies in the shaft's performance during the swing. This leads to more repeatable swings and a better understanding of how the club will perform.
  • Improved Accuracy: Reduced shaft inconsistencies translate into better shot dispersion and accuracy. Aligning the shaft helps the clubface to square up more consistently at impact, leading to more accurate shots.
  • Enhanced Control and Predictability: A properly aligned shaft provides better control and predictability throughout the swing, allowing golfers to hit the desired shot shape more reliably.
  • Potential Distance Gains: While some sources say that it may not be a major factor, the increased stability and efficiency of a properly aligned shaft can lead to increased clubhead speed, ball speed, and potentially longer shots, especially on longer clubs.
  • Better Feel: Many golfers report a smoother, softer feel at impact with properly aligned shafts, possibly due to reduced vibration. 

 

In essence, proper golf shaft alignment is important because it:

  • Counteracts manufacturing irregularities: Even high-end shafts can have slight inconsistencies.
  • Can lead to tangible improvements for golfers: These improvements include tighter dispersion, more consistent shots, better control, and potentially increased distance. 

 

It is important to note that the effectiveness of shaft alignment may vary from golfer to golfer, depending on their skill level and swing characteristics. Some sources, suggest that the benefits may be minimal, especially with advancements in shaft manufacturing. 

Swing Weight

Getting the correct swing weight on a golf club iron is important because it significantly impacts how the club feels during your swing and can therefore affect your performance in several key areas. Having a swing weight that is adjustable is key to obtaining the critical balance that is so important to improving your game play.

Here's why swing weight is important:

  • About Fabre Golf
  • Swing Speed: A lower swing weight (lighter feel) can help generate more clubhead speed, potentially increasing distance. However, a heavier swing weight may improve momentum, leading to more control.
  • Consistency: Matching the swing weight of clubs in a set promotes a consistent feel, aiding in a more repeatable and dependable swing.
  • Control and Accuracy: A swing weight that feels too heavy or too light can disrupt your tempo and rhythm, hindering accurate ball striking. Some players prefer a slightly higher swing weight for enhanced control.
  • Personal Preference: The optimal swing weight depends on your unique swing style, strength, and stamina.  

In essence, swing weight is a key factor in achieving a balanced swing and maximizing your performance on the course. 

However, it's also worth noting:

  • Some golfers may not be as sensitive to minor changes in swing weight as they might think, and total club weight can also be very influential.
  • Swing weight is one aspect of club fitting, and the ideal swing weight is determined during a fitting session, considering factors like shaft weight, length, and grip.
  • While swing weight matching across a set of irons is common for consistency, alternative approaches like Moment of Inertia (MOI) matching exist and can be beneficial for optimizing performance.
