HCL Concord Golf
Introducing our new patented Rapid
Fire Multi Flex wood shafts!!!
- They will whip through the impact zone and hit the ball farther.
- They will turn the clubhead toe to square at impact, and combat slicing.
Two years in the making, these are the best value in golf!

While Tour players, pro's and low handicappers, seem to prefer irons over woods (some
may only have a driver and 3 wood in their bag), nontheless there has been an increasing trend to
more woods and fewer irons. Over half of the inquiries we receive state that the longest
iron the player hits well is the 5 iron. These same people are able to hit fairway woods in place
of long irons and seek substitutions for the 3 and 4 irons. Others will prefer hybrid irons to solve the
problem of getting long irons to lift the ball into the air at a proper launch angle. For this reason we
have stressed fairway woods in the listing below, and have offered sets of irons, with the long clubs
being optional, in our irons/hybrid section. This allows the player to economically pick what he really
needs.
We have repeatedly noted that many players are using wood lofts,
especially in drivers and 3 woods, that are much too strong for
them. This is a recent quotation from Lanny Wadkins. "I played 8 degree
and 9 degree drivers my whole life. When I switched to a 10.5 degree driver, the first thing I did was be
able to get the ball up and turn it over. And I hit it longer". Unless the player has a
swing speed 100 mph or better, driver lofts below 10 degrees and 3 wood lofts below 15 degrees, should
prove counter productive. Most players will achieve greater distance by greater ball carry - by getting
the ball in the air at a higher launch angle. Strong lofts also promote slicing, especially on the longer
clubs.
The drivers offered range in volume from 300 cc's to 460 cc's. In theory the
wider the head the less twist on an off center hit. In practice, however, slower swingers who
have a slicing problem generally arrive at impact with the club face open and impart a glancing blow to
the ball. The wider the head the worse the situation since it now becomes difficult to square up the head
due to inertial drag. If the golfer cannot correct the problem through practice or lessons,
experience has shown that most such players are better served with heads that are narrower, in the order
of 94 to 98 mm's measured from heel to toe. For those who fight a hook, the wider heads will
add toe drag and tend to straighten out the ball flight. Square hits on the face center typically
add 10 to 15 yards to the drive with no increase in swing speed. Each player is unique and
must pick those clubs that fit his or her swing, not what the Tour Pro's are using.
Fairway woods do not have to be matched to the driver model, or vice versa. If, for
example, you have trouble getting a #3 wood airborne from the fairway then you should select a low profile
model or a higher lofted model. Or select a strong lofted #5 wood and make it a little longer to capture
more distance. Should you want to make a high lofted wood, a 5 , 7 or 9, an inch or more longer than
standard then please check with us by e- mail. We will advise if the head weight is compatible with that
length. When you use the swing speed table in the Club Fitting section to pick the shaft flex, you will
have automatically taken care of matching the wood to your swing.
( All woods have our own proprietary performance graphite shafts. The Rapid Fire shafts are
offered as an option in most cases).
Standard wood lengths are (except where otherwise noted) listed below, as well as the
recommended shaft flxes:-
