ARE YOU TIRED of the results you’re getting from your golf clubs. Tired of the handicap going up, and never going down.

Tired of losing all the bets, tired of buying the beer, the wings, the burgers and the pizza when the round is over.

Having those higher handicap guys blast it past you down the fairway, even when you hit a good drive.

Yeah, that’s no fun. How old are your clubs anyway. So are they older than your car that you bought new 6 years ago. Well if so, then it’s time for the old clubs to go, and for you to get some new ones in the bag.

IT STARTS HERE, in Willowbrook IL. the corporate home of Club Champion. Where one building doesn’t get it done. It takes two.

Club Champion club fitters, who have more locations across the country than other golf club fitting company, make their home right along Rt. 83 in the town of Willowbrook.

But it’s not all done in one store, the full operation takes two buildings. They are across the street from one another. The corporate office, the lab and club building stations, shipping, the call center, and the front office are on the southside of the street. The fitting store on the northside, so some employees walk back and forth across the street several times a day. One of them is company founder, and master fitter and builder Nick Sherburne.

Club Champion Founder Nick Sherburne shows off the custom designed box, that your new fitted clubs will arrive in.

Club Champion in Willowbrook is much more than the fitting store, that you see in some locations. The overall size of the operation is much bigger.

It’s also the training facility for all of the companies fitters and club builders.

New builders spend one month learning the Club Champion way, under “professor” Brad Syslo at Club Champion University, before they are are sent out on their own.

In between the shipping area, the training area, and the corporate offices, there is a club building area, where a team of builders are making sure your clubs are just how you hit them during the fitting session in the store.

Club Champion club builders take every step to make sure your clubs, are just how you want them.

One area of club building that can really elevate a golfers game, is the shaft you put in your clubs.

While some companies will admit that club heads and grooves are up against the wall because of USGA standards. Shafts are still the area where there is room for growth.

Getting the right shaft in your club, can make a world of diffence. So how do you know if you have the right shaft, and how can you tell if the shaft comes complete in the best condition it can be.

The PUREd Shaft work area, with the testing machines.

PUREd shafts are a technology that PGA Tour professionals, have trusted for 15 years in making over $1.5 billion dollars.

“Knowing what I know from years in the industry, I’m baffled that more golfers aren’t aware of SST PURE,” said Sherburne. “There is a reason that Club Champion recommends all shafts be PUREd, and we even include it free with our custom built woods (normally $30). Golfers who are looking for more consistency, should start by having PUREd shafts in their clubs.”

Test’s run by Club Champion in a controlled enviroment. Tested the same clubs, with the same heads, shaft, grip, loft, lie, weight, swing weight and length. The only difference was the shaft. A vareity of golfers hit a series of shots with a six-iron. The tests proved that PUREd shafts added distance and accuracy, that the non-PUREd shafts did not deliver. PUREd shafts also allowed for players to swing them 1 MPH faster, that added 2.8 MPH of ball speed.

So if your looking for better clubs, from top to bottom and everything in between. Now is the time to visit Club Champion, with several Chicago area locations and a Scottsdale Arizona store and more locations opening soon. Because your clubs need to fit your game and your swing, don’t be afraid to ask about PUREd shafts, and what they can do for you. So visit Clubchampiongolf.com or call (888)-340-7820.
