WHY SMITHWORKS WEDGES
We're here to address the golf that has been made between young players, older players and Tour Pro’s in shot making ability around the greens. We want to boost participation, attract new players, make occasional golfers want to play more and turn these into avid golfers by developing the game. We aren’t trying to go away from the traditions of the game, but instead bring back some aspects of shot making that have been taken away. These regulation changes are really aimed at 0.01% of the world golfers - elite pros - because of escalating distance achieved with ball and club giving unfair advantages. Golf ball innovations of the golf ball from Balata cover and wound core to multi-layer sold balls have added distance but taken away some of the fun around the greens. Groove restrictions have also impacted wedges and shot making around the green. Tour players have the luxury of playing new wedges every week which many do to retain the factory groove sharpness, amateur players and non tour pro’s don’t have the same opportunity. 99.99% of us will not hit the ball as far as the tour player, but with Smithworks wedges we can certainly hit shots up to and around the greens worthy of any tour player. Our aim is to bring the fun back into our beloved game for the old and new golfers alike.
WHY SMITHWORKS PUTTERS
After great success with our wedges we had many of our customers asking us about our next product. Would we expand into other areas of the shortgame or indeed the long game? When we looked at what was going on in the putter world with a lot a flash, multi coloured putters with inserts of various types we knew we could do better. Many of today’s putter are based on looks or trend, not performance. Smithworks is all about performance and fun. If you hole more putts and enjoy the feel and strike of your putter you will no doubt have more fun.
