I can ask for 10 different shafts and get 10 different results without even touching the club head. Endless adjustment options and combinations with club head and shaft, all legal and can be done within minutes. The 3rd layer is the multitude of ball choices.
I think you would be surprised at how many people will custom grind their own clubs because I know exactly what they want. They won't let another person touch them because they've been doing it for 20 years to get their own specific results
The engineer is an absolute tool in Ball Golf. They are told what to do, like programming a computer. Real Engineers the golfer who is out doing all of the research and development on the course, deciding which combination works best for them.
think about F1 racing and how dialed in the driver is with every piece of the car. They're the real engineers, but you're not going to see them stamping out parts for the car.
Good points. The amount of adjustments you can make to a golf club is essentially limitless now a days and it can all be done in seconds. I have tinkered with building my own clubs. I have reshafted and changed swingweight etc. It really is it's own hobby outside of actually playing golf. Each pro team has a whole tour van (which is a huge winnebago) to go in and make adjustments before and after the tournament or round to ever club if they desire. There are hundreds of heads and shafts and grips to choose from.
