(1888PressRelease)
April 22, 2008 - The benefits of investing in a set of customised golf clubs are well documented – unfortunately, compared to a standard set of clubs, the cost can be higher and accessibility to this service, limited. Until now, a complete set of customised golf clubs could cost anywhere between £600 to £1,000 and take up to 14-days to manufacturer and deliver. Thanks to the launch of Forgan.co.uk – the first golf manufacturer to provide an online customisation service from the United Kingdom – golfers of all ability can afford to invest in their game.
To coincide with the launch of Forgan.co.uk – Forgan of St. Andrews has introduced an awe-inspiring range of golf clubs – exclusive to its website. All clubs are manufactured to the highest quality and specifications laid out by Forgan of St. Andrews, featuring state-of-the-art club technology and materials applied throughout the new line-up. The extensive range of drivers and woods feature the latest customisation and club-head technology, available in regular, square and triangular profiles – the later features perimeter weighting for additional control, accuracy and distance. The latest hybrid technology is now available on three new rescue clubs (series 1-3) – series 3 hybrid also features new perimeter weighting technology, in addition to an oversized club-head to enhance the sweet-spot. All irons and wedges are moulded to perfection with tour quality and performance guaranteed for the lifetime of these clubs.
Putters complete the line-up of new golf clubs from Forgan and feature ground-breaking new designs – the Forgan Series 2 putter features a hollow head design to redistribute weight to the outer edges of the club to increase the moment of inertia and deeper centre of gravity.
Forgan.co.uk provides a complete customisation service allowing players of all sizes and gender to customise their clubs – once, in six straightforward stages – Gender, Dexterity, Height, Floor-to-Wrist Height, Glove Size and Swing Speed. Visitors can then select from an extensive range of custom-fit golf clubs and all customisation requirements are automatically applied to each club. The website is available in English with pound and euro prices included – French and German languages are scheduled to launch shortly.
In addition to its new range of custom-fitted golf clubs – Forgan of St. Andrews has launched a new line-up of 14-way divider trolley bags and stand bags – both available in a variety of colours. Both stand and trolley bags are available exclusively from Forgan.co.uk.
