The Science behind the clubs

Most “off the rack” or “Clone” manufactures advertise “Beta Titanium”.  What this means is the clubhead is a mix of titanium and cheaper metals.  This produces a cheaper, less consistent shorter distance shots, especially on off center strikes. 
(As you can imagine, golf companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties to their sponsored tour professionals must cut corners whenever they can)

The CFC SVG Square Forged Driver, CFC Tour Series Forged Drivers, & CFC Tri-Port Dyna-Flite are 964 Grade Titanium (This is the grade the tour pros are using). Important differences between beta titanium and 964 Grade titanium need to be recognized. These are:

• 964 Titanium’s lower density
• 964 Titanium’s lower modulus of elasticity
• 964 Titanium’s higher melting point
• 964 Titanium’s propensity to gall
• 964 Titanium’s sensitivity toward contamination during welding
• 964 Titanium’s higher cost

Compensation for these differences allows 964 grade titanium to be fabricated, using techniques similar to those with stainless steel or nickel-base alloys. In non-technical terms: this is the “Ferrari” metal for a driver.

Technical explanation:

A loss of 15 to 25 degrees in included bend angle must be expected, due to springback of titanium after forming. The higher 964 grade alloy, the greater the degree of springback to be expected. Compensation for springback is made by overforming. Hot sizing of cold formed titanium alloy parts has been successfully employed. This technique virtually eliminates springback when the hot sizing temperature is high enough to allow stress relief.  This produces a near flawless driver in the manufacturing process that hits longer, straighter, and more forgiving on a miss hit.

Velocity & Gravity of the driver

The intersection of all the balance points of the clubhead is called the Center of Gravity (CG).  This is located deep inside the clubhead.

By moving the CG to the rear of the CFC SVG Square & Professional Tour Series, and to the outer most points of the SVG Square head, the launch or spring effect creates a higher velocity of the ball, resulting in longer drives.  CFC Tri-Port Dyna-Flight is adjustable. 

The moment of inertia or MOI is extremely important with drivers and putters.

The amount the head twists around the axis straight through the center of gravity in response to an off-center hit is determined by the clubheads MOI.  The higher MOI of the head, the less the head twists and the higher the ball speed will be from an off-center hit.  Moving the weight back and to the perimeter increases the MOI.  CFC drivers are much easier to hit and more forgiving to golfers @ every level.

Why Forged Clubs?

There are many steps in the production of one of these clubs once its actual design has been accepted by the CFC Golf Master designer.

Step 1
The head starts life as cylindrical stick of mild iron, which is then heated to 1200 degrees Celsius, so that the iron maintains its chemical integrity. Note that this is the structure for the head and not the hosel, which is added later.

Step 2
The heated cylinder is then struck with a massive forging hammer, which creates the initial rough shape of the head.

Step 3
The edges are now trimmed and the rough head is now pounded again with the forging hammer. The force used is very precise, and along with the head of the rough head this creates the molecular structure of the head.

Step 4
The head is hit a third and fourth time, by which the head is now well defined and is in a smooth and unblemished state. Once in this state, the score lines and any artwork and iron numbers can be stamped into the head.

Step 5
The hosel now comes into the picture. The hosel cylinder is now spin welded onto the head in a very precise manner to make sure lofts and lies are of an exact nature by the CFC Club Staff.

Step 6
At this point we have a raw but technically advanced head, ready to be finished off by the CFC Golf Master Craftsmen.

Step 7
Grinding and polishing now takes place to make sure each head is taken to its specified weight. Each iron has its own designated weight which will generally see a 4 gram increment between irons, which allows for very tight swing weight matching.  These are the clubs the Pro’s demand.

Step 8
A final polishing is done in a purposely-built polishing barrel, which is capable of producing any sort of finish required via a variety of techniques. Now plating is applied, using either Nickel Chrome or W Nickel for a Satin Finish to the face with a touch of copper to the chrome for the rest of the club head and hosel.
The face now requires a light sandblasting to give it of grip for the ball to munch on. The chrome is taped over here, allowing only the face to be blasted.
Now the club is ready, apart from painting in the number and model stampings.
