Mitchell® Golf Equipment Institute completed two Club Repair Technician Schools and its first True Temper® Gold Certified School at its new expanded classroom at Orange County National Golf Center in Orlando, Florida.
Mitchell® Club Repair Technician Schools include instruction and hands-on experience in re-shafting, re-gripping and measuring & bending golf club angles. Students attend an extensive 3-day class related to all types of club repair. Classes include detailed lectures concerning club specifications and performance, followed by hands on experience in Mitchell® Golf’s state-of-the-art club repair lab. Each attendee learns repair techniques necessary for today’s modern golf club designs including frequency matching golf shafts.
The new True Temper "Gold Certified" Shaft Performance Fitting School offers an all-encompassing education on the manufacturing and testing philosophy of the "gold" family of shafts. Emphasis is placed on learning the intricacies of frequency-tuning the new Black Gold® shaft and building clubs with standard, mid, and variable tip flexes for varying launch trajectories. Hard and soft stepping is taught to create different flex variations.
