Tom Bailey started making golf clubs as a hobby, mainly to build a better set of golf clubs for himself.

Then his goal was to sell 50 sets a year to fund his passion for golf and his company – Avoda golf. His company is promoted on a modest website – www.avodagolf.com

It promotes combo length clubs, same length clubs and clothing.

When Bryson DeChambeau of LIV Golf hired him to build a prototype set of single-length irons, a specialist area for Bailey, made by 3D printing to his exacting bulge-and-roll specifications and put them in his bag – things changed. everything.

With the prototypes only completed the week before The Masters in April, there seemed to be no rush.

The clubs were immediately approved by the golf authorities the week of The Masters – and Bryson took the leap of faith and used them that week – finishing in joint sixth place.

He then played in the US PGA and finished second before winning the US Open at Pinehurst last week – the rest is history and Bryson and Bryson golf clubs are the talk of the town.

Bailey was recommended to Bryson by his longtime coach Mike Schy, and the first batches of Avoda clubs were built at Schy’s Academy in Dragon Fly Golf Club, California.

Single-length golf clubs with thicker handles were the first step for Bryson.

Next, a bulge and roll is incorporated into the face design of the irons.

Bulge and scrolls have traditionally only been incorporated into wood designs. The clubs are geared more towards a hybrid than an iron.

Bulge is the heel-toe curvature on a club face, and roll is the curvature of the crown sole. Bryson believes this new iron design reduces the ‘acceleration effect’ on off-center shots and produces shots that end closer to the intended target line.

No one can argue with that.

Bryson may have initially been seen as a golfer with power – now his accuracy, intelligence, course management and, most importantly, his results are admired by his peers and all golf fans.

Bailey noted, “Everything has been so non-stop that we haven’t really had a chance to sit down, pause and move right yet.”

What’s next for Bailey and Bryson?

Only time will tell, but there is no doubting the impact of these new clubs – and Bryson’s recent success has been nothing short of remarkable.

Will this translate into the mass market for golf manufacturers?

Let’s watch this space. Golf is all about finding a better and easier way to play, hitting the ball (usually further), getting a lower score and thereby having fun – it has certainly added a new exciting conversation to the game – thanks Bryson and Bailey
