I wanted to say first the N-Forcer 460 was specifically design by long drivers, for long drivers. After many years working with some of the top long drivers in this sport, the most telling comment was brought to my attention by George Slupski 17 time WLDC finalist. George said to me one day "Why can't a company manufacture a driver that has both high performance and durability". Sounds easy right? Actually, it really is.
Starting first, we utilized cup face technology (CFT) in the N-Forcer 460. The (CFT) moves the weld lines off the face. By moving the weld lines, this gives you a more consistent face material. This gives you a bigger sweet spot, making your off center shots more forgiving.
What you need to understand is in standard face welding construction, you end up with a welded bead around the inside area on the face. Now, as the club head is being finished, the beading has to be ground off right? Then the face is ground back to smooth. Finally the face has to be polished to remove any scratches created by the grinding. This method as you can see "could" create a club face that has waves or inconsistent metal thickness. These are several steps that (CFT) does not need. This is why I will only have (CFT) drivers manufactured.
Some companies would stop there, not us!
Variable Face Thickness (VFT) This technology is certainly not new and it's really pretty simple to explain. Starting at the center of the face the beta ti gets thinner as you move 360* toward the out side edges of the club head.
15.3.3.3 Beta Ti is a more dense material than sp700. This allows us to make our face thinner. Most driver faces made have a piece of beta Ti on average of 3.25mm thick. ALL OUT GOLF driver's center starts at 2.80 and vary down to 2.30 on the outside edges.
Almost done!
The last thing we did was we used threading inside of the hosel. One of the bigger problems in long drive is heads twisting loose or flying off at the range. The threaded hosel should reduce this problem.
This diagram show you some of the construction that goes into drivers today.
On the left hand side you see a standard face welded driver. Notice the 2 white line areas, this represents the face insert and welding area. This is part of the grinding process we spoke of earlier.
The right hand side is an example of (CFT). As you can see moving the weld lines from the face gives you a more consistent material.
Did you notice the variable face thickness?
This description is different than what you would see with most companies. I did not want to give the normal song and dance you see in some descriptions you see about other drivers. My goal was to let you be the judge and to understand how some drivers are made.
Thanks for your time and your business.
