Getting This Iconic Putter Added to the USGA Conforming List Took Some Convincing

Jeff Sheets, from Sheets Golf Design, is an equipment industry veteran known for well over 500 club designs. He has worked with golfers of all skill levels and developed everything from long-drive drivers to putters, and everything in between, including the famous 1999 Ben Hogan Apex Blades, and Wilson Deep Red woods and irons.

I should also note that as a young person getting into the club building and fitting world, I first met Jeff when he was working at Golfsmith, and I attended my first Golfsmith club building classes in Austin Texas, close to 20 years ago.

Even with our long-standing relationship, this was the first time Jeff and I had ever sat down to talk about his career in the golf equipment world, and we covered everything from the importance of iron shafts to getting clubs onto the USGA conforming list.
