Best Bang for the Buck!

Best bang for the buck and best experience I have ever had with golf equipment. I had been struggling for some time with getting good, consistent hits with my irons. I stopped by this shop last week on a whim and spoke to both Mike and Aljoe about my issue and showed them my clubs. They took some measurements, looked at my swing, and were able to immediately diagnose my problem. Unfortunately, the clubs I had couldn't be adjusted to the amount needed, so Aljoe gave me a great deal on a set of forged irons that they customized to my swing. All I can say is WOW. The difference in performance was staggering. I have never hit the balls so straight, long, and consistent in my life! Aljoe has a great understanding of what works, and also gave some great advice on my driver swing that helped improve my slice. It was very clear to me that his priority is helping people increase their enjoyment of the game of golf. I live about 45 minutes away, and going forward, will be making this shop my 1st stop anytime I am looking to change up my golf equipment.

Wow!

Went to this store to regrip my driver and tweak my irons because I had a change in my swing. Aljoe not only did he tweak my irons, he suggested that my driver needed to be cut and change grip to a larger size for better control and distance in accordance with my swing change. I asked if he was sure? Since the driver (R11TP) was a few years old already, maybe it's become obsolete. I was already willing to buy a new TM M1, so maybe new would be good because of new tech and renewed confidence. He said my driver is a good driver and with my swing will probably hit as long, maybe even longer than the TP M1's. I said OK to getting my current driver cut, re-gripped, and we'll see if you can drive it good again. I trust he knows what he's talking about, so I let him do what he does best. He checked the shaft tension to make sure it was true to specs, lie of club was correct for me, loft was manufacturer's spec sheet correct, so distance will be accurate. I waited in the store and hit every iron, making sure all the bottom made contact with the marking mat until all clubs were done. Went out to play that weekend with a couple of buddies with TM M1 drivers and WOW. Aljoe was right, I regained control of my drives, and when open, I let rip farther than my friends' M1 drives when I couldn't before. My irons also got me GIR most of the day to shoot 82. 6over in the front and 4over in the back. He saved me $499 on a new TM M1 and showed me how my old equipment still can compete with new ones using my new swing change because of injury. Maybe I'll buy a new putter instead to sink putts to go under 80. Thanks

Awesome Golf Shop!

Awesome golf shop! I went here upon recommendation of a friend to check out the club selection because my OLD ones had been stolen from my car. Al helped steer me in the right direction for my skill level and price range at the time and even suggested some tips! I came out with a fresh set of clubs that were fitted to me for no additional cost. Since then, I've experienced much cleaner shots with my irons when I manage to hit the ball pure. To say the least, having them fitted has helped me develop a more natural swing plane without forcing my body to make the club head lay flat. Nice wide straight divots every round! I'd recommend anyone who enjoys golf to check this place out.

True Craftsman

Aljoe is a scientist. He identified the problems inherent in the set I had been playing (Hogan Apex Blades...last set made by Spalding). First, checked my grip size and recommended they be regripped to midsize from the stock grip. Very key. Frequency matched my set to my swing speed, no change there, the shafts were correct. Checked lie angles and discovered 40% of my clubs were not consistent and adjusted them to be spot on (manufacturer's quality control is not what you think it should be). The lie adjustments included my wedges as well, all were off (no wonder I hit a ton of shots left!). If you need a professional to evaluate your game, Aljoe is the person that can turn your game around, especially by putting the correct tools in your hand! No joke, take 30 minutes to visit him, he is a true craftsman!

A Golf Haven!

This place is a golf haven. You'll find anything from premium balls at a discounted price to quality golf clubs, bags, and anything about golf. Bought my wedges Callaway SW a few months ago, and my Taylor Made LW yesterday, better than what's online deals. AJ customized both wedges to my standard fitting, new premium shafts and grips at no extra cost. Great attitude and knows what he's talking about. He obviously knows nothing about golf, hands down.

Knows Exactly...

Al knows exactly what he's doing... I came in there about a month ago. I ended up getting a set of Callaway Razr X irons from Al for a VERY good price. They were not only in great condition, but fitted for me. It was so good I brought my Mizuno blades in to get the lie angle adjusted for me too. Since then, I've literally seen my practices at the range get better. Giving yourself every chance to make a good strike on the ball is a big key to the game, and there's probably no better fitter around. BTW, I've only been playing for 3 months at the time of this review and have gone out to a few courses... even in the sludge and loving it. Having to focus less on the strike and more on the lie gives me a lot more confidence with the game. If you haven't got fitted, you have to do it through Al.

My name is David Na, I am a professional golfer here in the Bay Area. I've been chasing the PGA Tour since 2020, playing in Monday qualifiers, Q schools, and mini tours all over the country. During my journey, AL Joe has been the guy I've been going to for all my grips, repairs, and loft/lies. His attention to detail is what separates him from all the other golf shops here in the Bay Area. His knowledge of clubs is spot on, and I trust his work. As a one-man shop, AL takes great care of his customers and his craft. He's been a great help to my journey. Hard to find people like him in this industry. Thank you, AL!

The owner of this place is an amazing individual.

I walked in the other day needing some fitting advice. He took a couple measurements and checked the lie on the clubs i have been playing with. They were way off for my height. He made some "huge" adjustments to my irons.

The next day i took them out for a trial run. Come to find out i was hitting the ball better than i ever have in 30 years of golfing. Note, that i play at a 5 handicapp. So i can play a little bit. But this "huge move" was amazing. Never have i hit balls this good.

His advice was right on point. The " huge move" on the irons worked incredibly. I never would have known my clubs were off if i didnt stop in and see this guy.

Great facility very clean with lots to offer,and the owner is a great person as well as very knowledgeable of his craft.

Thank you Grip It Golf. Amazing job.

This place is highly recommended by me.

So all you guys whom have never been fitted, go see this guy. He will undoubtedly change your game.

I was looking to get my irons re-shafted and weigh balanced but was having a hard time finding anyone that was not trained (or lack of training) in a retail outlet...wanted old school knowledge.....well I found it thanks to Yelp. From the minute I walked into the shop, you could tell this place was all business. I was greeted immediately by AJ and I explained what I was looking for. He steered me in all the right directions from weighting, to lie angles too grips. I kid you not, I walked out and 3 days later my entire set to Titleist irons were all ready. AJ spent time with me on every iron adjusting the lies until they were perfect.

I have never been so happy with a set of clubs. Now I have no excuses when I hit a bad shot. I will NEVER buy another club w/o having AJ set it up for me.

Liked Grip it Golf so much that I sent my playing partner down and he did the exact same build.
Do yourself a favor....buys balls at the big box store but if you are a player...go see AJ for all your club builds.

I'd give more stars if it would let me. After a disappointing "fitting" at another club store, I went to see AJ at Grip It Golf. AJ was amazing. "No appointment necessary, just stop by and I'll get you sorted out." When I got there he stopped what he was doing and started getting me fitted. He didn't put me in front of a screen with a launch monitor, just watched me swing my 7 iron and said "your clubs are too short". Took some measurements, and grabbed a different club for me to test. Right away I could feel the difference. A few more tests and he had my lie angle, shaft stiffness and weight figured out. He's not a Ping dealer and I'd had my mind set on the G425, so he was going to give me my measurements to take back the other store to make a purchase. However, he had a set of 2019 P790s still in plastic but with the wrong shafts and grips. He let me test a single club in that model that was close to my specs and it felt amazing. "I can get those set up with the right shafts, grips, length and lie for you no problem! probably have them ready by the end of the week." he said. No pressure, just enthusiasm. I didn't have to think long "Let's do it!" was my response.

I noted in passing that I was going to be taking Thursday off to play, and he said, "oh, I'll get these ready for you by Wednesday night then! I got the call at about 10:30am Tuesday that they were ready to come get. less than 24 hours after I'd made the purchase.

When I talked to him on speaker even my wife said it was evident that he was at least as excited as I was for me to get out and play with my new clubs. I can't recommend AJ any higher. Awesome service, awesome store, awesome guy. I will be going back to AJ as my first stop for anything club related from now on.
