I play most of my golf with original hickory shafted clubs. My go-to 'modern' set are 1971 Spalding Top Flite irons, soft forged irons with remarkable feel and feedback, made in Chicopee MA. These are real sweethearts. Try 'em!
@@rockrugbyrefI'll have to look into that. All the info on them that I found in the past says they are completely made in the u.s., not just assembled. Thanks for the info.
Sub70 club heads are forged somewhere in Asia but assembled in Illinois. That's what I was told by Sub70 when I asked. Edit: I've purchased 2 sets of their forged blades. Sub70 has amazing products and customer service!!
Mike is back for a slice and a put to a chilly hole this early November! A What a time to talk about golf bags haha! Tis no longer spring bur it's always a good time to talk about American made products! Perhaps jackets, coats, and winter weather related items for upcoming videos? Thanks as always!
There is no company manufacturing iron heads or metalwood heads in the USA. The last company to actual make iron heads in the USA was Ping. Almost all golf club heads are made in SE Asia. Many of the companies will assemble the clubs in the US or Mexico.
Unless something has changed very recently the heads of all the “Irons” by these brands are made overseas, but the rest of production is here in USA. The only company I know of right now making the Heads of Drivers is Louisville, but their “Irons” are imported as I alluded to above. As another viewer commented Tour Edge Makes/Assembles their better clubs in IL, USA I don’t know of anyone currently making “Iron Heads” the USA, & only Louisville is making “Driver Heads” in the USA. Ping does make some “irons” for certain situations, but you can’t just go buy them…? There was a company a few years ago that made very limited production custom clubs 100% in the USA, but I can’t remember the name.
I agree, apart from some putter companies who mill all their heads in the USA, everyone else sources their irons, woods and hybrid heads from predominantly China and Vietnam.
@@madeinusaHis information is spot on….it has been over 20 years since any golf club company manufactured their product here in the USA. There is some iron prototype work done by the large golf companies in the US but these are for testing or Tour Players only. Your video is highly inaccurate and misleading.
My Ping Eye2s from the 80s were made in USA in Phoenix AZ. Some years ago I decided to update and purchased G10 irons. I was real disappointed when I unwrapped them to find the shafts were made in China.
What about LA Golf? I think they focus on shafts and putters. My thought was LA stands for Los Angeles. That would make it American. To my knowledge Bryson plays (or played) with a LA Golf putter. I once found 2 complete sets of irons and woods and bags (one men, one ladies) from LA Golf in a thrift store, so they do (or did) make complete sets.
Unfortunately no in the case of a lot of these golf clubs. We have complete breakdowns of assembly vs. material sourcing in our written research on AllAmerican.org.
Titleist has a huge factory in California for irons and wedges. You only mentioned their golf balls. How did you miss this and what else do you miss in your information given?
I thought LAB golf was based in California, am I wrong? FYI, New Level Golf is based in Scottsdale AZ and they are also DTC. I have some sets, pretty good irons.
Sub 70 clubs are not made in the USA. The heads are made in Asia. They are assembled in the USA, not unlike Taylor Made, Titleist, Callaway, etc. I have them and they are great, but they aren't made here. I'm also suspect about Bettinardi irons. Their putters are milled in the USA, but I'll bet the irons are made in Asia.
All of these companies slapping the heads on the shafts “assembled in usa” are getting components from Asia. For non niche old school and wooden clubs it seems only putters are milled here now. True temper makes their steel shafts here and penley/ la golf make graphite shafts in America. Haven’t tried a la shaft yet but I play true tempers and penleys.
A little misleading I'd say, put together here with components coming from overseas I p[ersonally don't consider Made In America per say ? Maybe I'm off base, but some of those you mentioned here receive there components from China and or Japan and are only put together here ???
Hey Andy, thanks for the comment. You're right - a lot of these companies are sourcing raw materials from overseas - we couldn't find virtually any that are 100% sourced and manufactured here. Those stipulations are included in our written research on AllAmerican.org - oversight on my part during the editing process for this video when I was talking about it being tough finding golf clubs made here.
Thanks for the constructive comment! These are just a few recommendations. We have more research on AllAmerican.org and are constantly doing more investigating to add to our findings.

Why though?
Callaway is still making Balls in that old Spalding Factory on Meadow St in Chicopee!
Tour Edge clubs are made in Illinois also
They are assembled in Illinois, not made in Illinois.
Umm, yeah. How do you leave Tour Edge off the list?? They are a major US club manufacturer.

Hey Mike thanks for all the videos. They are really informative. Any chance of a made in USA golf club bags video?
We will work on one!
Pretty sure sun mountains are made in the US
Steurer and jacoby makes the best bags in the business
Just found your video and I like it thanks 🙏
Love my 3 sets of sub 70 golf clubs, they are the best
SeeMore putters, milled in Cali and assembled in Tennessee

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Love the detail and we'll follow up with more research on the site for Tour Edge and others.

Ping, PXG, Tour Edge and Sub 70 are doable, the rest are way to expensive.
My Ping Eye2s from the 80s were made in USA in Phoenix AZ. Some years ago I decided to update and purchased G10 irons. I was real disappointed when I unwrapped them to find the shafts were made in China.
I bought Ping G730 irons and the shafts were labelled made in Bangladesh and Heads in Viet Nam.
I just purchased a Scotty Cameron, North Port 2, super select. Unfortunately the head cover is made in Vietnam.
What about LA Golf? I think they focus on shafts and putters. My thought was LA stands for Los Angeles. That would make it American. To my knowledge Bryson plays (or played) with a LA Golf putter. I once found 2 complete sets of irons and woods and bags (one men, one ladies) from LA Golf in a thrift store, so they do (or did) make complete sets.
Primarily a shaft maker.
Well as far as any information to actually help making a decision based on how golf clubs work that's 6min I can't get back.
When you said made, does that include the components also?
Unfortunately no in the case of a lot of these golf clubs. We have complete breakdowns of assembly vs. material sourcing in our written research on AllAmerican.org.
Titleist has a huge factory in California for irons and wedges. You only mentioned their golf balls. How did you miss this and what else do you miss in your information given?
What about Ping and Wilson?
Ping heads are no longer cast in the USA. Wilson heads are made in China and Vietnam.
I thought LAB golf was based in California, am I wrong? FYI, New Level Golf is based in Scottsdale AZ and they are also DTC. I have some sets, pretty good irons.
They are, he even states in the video that they're in Carlsbad, CA
Last I heard, Ruger was doing the casting and forging for Callaway. Not so anymore?
Not since the original Great Big Bertha in the 1990’s
What about PXG?
Assembled in US not manufactured in US.
Detroit putter co
Japan manufactures great clubs, especially irons. China manufactures everything
What about GigaGolf.... made in USA ?
Sub 70 clubs are not made in the USA. The heads are made in Asia.

We definitely had a tough time finding any manufacturers that are 100% made and sourced domestically. Thanks for the comment

True temper makes their steel shafts here and penley/ la golf make graphite shafts in America. Haven’t tried a la shaft yet but I play true tempers and penleys.
Great callouts. Yes, unfortunately a lot are sourcing raw materials from overseas. Going to check out True Temper and Penley.
Nice video you did no research to make this. Quit youtube
Glad you liked the video! We do a lot of research every day which we publish on AllAmerican.org. Appreciate the encouragement.
