Swag Golf Headcovers stole the attention of the attention, but their oppressors started it all

Almost anyone who is in the premium of premium has listened to Shake golf.

The Upsart brand only hit the market in 2018, but thanks to their creative models and limited publication points, the company has grown much larger than the founder and CEO Nick Veson sometimes thought it is possible.

This includes expanding in the design of lids for licensed brands and private clubs, as well as other Swags (target work) such as hats, shirts, pulloons, hoods, blouses and more.

But the essence and original idea of ​​Swag business were not in the head space. They were actually putters who were Venon’s first love.

No one forgets their first love, and Venon wants to bring back in the spotlight by telling people how he makes the “perfect holder”.

How to make a perfect putter

“I really started entering Golf when I was young and was working in the Golf Course and fell in love with Putters,” Venson Golf told a recent interview. “I was a good place for some reason from a very young age and I was obsessed with the idea of ​​connecting to the putter, specifically.”

Venson developed an affinity for Scotty Cameron Putters And he started collecting them and learning how to make money while making them. Long ago he was working for Cameron, directing the second distribution of the high -level and only tour brand after he left the University of Iowa in 2005.

But after three and a half years, Venson moved back to Midwest from California and became acquainted with another legendary manufacturer, Bob Bettinard, in Agoikago. He worked nine years for Bastenards. He was originally a distributor, but ended in the realm of production, doing everything, from design to polishing to painting.

“I was passionate about it and I loved it,” Venson said. “Likes like my favorite thing in the world to do.”

While Venon was working in the industry, the technology continued to improve and both Bettinard and Scotty Cameron had access to it. Venson asked if he could do it better.

“I wanted to make my best version of a putter,” Venson said. “I wanted to carry them from start to finish.”

When you machine a buckle from start to finish – instead of polishing your head to finish – Venson says it removes the human element. In the tournaments, players will often look for a slightly different version of a putter. They want a very delicate tweak, but everything else kept the same.

Even if you are the best metal worker in the world, it can be difficult to get it exactly when you finish your head. But if you use a CNC machine and mill, all the way to the end, Venson says you can eliminate part of the chance.

Taylormade has a similar philosophy to grind the grind of Tiger Woods’ cuffs and wedge So he can believe that they are the same as any new group he receives.

“So I had in my head, ‘hey, I think if I spend a lot of time in the Backend, in solidworks, 3-D modeling and really engineering a perfectly fully machine putter, I can now control every aspect of this,” Venson said. “But I still wanted them to look as if it had been smooth by hand.

“I wanted to have a perfect buckle if you line up 100 of these things in a row, they are identical.”

Behavior of putters from the shadow

It took Venon and two nine months friends to discover a model that fits the bill for a fully elaborate tight. They created a number of extravagant lids to go along with the first release.

They started the Swag Golf in April 2018 with an initial decline that was sold within minutes, and Vesson without products that went 20 times the initial price in the second -hand market.

He quickly realized how popular the overtaking was, especially.

“It started as a strong company, but now it’s definitely a brand,” Venon said. “I knew the head directions would be our bread and butter immediately after I realized how many people were pulled out of them.”

Fed by mostly limited points, the head business exploded, and after two years, the Swag won the EP head manufacturer and began pumping money into that business. The company started with only 16 people and has now grown to over 100 employees.

In a way, especially due to the $ 400 -dollar entrance price point for putters, Venson admits that the company’s business may be gracious.

Swag currently offers five forms of its “essential” models, with “nude” fog tours selling for $ 399 and black patterns finished with PVDs for $ 499. Limited release models also become available on their website and often sell within minutes on the day of fall.

“Many people still think we were a headline first, but the funny thing is that we really started like a Putter company,” he said. “It is still my passion and you know we are trying to make the driving be seen.”

One of the ways they are trying to do this is through exposure to the tournament. Over the years, Swag Putters have collected five combined PGA Tour and LPGA Tour wins. Most importantly, Nick Hardy won the 2023 Zurich classic of New Orleans (joining Davis Riley) with a Swag blade prototype. Hardy was signed as a brand ambassador for Swag a year ago.

Anna Nordqist also won 2021 AIG Women’s Open with the Swag Handsome Too Putter, and the brand recently signed the PGA Tour John player as their newest ambassador. NBC broadcaster Smylie Kaufman joined the brand last year.

Venson also said it will be easier than ever to try a Golf Golf Swag because they will be transported to retail stores this year for the first time.

“I think this will be hopeful of the catalyst what kind of behavior brings to the forefront of what we are doing,” Venson said. “And getting the people who understand, who are looking at what we’re doing as a putter company, not a head company, and understanding what I’m willing to do for them to make them perfect.”
