About
Jeff Sheets
Following
his graduation from the San Diego Golf Academy (now the Golf Academy
of America) in August 1988, Jeff Sheets was recruited to be the
resident shaft expert on the PGA Tour for Brunswick Golf (now known
as Rifle/Royal Precision under the True Temper Company). Throughout
his golfing career he has been focused 100% on equipment and has
fit many of the world's top competitors. Jeff has designed clubs
for major equipment manufacturers, led focus groups with amateurs,
and educated countless up-and-coming club makers.
Sheets has designed,
assembled, and fit clubs used by top competitors to win major championships,
countless tour events and Ryder Cup matches. It is no surprise that
some of his most memorable achievements include the work he has
done with touring professionals. He has worked closely with Nick
Faldo, and rebuilt Faldo’s clubs in the weeks prior to his
back-to-back Masters victories. While Lee Janzen was playing on
the mini tours, Jeff began working on his equipment, eventually
building the set Lee used to win the U.S. Open years later. He has
worked on club head designs with Payne Stewart and Lanny Wadkins,
and shares multiple patents with Lee Trevino. Jeff designed the
set of clubs used by Dave Stockton to win the U.S. Senior Open,
and also designed the woods, irons, and putter used by Chris Johnson
in her LPGA Championship victory. It is also notable that Jeff built
the first metal driver that Arnold Palmer ever put into play in
a PGA Tournament (Arnie opened with a 66 in Palm Springs against
the 'flat bellies' that day in 1992).
Jeff first devoted
his energies to golf club research & development in the early
1990’s - just as the technological boom was hitting the golf
industry. While at Founders Club he created classic player’s
models such as the Tour-CB cavity back forgings, as well as many
game improvement irons and woods. During his time at Spalding, he
oversaw the development of the Top-Flite Tour irons which quickly
became the #1 iron on the Senior PGA Tour. Jeff also orchestrated
the product line of the Hogan re-launch in 1999 via the development
of the Apex and Apex Plus irons and the Special Wedges. His next
calling was at Wilson, where he designed the first generation of
award winning Deep Red woods and irons. Jeff's career came full
circle from his early clubmaking days when he became Golfsmith's
Chief Technical Officer in 2002. He has been responsible for hundreds
of designs under the Snake Eyes, Lynx, Killer Bee, and Golfsmith
brand names during his employment there. With 21 patents, and over
400 club head designs, Jeff Sheets is the most prolific golf club
designer in the industry today.
