Donn Levine. 2007 Stanford Club Champion. Lowest Butler Irons round-to-date - 64

Hi guys;
Just wanted to share with all of you my new career low round at Stanford. Playing with 2 members and Sara, I birdied 5 holes in a row (9 thru 13) shooting 33-31=64. I only missed 2 fairways and 2 greens and it was amazing how many birdie putts I had within 10 feet.
Take lessons from Matt and get some Butler irons, then get in the zone and let it fly!
Regards to all,

If you would like to talk to Donn about his record setting round, call him at 650-593-1027.

Hi David.

I want to thank you for the club fitting you did for me. The new clubs are great. After having played in the Masters in 74 and winning numerous Nor Cal Amateur events I finally have been fitted properly. Thanks and good luck,

Tom Culligan

Hi Dave,

    I wanted to reach out to you now that I have a few rounds under the belt with the new Miura clubs. I have to say, they really are fantastic. The irons are totally sweet and I feel like I can hit them with  absolute confidence. I also particularly enjoy the hybrid and driver. I know we had some issues in with the launch monitor when it came to testing the driver, but in the real world I am playing really really well with it.  On well struck hits, I am getting almost 10-20 yards more distance than normal (which I didn't think was possible). This means on my home course, I am playing second shots from places on the fairway I am, until now, unfamiliar with! Thanks again for the great set of Miura's and I look forward to catching up with you next time I am back in the Bay area.

    Best regards,

    Wai-Hoong Fock

Dear Dr. Grip,

Thank you so much for your tireless effort during our fitting session and follow up session. The result is a set of irons that feel so great and perform better than anything I have hit before. I hit the irons about 1 club further than my prior set without any change in lofts. The lighter shafts and weighting of the clubheads feel awsome!

The wedges are unbelievable as well. The control and spin are incredible. I just love them!! In addition, the hybrids are really something special. They are so easy to hit straight!!! And they are very long!!

It is such a joy to go out and play with this set of clubs. If there is anyone I know that needs clubs, I will certainly be sending them to you!!!!

Thank you again for the great set of clubs and the education I received during the process as well!! I really appreciate all the care that you put into my set of clubs and all the care that I believe that you put into every set of clubs you put together!!!

Sincerely,

Jim Reed MD

"I'm in the golf business and have had the chance to play clubs from all the major manufacturers. I've been through several fitting programs as well. Although I have no complaints about any of those experiences, my Butler Irons have performed the best for me without question.

David Butler brings a unique engineering background and inherent intellectual curiosity to bear in his custom fitting process. His highly personal approach doesn't lend itself to a mass process.

I have no reservations recommending David's custom-fitted clubs for anyone seeking the best performance available."

  David, aka Doctor Grip.
We did the irons, we did the wedges, and we did the driver. Everthing was perfect, except the driver. The first set of numbers generated on the computer simply did not convert to the golf course.
Doctor Grip took the driver apart and put it back together based on the second set of numbers from the read outs. Eureka!
Quote from my Sunday foursome: "Wow!'

Doc--

You'll be pleased to know that Matt and I won our flight in the tournament this past weekend. The clubs felt great! Loved my ball flight when I put a good swing on the ball.

My swing still needs a lot of work but I haven't been this enthusiastic about the potential for a big improvement in my game in a long time.

I think I'd like to talk about getting fitted with a putter when I see you next.

Please let me know if I can be of help in the way of references, etc.

Hope your tournament went well.

Jack

  Before meeting up with David Butler, my game was out of control. Since he hooked me up with a new set of custom irons and woods, I've enjoyed the best rounds of my life. The clubs feel like a part of me and I'm finally in control of the golf ball...almost. Dr. Grip's clubs have made a huge impact and I highly recommend his service.
Thanks David!!

  I have played “solidly” for 40 years and as an inveterate golf freak, have been “fitted” many times-but never, never correctly. For the first time, I know for sure where a solid strike will go. My irons are a bit longer but more important the dispersion is far, far less. This is the first and only driver I will pull out for “tight” holes. So, thanks for the first “right” set of clubs for me and for all the time we put in together to get it “right”.

  Dear Dr. Grip,
I wanted to send you quick note expressing my appreciation to you for your fine work constructing my custom set of Mizuno golf clubs and the work you did tuning my driver and five metal. This all started when we discovered that the off the shelf set of Titleist irons I had been playing for quite some time were actually an entire inch longer than standard. Given my modest height, it remains a mystery how I could have hit them at all - no doubt I was engaged in some serious in flight swing corrections which partially helped explain my inconsistent performance.
In addition, I had become increasingly frustrated with my handicap trend which continued to move up. I attributed this to lack of practice, lack of play and the inevitable loss of yardage due to age. I had no idea that having a set of clubs build to optimize my swing would make such a difference. In retrospect, it seems so obvious.
Honestly I had been rather skeptical about all this talk about swing speeds, spine alignment, lie, shaft stiffness etc. However, the ultimate proof that this stuff works is in the results. I am including in this email my handicap trend over the last year. Interestingly, this trend line corresponds almost directly to when we switched out the old unfitted, mismatched, off the shelf set for the set you built for me.
Thanks very much for your time, energy and dedication to ensuring that I now have a set of golf clubs that work for me rather than haphazardly against me!
