Update for 3/2024: Great fitting experience for a hybrid with George Huff, no small feat since I've never met a hybrid I liked. I've been hitting with an old callaway ladies hybrid with a recoil es L-flex 52g shaft, and I ended up fitting to a titleist TSR2 hybrid with tensei av blue R-flex 66g shaft. George advised I needed heavier swingweights and heavier shafts with less flex, and he was right (I've done a lot of lead taping and shaft swapping since my fitting)...lighter is not necessarily faster or better even for slower swing speeds, and the difference is huge (I get 10 yards more and consistent 1.45 smash out of my new hybrid, my old one I tended to heel and thin). He asks and listens to you about what you're looking for in the club, and he's good at matching you up with clubs that might fit well even if you've never considered them before. George is friendly and patient and knows his stuff. Great fitting experience, highly recommend!

Older review, few years ago: Bought a set of Mizuno JPX 900 Hot Metals from Mr. Kim, who was professional, courteous, and patient/pressure-free every time I dropped by. Very few shaft options out there for female beginners so the fitting was abbreviated by default, but Mr. Kim was thorough with the process, and I got the impression that he really wanted me to be satisfied with the clubs. Didn't try to upsell me at all and even advised taking one of the three wedges out of the standard set (he was probably right, esp. for my skill level, but instead I bought all 4 wedges for the sake of completeness). Pricing was fair and standard, same price as on the Mizuno website and big retailers. As a side note, the clubs are awesome (and darn good looking too)...I was hitting with my dad's steel shafted irons before, and I gained roughly 20-30 yards with these ladies flex graphite mizunos (project x lz 3.5). Feedback is great...pure strikes feel and sound wonderful, but mishits still fly pretty far. Much thanks to Mr Kim for selling me a wonderful iron set, will definitely go back to this business for...

It’s been a while since I’ve even held a golf club in my hand but I’ve decided to pick up golf again this spring. My golf clubs are hand-me-down stuff from other family members so I’ve been thinking about getting new clubs.

I’ve heard about this place from one of my friends who’s into golf. My friend seemed to think that she gets more personal services here, unlike big chains. So I paid a visit to see if they have anything for me….at good price, of course.

I was pleasantly surprised at how patient they were with me. I’m definitely a beginner golfer so I don’t know much about golf. They gave me some specific tips for women golfers like what kind of clubs to use, what kind of balls to use, and etc.

When I left, I felt like I just got a mini golf lesson for free. I also got a brand new golf club set. Price was good and service was even better in my opinion. I’m not necessarily a big fan of using small business retail shops but in this case, I have to say I left the shop as a very...

BEST GOLF SHOP IN NOVA!

Mr. Kim and George Huff run the best golf shop in Northern Virginia, especially for custom fittings/work. Over the past year, they have built several quality sets for me. Not only do they offer just about every golf brand, including hard to find Epon, Miura, and other JDM irons, they also have an extensive offering of shafts. Plus they are expert club fitters with an impressive demo selection. I spent more than 4 hours over a couple days working on finding the right head/shaft combination to play my best - Mr. Kim even gave me some pointers that easily gave me 10-15 yards more from my swing. I believe they use a foresight monitor in fitting.

Friendly, extremely knowledgeable about golf equipment and the game, both Mr. Kim and George deliver personalized customer service that can't be beat. I highly recommend them to anyone who is serious...
