In November 1988 Mitchell® Golf introduced its original STEELCLUB® Angle Machine at the first PGA Teaching Summit in Dallas, Texas. It was well received by everyone, including Golf Professional Terry Adcock from Surfer's Paradise, Queensland, Australia. Terry purchased a STEELCLUB® Angle Machine and took it home in his suitcase.
Since then, improvements to the STEELCLUB® Angle Machines have been made to accommodate the evolution in club head designs. First, the STEELCLUB® Woods and Irons Angle Machine was introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in January 1990. The ability of the STEELCLUB® Woods and Irons Angle Machine to measure and bend both irons and metal woods became an instant success.
In 1991, a patented Putter Fitting System was introduced. The STEELCLUB® Putter Angle Machine, with the patented Putter Fitting Gauge, provided for the first time a means to fit a golfer with their "ideal" loft and lie angles and then adjust their putter to match those angles.
In 1995, the STEELCLUB® Irons Angle Machine made its debut. It is designed as a high production irons machine. It has become widely accepted by those only interested in adjusting irons.
In 1999, the new STEELCLUB® Plus Angle Machine made its debut. Another first, this machine has the ability to "do it all". It is designed to measure and bend irons, metal woods, hybrids and putters. In 2004, it was modified to accept 470cc metal woods. Then in 2006, it was modified to measure and bend hybrid utility clubs. With the optional Putter Kit putters with or without hosels can be accurately measured and adjusted to fit golfers.
In 2001, the industry's first ever bounce gauge was introduced by Mitchell® Golf. The STEELCLUB® Bounce Gauge accurately measures bounce, loft and lie angles of irons, woods and putters. Bounce angles can be verified and compared on different clubs. This handy tool also accurately measures loft of metal woods.
In 2002 Mitchell® Golf introduced the industry's best dust collection system, the Club Repair BenchVac™. The patented design is available in different models to take care of shaft dust problems in repair workshops.
In 2003 and 2004 the TourGauge® series of machines for putters and irons were introduced. This innovative design rapidly became a new industry standard for Loft/Lie machines. The TourGauge® Swing Weight Scale is the golf industry’s only CNC Milled scale. It is the industry standard for accuracy and ease of use.
In 2005 a line of Mitchell® Studio Fit Putters were introduced. The putters are CNC Milled to exacting specifications in three different head weights and offered in lengths of ½ inch increments from 33" to 35" to fit every golfer to a correctly balanced putter.
In 2008 Mitchell® Golf re-invented the industry standard for bending machines by introducing the new STEELCLUB® Signature Angle Machine. This machine uses Dual Precision Gauges for measuring loft/lie angles on irons and face/lie angles on hybrids and metal woods. It doubles as a specification gauge that accurately measures loft, lie and face angles simultaneously. The gauges travel on precision-ground slide bearings. The base features a Black Diamond Powder-coat finish.
Mitchell® Golf Equipment Company continues to set the standard in measuring and bending golf club equipment for the entire golf industry worldwide. This is evident with 23 straight years that STEELCLUB® Angle Machines have been number one in tour vans on all PGA & LPGA tours.
