Is it possible to get a list of active places to purchase components and possibly also a list of active component companies (SMT, Alpha, Integra, etc)? I fe...

There is also one called www.componentsplus.com. Components Plus is a small component company
in Ottawa Lake, Michigan. They handle mostly Hireko products, but they are also a Ping dealer. Prices
are a bit higher than Hireko or Value Golf. I drop by there when I play a golf course in SE Michigan,
or when I'm in a pinch for a particular item that I need same day, I can drive up there and back in about
an hour.

Believe it or not, Talamonti is still distributing their remaining stock in shafts through their website. I had correspondence with Phil at the end of last year and he confirmed it was legit.

I wish I would have just ordered one HL and one LS and I could have been done chasing every shaft known to man, lol.

Par4QC Alpha is still good to go. But pricey as hell!

They make good products though. I have a set of Alpha Response irons that I really like a lot. As far as
prices, Golfworks has passed them now as "priciest" IMO. Their TS-1 and TS-2 are $50 bucks per head!!
Just my opinion of course.

I'd bet that Alpha VX iron head costs at least $60. I'd also bet the Wishon 771 is about $50/head. I think GW is probably about average these days.

Dunno.....I don't have an account, and they don't show prices on their website. I bought my Alpha
heads from Cutter66 here on GolfBuzz, so maybe he might know actual prices....

They’re out of several heads right now. Not sure where they’re heading as a company, where heads are concerned?

Spuzz I reference clubmaker online all the time for older stuff when I need info, good to know there's an updated site to boot. With Limeys no less!

It's practically cheaper to buy used OEM stuff and go "they're all components to me" route.

I wonder how long they'll last before they adopt the Golfworks business model.

While I liked Swing Science, I am a bit surprised they have survived as there are not that many certified, qualified, etc. clubmakers left in the business and those few left are not doing much volume.

Been that way forever I don't see it changing.

We'll see.

Swing Science has not rolled out a new iron head in forever...

IMO....Wishon, Swing Science, Alpha are not looking to be the cheapest or newest they exist fine. The average G'Buzzer is not their market. If it ain't broke. 😊

scotts33 Thinking like that worked out great for Sears and Roebuck...

They’re not looking to sell to the $12 shipped customer 😂

sdandrea1 We'll see.

All 3 have been around longer than many that have sifted out. Alpha and Swing Science small family owned can weather more than the large profit tied entities.

How long has the 919THI been out? It stills sells well.

I don't doubt they'll last. As long as they can adapt, shrink, expand to the market, they'll be fine. Competing with the OEM brainwashing machine can't be easy tho. It's a small niche, but they know how to evolve. Time will tell.
