Here we will introduce the manufacturing process for Zodia's signature product, the soft iron forged club head.
Forged Soft Iron Heads
After rough hammering, burrs are removed and the finishing hammering is done again.
The Club Number is Stamped on the sole.
Weight Adjustment
Smooth processing by NC
The face surface, which has been ground with a grinder, is then made even more precisely flat using an NC processing machine.
Score Line Stamp
Score lines of uniform thickness and width are stamped onto the face, which has been smoothed by machining.
Loft and Lie Angle Adjustment
Normally, this is done by bending the string, but at Zodia, Chiba adjusts it by hammering, which allows for fine adjustments to the natural curve.
CNC Processing
The back face design is created using 3D processing.
Engraving
Polishing
Chiba's bold and delicate techniques are used to create the Zodia head.
Completed
The clubs are then painted and inspected for a final finish before being completed. In this way, Chiba personally handles many of the processes and takes a long time to create the clubs, ensuring a quality that cannot be replicated by mass-produced products.
