About the Golf Equipment Database

A free, open, community-maintained database that helps any golfer understand their equipment completely — no gate, no signup, no bias.


What this is

A spec-by-spec reference for golf equipment — drivers, shafts, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putters. Every field carries its own source and a verification state, so you can see not just what a number is but where it came from and how confident we are in it. Everything is visible on the page. Nothing is held back, blurred, or saved for a signup.

Who runs it, and how it stays free

The Golf Equipment Database is operated by GolferX, Inc. and maintained with the support of clubfit.golf, GolferX's golf-club fitting platform. That platform is free to use too; it earns its keep through affiliate links when it helps a golfer find gear, and a share of that supports this database. We'd rather tell you that plainly — an open relationship is something to be straightforward about, not to tuck away.

The support flows one way, and it does one thing: it keeps the database free. This database itself carries no affiliate links and earns nothing — nothing here is ranked, worded, or weighted to sell you a product. A golfer who finds everything they need on this page and never clicks any further is exactly what we're here for.

Open data

All data here is openly licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 — free to use, adapt, and share, including commercially, as long as you credit it and keep your version open. That “keep it open” condition is deliberate: it means the community's work can never be enclosed in a closed product. The data is genuinely reusable by anyone — including us, on the same terms as everyone else.

How the data gets in — and gets checked

Records start from an expert-curated catalog and improve through community contributions. Anyone can sign in and suggest an edit — correct a spec, add a source, or flag a problem. Submissions publish immediately, marked unreviewed, and earn a verified badge once their citation is confirmed by a maintainer. The contribution log is permanent and append-only, so corrections and reversions stay on the record. The rules everyone plays by are public, in the contributor terms.
