Hi Frank,

I was able to get out to the range and hit these irons. Wow. First of all, one guy immediately asked where I got the ferrules so of course those were a great aesthetic. Second of all, they felt so so solid. Could … Continue reading »

When I want new irons, I fly from Dallas for a business meeting near Boston to see Frank. Yes,
even during a pandemic. I brought some stock Mizuno 919 Forged in an 80g shaft and HM Pros
in stock Recoil 95 to compare.

Arriving at Frank’s studio, we discussed … Continue reading »

I listened to my golf gear head friends for years and bought all kinds of different new and used clubs over the years. The results were very mixed while the expense continued to add up. After a particularly frustrating round, I finally decided enough was enough and booked a fitting for a full bag with Frank.

Frank’s professionalism and experience are instantly apparent. … Continue reading »

Hi Frank,

My Rogue Clubs are performing better than advertised. My iron play
has never been better.

I got my First eagle ever last Wednesday at Sagamore Springs 7Th Hole
hitting a 9 iron from 120 yards out. I’m enjoying myself this summer.

Have Taylor Made M1 driver that I want to get re-shafted with an
Accra FX 2.0 100 series with a senior Golf Shaft … Continue reading »

Hi Frank:

I wanted to share two accomplishments with you that I have achieved due to my new clubs provided by Ace of Clubs.

1) I broke 80 for the first time of my life (I never thought I would do that to be honest), as I shot 36, 42 for a 78 @ Spring Valley CC in Sharon this past Saturday.

2) My handicap is now … Continue reading »

“I had Frank fit me with irons a couple of years ago with the Taylor Made M2’s. Great experience, very thorough, really tightened the shot pattern and accuracy from my old clubs and dropped about 6 strokes off my handicap. I have been struggling a bit with my driver fading and wanted to try to get something to straighten things out a bit, so … Continue reading »

Hi Frank, I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying my new PXG irons and hybrid. My divots are consistent and in all likelihood do not need any further adjustment. My biggest issue is getting use to how much father the irons are playing!  The 19 degree hybrid is going on average 220 yards and has made a huge impact on my … Continue reading »

"Frank does a great job fitting you for what you need and not pushing you to over spend. I have been there twice now, once for irons and another for woods/hybrids and he does not rush the fitting and spends as much time as possible. The technology he uses for the fitting is the best I have seen at any fitting location. He is … Continue reading »

Hi Frank, "Played today and drove the ball like I use to 10 years ago!  The 39g Grand Bassara shaft / M1 combo is awesome. I'm loving the game again! Thanks for your help as I wouldn't be in this position without you!" Thanks, Rick

"Golf is one of those sports where if you want to advance your game, the right clubs can make all the difference. Being a low handicap player, my clubs are something I rely on to perform each and every swing. Therefore, the days of buying clubs off the shelf without knowing any of my statistics is over and I wanted to find the best … Continue reading »

Hi Frank, "Just absolutely loving my PXG Irons & Wedges you built for me!  I wanted to hold off purposely in writing this review until I got a solid 2 months of play with them.  They're everything you said that they would be and more!  Easily 2 clubs longer than my previous set and a feel like I've never experienced before. Aside from the performance and … Continue reading »

"Texans claim to do everything “big,” but in 20 years I haven’t seen the craftsmanship in club fitting and build. When investing time and money in your game, you want great results. Hopping on a nonstop from Dallas to Boston, I hoped to find greatness in Frank Viola. Frank is no nonsense, friendly, honest, and competent - one would say he is a perfectionist. He … Continue reading »

“During the spring, I went to Frank to get fitted for my driver.  He fitted my old driver against a number of newer ones, trying my original shaft, stock new shafts, lighter shafts, and shorter shafts.  The fitting was very thorough but throughout the results were easily understandable. Ended up with an M1 driver, and M2 5 wood, with shortened, lightweight shafts.  Consistency of … Continue reading »

"I've just returned from my second fitting with Frank. A month ago or so I received my custom fitted TaylorMade M2 irons. I'm a tall fellow so my sticks are 2 1/2" longer and 5 degrees more upright. I am now hitting my irons 20+ yards longer and the ball flies true. I was using a shorter man's clubs for 25 years.... My second fitting, today, … Continue reading »

"I recently purchased a set of PXG irons that were custom fitted by Frank Viola of Ace of Clubs and I can tell you that this man is a professional who pays attention to detail throughout the process. He informs you right from the start how long it takes  and during that period I communicated with him more than a few times and he … Continue reading »

"Golf is a hard enough game without questioning if the equipment you are using is correct for your swing. I have been traveling to see Frank for over six years and every club I have been fitted for has increased my confidence in that part of the game exponentially. There is peace of mind in knowing that the shot you are about to hit … Continue reading »

Frank, I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed my fitting experience a week ago. I could not be happier with how much time you took explaining the process, and never once pressuring me into purchasing something that wasn't right for me and my swing. I anxiously await my new Callaway Apex Irons and Hybrids. Having the right … Continue reading »

"After having mixed results from fittings with different outfits, including a couple manufacturer "tour experiences" and a national chain, I was convinced that Frank at Ace of Cubs is the man to see in New England. I was not disappointed! Frank spent hours matching my swing with the proper shaft and specs. Not only did I get an education on equipment, I gained 10-12 … Continue reading »

“I’ve ordered several custom clubs from Frank. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of the clubs is always top notch - specs are always spot-on. Above that, Frank always takes the time to answer questions and provide insights that make the club buying experience a joy. I always count on Frank to deliver quality products when I make a purchase.”

"I have been working with Frank for the last 5 years. He has built Miuras, PXGs, and numerous other sets.  He is flat out the best club builder I know.  Also, please note I live out in California and don't even try out the clubs till he sends them over to me. Straight out the box and to the golf course, all the clubs … Continue reading »

"Frank, wanted to send a brief note letting you know how happy I am with the new clubs you recently made for me.  Just returned from Florida and (even though I’m 53) had some of my best ball striking rounds ever.  The new PXG irons are the best irons I’ve ever hit, long & straight, wedges are incredible – deadly accurate.  The custom Taylor … Continue reading »

"Dear Frank,  I am delighted that my son, David, thought to introduce me to you when I mentioned to him that I was interested in some new clubs. The notion of custom fitting had never occurred to me, and David convinced me that it would certainly be worth my while and that you were definitely the best possible professional with whom to consult.

"Two weeks into this M1 driver and I’m still in awe.  The feel, the look at address, the sound, the accuracy and distance have all exceeded my wildest expectations! The new Kyoshi HB shaft really compliments this club head nicely.  Also, wanted to thank you so much for the extra time you spent with me, it was greatly appreciated!  Our golf season up here … Continue reading »

I just recently purchased my third set of clubs from Frank, a PXG driver, hybrid, a full set of irons, and three wedges. Upon arriving for my PXG fitting, he had already narrowed down shaft and grip combinations to try with the PXG heads installed based on my prior fittings. We started with ten combinations and over the period of two hours selected custom … Continue reading »

"Like many golfers, I'm passionate about the game, even though I'm not nearly as good at it as I wish I was.  So when a friend suggested that I get a professional fitting before buying new clubs, my first reaction was that my handicap (20) wasn't low enough to deserve that.  Turns out I was dead wrong.
I found Frank by searching the internet for … Continue reading »

"Frank, I wanted to take a moment to email and thank you so much for all of your help. You are a true professional and it's easily understood why you were named one of the Top 100 Club Fitters in North America. I absolutely love the Parsons Xtreme equipment that you fit me for,  they are truly spectacular. In the last few weeks I've … Continue reading »

"Good Morning Frank, well they arrived at 5PM on a special delivery truck and the box and the clubs went right to the range.  Beautiful clubs and soft as butter, took a couple of swings with my SW and pulled the 7 iron from the bag and spanked it. I hit about 20 shots with that 7 iron and you could throw … Continue reading »

"Frank, the driver arrived Wed and I went to the range and put it in play on Thursday. Another great build and the driver performed well. Might be a bit longer on center hits but where it really shines is on off center hits. My "misses" are much better and playable. :).  I've always felt that a huge part of scoring is to minimize … Continue reading »

"You are amazing. The Bettinardi Inovai Counterbalanced Putter took all of the jerky motion out of my stroke!  The added 2.0 SuperStroke Grip and the proper counterbalance weight made an awesome feeling putter even better!  Shot 1 over in my 9 hole mens league tonight to win $140!! No three putts. Couple of nice putts to save par.  Amazing how … Continue reading »

“I don't think that there are enough words to describe the experience I've had with Frank the last few years as my club fitter. As a self admitted club ho, I change equipment about as often as my son changes his diapers. Throughout this process, I have relied heavily on Frank's guidance on fitting and equipment.

“Played my first round with my new R11s, RBZ Tour 3 Wood & 501 Miura's yesterday. Shot 80 at Blackstone (pretty tight and difficult course) with 5 or 6 putts that could have dropped, 3 flubbed chips, and 2 wrong club selections while getting adjusted to my new distances. Best I've ever played tee-to-green. My misses were so much tighter than I'm used to it … Continue reading »

“I want to thank you for the new set of custom Miura irons and Exotics woods. They are the best feel, performance and quality clubs I have ever experienced. The only thing better than hitting the 5 iron 5 feet from a stick, 185 yards away, is knowing the clubs were made by you.”

“I wanted to thank you again for the Retro RBZ 3 wood that you built me. I really appreciated the time that you took with me to understand my needs and determine the best shaft for the club, as well as what head would be the best.

“Even with use of scientific data collection methods, club fitting kind of remains both science and art.

“Coming from the Dallas area, I found that it was difficult to find a reputable clubfitter who gave me the truth about my swing and would present me with options that would improve my game.

“After working with Frank, my ball striking has gotten unbelievably more consistent and powerful. With my old clubs, I averaged 10 greens in regulation each round, now, I average over 14. I used to hit 9 iron 130 and now I hit it 155. I consider my distance a strength and a weapon now. The Miura forged iron options that Frank has ready to hit … Continue reading »

“I went to the range both days this weekend to put the new sticks through the ringer and I'm in love! I'm absolutely killing the driver and the irons are ridiculously consistent.
