Upgrade Clubs

Upgrade Program

New for 2023!

In prior years, customers paid retail freight rates from UPS, FedEx or USPS to return clubs to EPEC for upgrade while EPEC paid freight to return the set. Starting in 2023, EPEC will still pay freight to return clubs to you but we will now extend our steeply discounted rates to upgrade customers to get the clubs to us. That means discounts up to 75% compared to standard retail freight. We will explain more after you submit your upgrade request below.

EPEC is the only upgradeable golf club product on the market today.  This innovation is important for one key reason; instead of replacing EPEC sets every time your young golfer grows, you upgrade at a fraction of the cost.  Going through this cycle a number of times before they transition into adult clubs and the numbers can become significant.  Explained below are the following:

What We Upgrade and Why

Golf professionals universally agree that if a child does grow 3” or more, they should be fit into longer clubs. For most, that’s about 12-18 months.  Four (4) things are upgradeable in an EPEC set; shafts, weights in iron heads, golf bags and metal wood heads. Not every component has to be upgraded every time, except shafts.

The chart below illustrates the stages at which we recommend upgrading certain components. Moving from left to right, each time the bar increases in size, an upgrade of that component is suggested. But as explained in the next section, several of these recommendations are optional.

What Does An Upgrade Cost

The cost of each upgrade activity is shown in the chart below. Shaft upgrades are $15.00 per club and each iron weight we replace is an additional $5.00 charge. So the cost to upgrade a 5 club set can be as little as $75 to replace 5 shafts only. If that 5 club set was moving from a #2 to a #3, we would install new iron weights (2) and the upgrade cost would then be $85.

As shown, bags and metal woods are “optional” upgrades because that’s exactly what they are–optional. When you are forced to buy an entirely new set from all other brands, you have no choice but to replace everything whether it is needed not. Not with EPEC. If your young golfer is hitting their driver great, don’t change the head. Same for fairways and hybrids.

Bags are sized to fit a range of club sizes so there’s no clear cut time when you have to buy a new bag.
