One Christmas gift exposed a problem golfers face every day: too much information, and not enough clarity.

BUILT FROM A SEARCH FOR CLARITY.

Two golfers turned one unanswered question into a new way to understand the shaft.

THE QUESTION

THE EMPTY GIFT BOX.

Andrew began playing golf with his father in 2012. By 2024, he had reached amateur single-digit level and wanted to choose Bruce a Christmas shaft. Every label offered numbers, but none explained what the player should improve.

The market did not need more numbers. It needed a clearer answer.

THE DECISION

FROM FINANCE TO THE FAIRWAY.

In 2025, Andrew left finance. Bruce joined as an equal cofounder, bringing years of player conversations and on-course judgment. Together, they built BLACK IMPACT around honest explanations and better choices.
