Equipment database

Equipment database

An open, source-attributed database of golf equipment specs. Every field on every record carries its own provenance — where the number came from, when it was observed, and whether it has been independently verified. 281 records across 10 categories, 7,193 sourced field entries.


Clubs

One record per model line; variants (lofts, configurations, per-iron specs, grinds) embedded under the parent.

Shafts

One record per shaft family; weight classes (Ventus Black 5/6/7/8, Dynamic Gold R300–X300) as variants under the parent.

About this database

Per-field provenance. Specs aren’t trusted at the record level — each field carries its own source attribution (OEM-published, OEM spec sheet, lab test, community measurement, community consensus) and verification state. A record can have a verified loft and a pending swing weight at the same time, and the UI shows you exactly which is which.

Parent-club methodology. One record per model line, with variants embedded: a driver parent carries its lofts, an iron set carries per-iron specs for every position, a wedge carries every (loft, bounce, grind) configuration, a shaft family carries its weight classes. Sibling lines (P770 / P790 / P7MC) are separate parents, cross-linked.

Standardisation layers. Where OEM language isn’t comparable across brands, the schema adds a structured layer: wedge grinds get ordinal sole/relief/camber characterisation plus cross-OEM equivalence links; putters get the hosel → toe hang → stroke arc fit chain.

Contribution. Seeded records start as pending and flip to verified against confirmed OEM citations — several record tables are already verified this way.
