Buying Guide
We make custom divot repair tools in five metals: zinc alloy, brass, stainless steel, iron and aluminium. The material changes the weight in the hand, the shapes that are possible and how your logo is added. This guide helps you choose, and we confirm the final construction on your proof.
The five materials at a glance
| Material | Often chosen for |
|---|---|
| Zinc alloy | Custom shapes, 3D relief and enamel colour; the most flexible choice |
| Brass | A heavier, premium feel for club and member gifts |
| Stainless steel | A slim, clean tool |
| Iron | Simple flat designs |
| Aluminium | A light tool, easy to carry |
The logo method (relief, enamel, print, epoxy dome or engraving) depends on the material and design, and is confirmed on your proof.
When zinc alloy is the right call
Choose zinc alloy when the tool follows your logo outline or has raised detail. It is die-cast in our own workshops, then enamelled, plated and packed. It also pairs with a removable magnetic ball marker.
When to choose brass, stainless steel, iron or aluminium
Brass for weight and a premium gift. Stainless steel for a slim tool. Iron for simple flat shapes. Aluminium when a light tool matters. Tell us how the tool will be used, and we will recommend the material and confirm it on the proof.
Magnetic ball marker pairing
If the divot tool will hold a removable ball marker, send the marker diameter and thickness, or the marker itself. We check the fit on the sample before production.
What to send for a quote
Logo or artwork, preferred material (or "not sure"), size, quantity per design, finish, marker pairing, packaging and the date you need the goods. See Artwork Requirements for Metal Golf Accessories.
