Ya know, we make up about 15% of the population, but we've many fewer club models to choose from. Shouldn't CNC manufacturing allow a pretty easy morror flip for more clubs?
Oh well, at least we have it easier on those doglegs designed to make it tough on you right-handers.

I know southpaws never like this answer, but Hireko offers as large of a selection of LH components (or larger) than any other company out there. Yes, not every model is made LH, but you have to realize that only 10% of the American population is LH and there is a good percentage of those who actually play with right-handed clubs. The tooling cost is what resticts us from making everything in LH as we have to sell a certain number of units just to pay for the initial tooling. (Clubs made wholly from CNC are only putters.) With only about 7% of potential golfering population to purchase your products, the market is limited. This is why manufacturers only offer their best sellers in a southpaw version.
Look on the bright side - you are not in the market for a left-handed club. We tried that once...
Sincerely,
