Pat,  I spoke to him today and he said it was every club in his set was playing 15yrds. less. He is going to bring in his sets on next Tuesday so I can run some checks on them. The specs I have on the KZG forged blades are 28* loft and the Backflow heads are 26*. Both GS and KZG could not te

Trajectory: I am one of those seeking a lower trajectory. I have used the trajectory software and read the articles in Gold Digest and other publications that advise higher loft and claim that it will go longer. However, personal experience and comparisons have proven the opposite for me at least.

Good observation, but please someone correct me if I am offbase: If the only factor of difference in a head is only Ti vs say SS, (no other changes) there is no traj difference. As far as bigger heads, to establish effect on traj, we need to determine specifically where the COG is due to the ite

Can anyone provide some tips on using shafting beads? I have Dynacraft's beads and would like to use them when I assemble Harrison Steel Lite shafts and Z-Model stainless irons. At least one of the heads has a fairly loose-fitting hosel that's probably a few thousandths oversize. I know the bead

Thanks for the review. Some of your comments as well as others from other threads leads me to this: I see many references to people wanting to keep trajectory down (for the driver). I know this is desired as while I play, I know I hear it enough. My question is, has anyone done any testing/demos

I believe the with the SMT line you get heads that are each tested with an air cannon for 100 shots, I believe at around 140mph or so. They are designed to stand up to the long drive clubhead speeds. I don't believe Bang makes this claim. Dan Neubecker [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Messag

Pat, You need to check/compare lofts and lengths to see what's up - generally there's not a big difference in trajectory unless one has a lot more offset than the other.    With these shafts, my experience is this:  the standard rifle is the worst steel shaft out there - it has the lowest
