Scott, I bought a used Scotland. I should say a VERY used Scotland. While it holds and bends clubs great, the loft measurements aren't accurate. I use my old Maltby (crappy) machine to hold the shaft and use a loft protractor to measure. The Scotland's (mine at least) weren't accurate across all

As far as the GS Gauge is concerned, the plane of the shaft (as it effects loft) and the plane base is 90 deg. Given that, bounce should make no difference in the loft reading. Whether you line up the clubface to dead square on the GS Gauge definitely would make a difference though. GregZ -O

Loft on irons is measured from the centerline of the shaft, so if the face of the iron is flat against the arms of the Scotland, you are getting the loft. The base of the measuring gage is perpendicular to the arm holding the shaft, you should get identical measurements!! -Original Message

Could it be possible that the difference I'm seeing is due to the bounce? The GS gauge measures loft in relation to the flat surface of the base of the gauge, vs. the Scotland measures relative to preset angles that aren't affected by the bounce. Scott At 08:08 PM 3/30/2003 -0500, you wrote: >

Hi Scott, I have the same two machines as you and have found the measurements on the Scotland to be consistently 1 degree weaker than on the GS Club Gauge. The lie is too close to call. Based on printed specs all bets are off when I got into measuring a friends Volkey wedges. I got really weak mea

Some people here have been talking about powder coating heads. I saw Harbor Freight has a powder coat oven for $69.99. I don’t know anything about the process or this oven but it might be worth a look. ITEM 47901-0VGA   Kevin
