Hi Dave, Not sure I would go cheap on driver head, IMO the bigger the better for a  women just learning.  I would go with  Hireko's Power Play 5000 in 450cc cost is about $50 but you can get it in 12 or 14 deg loft.  I would go with the 12 if I were building the set.  I would use a mid size 3

Parts alone are about $100 unless you can take the time to scrounge around, shop all over hell looking for something that MIGHT work. If I am building for somebody else, I can't and won't do that and if I am doing it, it's all first class stuff. I can easily account for 15 hours, at $10= 150+100= $

Bernie, I have used the NBP-COG method in reshafting a couple of drivers with SK pure energy shafts. Seems to be the way to go. My method rather than clamp the shaft to the bench with the NBP down was to prepare the shaft, put on the ferrule, put the shaft in the NF2 to find the NBP, then I took t

Charlie,   Just did a quick check for FLO on the 45" club length 2W I assembled NBP-COG with a Tour Golf TSEL, 54 gram R-flex which had a somewhat large spine, if I remember correctly. Even with a "sofftee-style" grip clamped in a Workmate, there is almost no ovalling. If it's not dead on the

Corey, you are suggesting that, in a bearing type spine finder, the response of the shaft is dominated by the residual bend in the shaft (I agree, btw, that is what my experience shows). If there is no residual bend (the shaft is perfectly straight) then the bearing type spine finder will iden

Corey, My question is, does residual bend affect the performance of a shaft the same as if it were an NBP? In other words, will the assembled shaft tend to rotate toward the residual bend point? Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Corey Bailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Charlie,   I never check for FLO any more...didn't even think of checking for it. Will have to try it and see.   Before, trying the NBP-COG alignment, I had been using NBP-target because I always had good results with it...a tight impact area and solid hits. In trying the NBP-target alignment
