Al, Sort of what I was getting at but I was trying to be "kindler and gentler"! ;-) For Andy I do take it that the True Measure is laying on the bench. If so, I still don't see why the lines aren't parallel... but in any case, to sole the club is to sole the club and that is what you are aft

You guys are on the verge of making this difficult. Most of the measurements of heads, save weight and volume, that I can think of, has the score lines parallel to the ground. This is considered the normal playing position. With the bench top measuring rules, the head's scored lines are place

Good idea! I was thinking about the thickness and how it could affect it when I was checking lengths. I think mine is probably OK, but it would be worth it to file it anyway to see. -Andy - Original Message - From: "Art Sale" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday,

I actually measured the score lines from the flange when I sole the club in the middle of the clubhead, and they weren't parallel. Once I flatten it out, I can get them parallel. I guess I always focused on the location on the sole to make contact and not on the parallel scorelines. It worked we

I have found that one source of error when using a ruler, is caused by the thickness of the ruler. The thicker the ruler the larger the error. This error can be minimized by filing the zero end of the ruler at an angle of 60* or so, so that the tip of the graduated side of the ruler is actually on

Jents,   Any experience with the Toski Blades?  Is the quality as high as it was ten years ago?  How about their Drivers, especially the Target T-5 Series?   TIA,   Cub

Andy, I've used a True Measure from Dynacraft for the past eight or more years. I sole the club on the flange (sole plate), as do you, and the scorelines are always parallel. I don't bother to test any other way. I don't understand why your scorelines aren't parallel as well. Cub - Origina

If you are measuring drivers, set the "soling" plate to 60º (on outside from bench top). This is the Official measure under USGA recent rules. Measure to end of grip butt. Arnie

Hi Andy I use it too. I don't build much but when I do, I make sure my scorelines are parallel to the flange before I measure regardless of where the sole touches. I am not sure if that is right or wrong, but it is my approach to measuring with that device. Jen Andy Ruigh wrote: I'm guessing

I'm guessing this is a question more for the "hobbyists", as you pro's probably use jigs for measuring. I've used a "True Measure" from Golfsmith for many years. I've just noticed that if I measure assembled club length using a 48" ruler running down the back of the shaft, with the club in the pl
