JOHN: Thanks John, but it's still a little early for us to let go of what we're doing new for 2006. We're still on target for a mail date of Jan 16 so that catalogs will begin to drop in mailboxes between Jan 23 and Feb 5 or so, depending on Uncle Sam of course!! We'll do a pre-mail release by em

I bought one of those jazzy Maltby C of G finders (balance the club on the face or bottom and mark). Any tips on an easy way to balance a wood clubhead on it? The first few test heads wobbled like crazy and wouldn't balance (didn't have the pen in , than goodness). They suggest holding on to th
