Hi John, Here's a few suggestions, they are free so they are worth at least what you paid for them. Use some kind of quick connects, like Club Connex or Wishons so you can interchange variables like flex and loft and the others. If your not already, have your foundry mark the heads with act

Hi Bernie and all, There is a trade off between speed and mass, the lighter head increases speed, but reduces mass. In working with arguably the Jack Nicklaus of long drive Gerry James, we worked with heads from about 179 grams to about 207 grams and got the best Ball Speed with a head at 193 g

George, I heard the UL-45 is the same shaft as the 45s from Integra with a different paint job. Maybe a slight modification with the 175 gram driver head (I have the Integra 175 and used DTG version on a customer’s club.). I like the shafts...they hit the ball very straight, though a bit high f

Hi Bernie, Have you tried any of the 45 gram shafts from Integra? They are not very expensive & I have had very good luck with them, except 2 out of 4 of their stiffs I get are still a little soft, more high R then S.   George Huson ByGeorge Custom Clubs --- On Mon, 5/2/11, Bernie Baymiller wro

I'm working out a deal with a local course/driving range here in sunny Traverse City (sunny Cedar, actually) to hold a few demo days to showcase lightweight clubs. Any words of wisdom on running a demo day from those that have done so? Was it worth your while? I plan on forcing jr. to do mos

Hi; I don't have an NF. I have one of Kaufmann's freq meter. Funny you should mention it. The guy said he hit the SW, AW and PW just fine, but couldn't "get the 5 iron off the ground." Even stranger, remember with Pelz said to put really soft flex shaft in the short clubs? Pelz, he's the guy wh

Hi Prof Tutelman. I assumed I'd get a response from you and I appreciate it. As always, reasoned and reasonable. I spent some time today with a couple clubmakers. We discussed this anomaly, if I can call it that. What occurred to me is pretty much what you mentioned re: clamp length. Clamping

I don't have the answer, but perhaps some suggestions. The two things that occur to me are: (1) Profile: everybody has been talking about this, more in terms of bend points or frequency measurements at certain frequencies. But basically it is the profile. (2) Torque: more tha

TFlan...one of the measurements some of the AGCP guys make is a 15-25-35 measurement from tip to butt with a 454g tip weight using a strain gauge freq meter a process which Keith Chatham modified from a Bill Totten presentation at GS [ some years ago]. When measuring a variety of shafts, an

Yeah, I tend to agree. The shafts don't want to flex much from about the center of the shaft, 14 - 16" down. And there's very little bend in the center. These shafts are about as stiff as any graphites I've worked with. But as I said, the freqs are low. Measuring from a 5" clamp doesn't tell th
