It's beautiful Dave. I guess you like it so much you aren't going to be
willing to share any of it with us folks on the West Coast. Oh, well. We
have lots of it in the Sierra's this winter so if I really felt the need I
could drive up there. It's just not the same as having it in your front

Hi;
What company's a good source for golf tees
w/logos imprinted? I'm looking for about 4000 tees. I did the google
search and got a lot of hits but it takes forever to go through
and definitive tests.
Go for it!

with what MOI is and how
it can be measured and used to match equipment to golfers. I really do
believe that this is going to be the 'hand calculator' of your generation.

Hi all,
I'm just getting started with clubmaking. I've made a few
and 98-yards for 50* loft. I believe there
is a lot of room for tweaking here.

Alan,
I think that the concept for single length would apply separately for irons
and woods. Can you re-run the numbers using say a 42 club length
be
included
: at a single length remains to be seen. At worst, I think it is easily
: achievable to only have 2 lengths of clubs, 1 for irons and 1 for woods.

Interesting, though.

Dave T. has done the math
comparing single length iron distances vs. traditional irons, and there
really is a minimal affect on distance by going to single length (at say
37).
Sometime
, Wishon
checks the shafts for FLO and applies the label with FLO aligned to the
target, if that matters to you.

John and Alan any recommendations for good shafts?
Alan Brooks wrote:
Thanks, John, I'm in the 'Buy good shafts and it doesn't matter
to me to be to just by shafts with very little
differential stiffness. A max variation of 1 cpm is not uncommon in some
name brand shafts. Aligning these shafts I think is a waste of time.

stable
in lateral oscillation than the other? If so, why? Another way of posing
the question is if you twang the shaft in a plane half way between the two
(at 45* to either) and wait for the shaft oscillations to decay into a
single plane, which will it be?

thinner (paint thinner works if you're using enamel). You don't want the
cloth damp enough that solvent from the cloth dilutes the paint inside the 'P'.
Good luck,
