I've discounted flat-line freq matching in the past but had a little time to ponder it lately. Besides the fact that the short irons may hit longer and higher, wouldn't you lose control all the way around? I mean, using a 4cpm slope we try to maintain the feel and playing flex throughout the set. If you flat-line a set based on your current 7-Iron freq, because you hit it the best, wouldn't you end up with long irons that are way too stiff and short irons way to soft? Seems a no-brainer to me, but I have to wonder.
Have any of you played a flat-line set? Have any of you played a set with only 2cpm of slope throughout? I'd like to hear your thoughts before I get too tempted to test the principle. TIA, Cub
