Don,
Tried it again with no luck. The file is very small...only 65 kbs. Think
I'd get hold of your ISP and complain about blocking your mail. I have the pic
of the Pro Perimeter and the spec chart in this. I'll take them out ansd see
if the record table will go through.

Hmmm, I don't have a spam-blocker but my ISP
must have one.
I've been able to open Word stuff before.
Maybe the file is to large for my provider..df

I tried to send you the attachment, but your spam-blocker wouldn't
let it through.

George,
As I recall, the Apache PM-30i (now the MFS 30+) R1 was about 283
cpm raw. I found that 275 cpm was what I needed...picked up 10-15
yards in that much softening, and it still feels stiff to me. I'd
guess the Powerflex FW-501 would play about 3 or 4 cpm softer than the
R1 Apaches, but the profiles are obviously different so it's strictly
a guess. Suggest you get a couple of shafts and try them out...at
$6.95 for singles, you can't lose much. Since it's an R/S combo shaft,
you have plenty of room to stiffen it.
That Pro Perimeter head is a good bargain for an inexpensive
set, too. I was hitting the set very well again today. Missed two
greens with full iron shots today...one an easy 7-iron that
I pulled 15 feet left of the pin into a Bermuda grass bunker...had to
chunk it out and DB'd the hole 3-putting from 12 feet. :-( The other
was another 7-iron I hit dead at, but 20 feet short of a
front-side pin and chipped up for a gimmee. Our greens have just
been aerated and I had trouble with the putter all day...3 three-putt
greens and a 78 that could easily have been a 73 if the swingee
had been a little smarter...had maybe 6 birdie putts under 15 feet and
only made one on the second hole. The manufactured quality of these
heads is certainly not as good as Wishon's, but comparable to GW CER
series and some of GS stuff. The design is clean and the heads play as
well as any. For an addicted clubmaker like me who likes to try
new stuff several times a year, heads and shafts like these make it
possible and affordable.
I'll send you my set record table and pic of the head privately.
If you have Microsoft Word, you can open it OK.

Bernie,
I need to build a low cost set of
irons for travel. I was going to order the apache mfs 30+, this
powerflex sounds too good to be true. I normally play the R-1
in Apache's old spec's. how do you think this shaft will play
without soft stepping it.

Don,
SK Fiber makes very good shafts, though I haven't tried the
Tri-Tec. I use the Pure Energy A for most of my long drivers.
Here's an iron shaft option, if you want to experiment...
I found an inexpensive graphite shaft which seems
to play as well as my old $15 Apache PM-30i A-2 shafts.
It's a Hireko proprietary filament wound Powerflex FW-501 combo
R/S iron shaft (I'm using the R softstepped one club with a 3/8"
slope), spec'd at 88 grams, but is actually 81-82 grams (same
weight as my Apaches), torque 3.0...about where I like
it. Consistency shaft-to-shaft was quite good on my NF2, with
a spread of only .023" for ten shafts, all readings
taken on the NBP...or a little less than 5 cpm, I think.
Seven of the shafts has spines less than 2 cpm and the
other three were .013", .015" and .016", or a little less
than 3 to a hair more than 3 cpm. Cost is $6.30 each/10 shaft
quantity. Tip sensitivity was .026"/inch, or about 5 cpm. These
shafts have a profile that feels a little heavier than many
graphites the same weight...which is a feature I like because it
stabilizes my swing on the short irons. Impact feels very solid
and shaft action is smooth. Played three rounds with
them and had three straight 77s...if I could putt, they would
have been 74s or less. :-)
Used Pro Perimeter heads ($6.95) with these shafts, very
clean looking cavity backs with low offset, and used Hireko's
Soft Tread grips ($1, like a Softee). Swingweight across the
assembled 3-PW set was D2.9 to D3.5, or .6 of a point spread
(except for SW at D4.7, which I wanted heavier). Also, tried the
NBP-COG alignment, which seems to result in a very straight ball
flight (though most of these shafts really didn't need any
particular alignment). Club length is standard graphite lengths.
Component cost about $15 a club. Time will tell, but these
might be my "cheapo" iron success of the year.
