Well, we can agree to disagree on this point. All I'm saying is that its virtually impossible, given our assembly practices, to set a head on a shaft at a precise spot. Its simple to visualize. Imagine 360 degrees marked around a shaft tip that's .335" in circumference. The lines would be atop one another. You simply cannot do it accurately. You may be able to locate the "hard spot" with whatever device you're using but getting it precisely located at say 2:00 is nigh to impossible.
How am I playing? Handicap went from 7 to 10 in a month. I'll shoot 74, then 87, then 79, then 84. Its maddening. Yesterday it was 36/44. Today it was 43/37. No one thing is consistently bad. Sometimes its the putter, sometimes its the irons, sometimes its the driver. I never know when the lurch is going to lunge. I've been playing a 975J for a while. I've had 7 shafts in it so far. The latest one, a Fujikura gold 4565 (oem) seems to be working pretty well. I put a "perfect" set of irons together. Rifle Tour Flighted 5.0's in Ping heads. Heads all weighted to 7 gram increments. Lofts and lies adjusted to my peculiar style of attack, lengths and swingweights right where I want them. Can't hit them for beans. Went back to my old Mach 22 shafted Dynacraft Tour Forged. Ah golf. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes not. TFlan > > How've you been playing lately? Is your lurch still lurching down the > fairway?
