Hi Andy Once I bought the Mitchell Ruler with Sole Plate (sole touches a pin), I have never again used the TM ruler. With the TM unit, I was getting anal trying to see the exact pinpoint center of the sole, to ensure accuracy. Anyone from Canada need a True Measure ruler? I have a nearly new unit for sale that needs a good home. Thanks Harry S www.Golf54.com

I was just trying to sole by the middle of the length of the face, not looking at the parallel-ness (that isn't a word) of the scorelines. Cub - I do have it on a flat work bench. I know I'm making it difficult, but I'd just hate the idea of being off 1/4". I was comparing my clubs to the lengths of OEM clubs in the course pro shop and was noticing across the board that mine were short by over the grip cap length. I did verify the lengths of the OEM clubs. Also, a buddy uses a 48" ruler bolted to the table and a door hinge mechanism for the flange, and his always seemed to be 1/4" longer than mine. He set his up by comparing the ruler down the shaft method to his homemade method. Where this all started was I was trying to determine (before receiving new heads and removing old heads) whether I could use current shafts in new heads. I knew the hosels were different lengths, just by looking, and the bore depths were different. Trying to determine the bottom bore to ground distance is where the discrepancy started appearing. I wanted to know, ahead of time, if I was going to have to order a new shaft or two. And Lord knows, I can't stand anyone's being a quarter in longer than mine! ;-) Thanks for the advice, everyone. -Andy
