Hi Ron, I built my own True Measure to start with, then bought one. I have made a few alterations to improve my operation of it.
I epoxied a pair of I beams from an old curtain rod to the slanted bit (one at each side) and a drop opening fixture so the slide does not move too readily. I installed a mirror opposite the slide to see the score lines on right handed clubs easier. Works great. When I get some time, I will trim the I beams so hosels cannot reach them. This should permit an iron to be squared up so the measurement will be more accurate. I will also have a better look at my local supplier's Measuring Device http://www.mitchellgolf.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=1318. Further findings for newbies setting up, check out a few building supply stores until you find plastic 48" rulers. They are cheaper than Aluminum, and will not get bent and scarred quickly.

No one has ever brought a club back complaining that it was a 1/4" short...how would they measure it anyway? Regards, Ron
