The TM R7 and R7 425's are very close to the labelled lofts - at least the heads that I've seen in the tour van. All of those heads have an attached sticker on the crown with actual measured lofts, lie angles, weights, face angles and shipping dates; of which the actual measurements are always within 0.5 deg. of the label on the sole. I can only assume that the tolerances are similar to the heads on the store racks, though.
I do know that Callaways are always weaker than the stamped loft - usually 1.5 deg or more..... > > From: Ed Reeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/05/30 Tue PM 03:30:08 EDT > To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com > Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Anybody out there? > > Tedd, > I would *guess* that they are reporting the loft that is stated on the > sole plate.
