scotts33 Scott, by what method did you build clubs, 40 years ago? What were the 'standard' lengths of clubs then? What about lofts of irons? What material/compounds were the shafts you used? Ever hear of a gap wedge back then? How about 'approach' wedge? Remember the loft of a 'sand iron'? I could go on & on.
Times change. Methods change. So have you & yours, or you would have been out of business years ago; I know better.
And, it's always.....to each, his own.
You can, without question, build a 'perfect' set of clubs, and you surely always do for your customers.
But, I can too! And surely others here can also. But, we do not have customers, we build for ourselves, for fun, for experimenting, and for experiences.
