ode The only thing I ever check, is weight, when building.....head, shaft, grip. I do understand there are allowances basically in all those categories. And I know how to deal with any of them, to make clubs that work for me. I do notice the lie angle of the irons after building, and if too upright, I will have them adjusted to suit me. Only 1 time did I ever have lofts checked, and that was only on 2 clubs, a 7 & 8. I was hitting them the same distance almost every shot, & they were the same loft, as it turned out! Had there been just a few yards diff, not even 10 let's say, I would never had them checked. And, I have never checked an iron face for flatness.(not even sure they should be, or need to be). And that is leading me to my question here.....
How many on here are able to detect if a loft is off, on any club? Like I said, I knew from getting the same distance, no matter what the strike was like, from those 2 clubs. I did not have the others checked thinking they were not going within a certain yardage range, club to next club. How many can do that, can say....'I hit my 6i x yards, my 7i, y yards, etc.' & have those x's, y's be a set amount from club to club???
My point is, while the lofts may be way off spec, how many players would ever know, without having them checked, as long as they were getting a different yardage. IOW, just how many sub 7 'cappers are around these days?
I hit that 7 & 8 x distances all the time, every round. Someone please tell what the x stands for.....with my swing???? 😅
I only knew they went the same. I never knew how far they would go.
Anyone follow all that? 🤔
