Excellent sound and feel, and the ball definitely makes a big difference.

It’s not cheap, but I found copies online at Abe Books. Here’s the link: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31816843829&searchurl=isbn%3D9780927956109%26n%3D100121503%26sortby%3D17&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1

You could also definitely take advantage of a Pured shaft if you use a non-adjustable driver head. Golfworks has 3 great models available. Might want to consider that possibility. The ISO-T is an especially...

I have just read this thread again and truly appreciate Britt for his expertise and his willingness to share so generously with us all. His point about reading Ralph's books is to be taken seriously....

If you’re referring to the MPF ratings of different brands of iron heads, here’s the link: https://www.golfworks.com/head-mpf-ratings/

Here’s the link to the Graftech 65 shaft. The A/L flex is currently out of stock. https://www.golfworks.com/graftech-gt-65-graphite-iron-shafts/p/gw0050/ Here’s the link to the Pro Series, but the...

Since you mentioned that you tend to have a lower trajectory, of the heads you mentioned I’d recommend the TS3 because it has a lower center of gravity. And actually, the TE Forged, (and also the DBM)...

It’s so unfortunate that the Maltby Clubmaking Academy will not have classes this year. Jim does such a great job! Definitely go to one, hopefully next year. In the meantime, I believe Mitchell Golf...

Another simple option is to replace the current, heavier grip, which is about 50 grams or more, with a Tour 25 grip. This will make a big swingweight change. Here’s the link: https://www.golfworks.com/golf-pride-tour-25-light-weight-golf-grip/p/gp0056/...

Thank you, Britt. I totally get what you’re saying. Actually, I have Ralph’s books and am quite familiar with them and what he presents there. While taking classes there at Golfworks you even took...

Are there any scientific studies to show a how higher MPF ratings in clubs affect actual performance in terms of distance and dispersion? It would be nice to be able to convince skeptics of the value of...

Excellent, detailed answer. Thank you, Britt!

Britt and Jim, there are a good number of iron shafts that are available in both taper tip and parallel in the same brand and flex. However, it seems they are not the same in terms of their actual shaft...

I just fitted a 12 year old middle school golfer who plays on his school's team with the M890's. I was able to properly fit him and his results are amazing! Worth considering and would be much better than...

Yes, there is an A flex steel shaft with a taper tip and I highly recommend it. Here’s the link: https://www.golfworks.com/nippon-ns-pro-8950gh-355-iron-shafts/p/np0005/ There are probably others,...

This is clearly one of the most difficult issues and the debate has been going on for a very long time, probably since the golf ball changed the very first time! Perhaps the simplest solution would be...

When I’ve run into this problem in my club fitting work, I have used duct tape - yup, duct tape. I use the Gorilla brand. I put on the lead tape, then a piece of duct tape to go over all edges of the...

I really like the KE4 Tour+ and especially the KE4s iron heads for doing my custom fitting as they offer easy to change swing weight on the fly with the screw weights. Any chance of an iron design for...

Thank you, Britt. Very helpful.
