B6 is is a pretty light swingweight, but it doesn’t really matter what the number is if the player swinging it can feel the head throughout the swing. Players that are weaker with slower swing speeds can benefit from lower overall weights and that sometimes translates into lighter swingweights.

They are very similar shafts. The Score is a combination flex and was a stock steel shaft build for a major OEM a few years ago. The XP is a discrete flex, coming in the R300, S300 options. The XP has a low bend point and a soft tip, where the Score is more of a mid/low bend point and med/soft tip. So, the only real difference would be the XP may be a little softer feeling, but since the Score is a combination flex you can adjust the tip trim to play softer if you trim less from the tip than the designated R or S trim instructions. The price difference is due to the fact that we were able to buy a large quantity of the Score from True Temper (over production for the OEM that they never took). It’s a really good shaft that we have had a lot of success with. The XP was discontinued by True Temper several years ago.

On his Optometrix unit, he offers has a pneumatic clamp system, ours is a simple manual clamp with clutch. On his Reference Frequency machine, it uses load cell technology to measure frequency vs the laser light technology that ours uses. We prefer the laser technology, but the load cell technology works just as well.
You do not need a separate clamping device to use the laser device when using our frequency machine.

If you are asking for original Firesole shafts in A flex, I am sure they are not available anymore from the manufacturer. If you are just looking for an A flex option, there are plenty of A flex graphite options that could work. If your looking for lightweight options, look at 45-65 gram options. Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue makes an A flex in a 45 gram shaft and the UST MPF offers an A flex in a 50 gram version. These might be options if you are looking for ultra lightweight to help with distance. The Paderson Kinetixx IMR Fairway comes in A flex and is 60 grams and was specifically designed to provide a mid to high trajectory in fairway woods. Again, there are a lot of options so you might want to look through The Golfworks website to see what is available.

You’re thinking is right on with the LTech’s. I think you could easily fit her into the LTech’s. My philosophy has always been to fit juniors as you would anyone else – based on there physical stature, strength, ability, etc. Of course, starting out, you want to be sure the clubs are not too long, or too heavy. The great thing today is that the shaft can also be fit well because of the options in graphite, and even steel, that are lightweight and flexible. Ralph was the original author of a junior fitting chart that based lengths on a juniors height and weight, but even he would tell you that that was meant as a guide only and intended to give parents and club fitters a starting point. Good fitting basics and good judgement, along with communicating with the junior and asking them if they feel comfortable with the clubs is very important.
Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have the Mizuno irons but have not measured them yet. I will eventually get the Cobra and measure them as well, but nothing yet. Adams CB3’s I do not have. I will have to see if I can find one to add since they are no longer in production. Hopeful that in the next month I can get the MPF listing caught up.

2 lines. 1 white, 1 red.
white line is most stable. During assembly, white line at 9’oclock, or in other words, towards the target. Red line means nothing to you.
This is for a right-handed golfer.
I had hit them back to back q while back and I felt as if the KE4+ had better feel. They also seemed to have better pop to them. Was not on a launch monitor but I liked the flight or the KE4+ better. Looks wise they are slightly similar but I like the weight port option a lot.
The best tool is the spiral fluted reamer. Two links: one for the product, the other for the “how to” –

I recommend following up with the GW1060 in a drill, as That Bob Guy said. Then use acetone on a q-tip or the like to clean out the hosel of any residual debris. When it is dry, then “dry fit” the shaft to be sure it fully seats into the hosel before glueing it up.
Hope this helps! Michael
