Need help with a decision

I vote the Tom Wishon clubfitting as well. Heck, just talk tothe nearest Wishon clubfitter and if you don't like his presentation, then go to your local Dick's Sporting Goods store and buy the clubs that match whatever hat, shoes, or balls that you already use.

AP1s or AP2s i would recommend they look good

I am dead serious. If you don't know what REAL champagne tastes like how can you judge it based on your experiences with "sparkling wine"?

I have actually hit a set of Wishon's my dad uses.. Not saying they are bad clubs but to say brand name stuff will ruin your game? Come on dude. What are yhou doing? Trying to drum up some business for yourself?

Okay, I'll say this...
If a person buys a name brand set of clubs and does nothing to them but play them and tries to figure out why the 5 iron and 6 iron go the same distance (or any other two clubs) without having them measured for actual loft and lie have they gotten "quality"? There's a HUGE difference between getting properly fitted and "getting fitted" by a store worker. Let's educate ourselves about our equipment. I do appreciate your comments and I certainly don't mean to insult anyone who only buys name brand "off the shelf" clubs.

Let me give you an example- A client of mine brought his brand new Callaway X-Tours (with satin PX 6.0s) to me because he said they didn't "feel right". He'd ordered them 1" over length with the 3i starting at D3 progressing to D5 in the PW. "Standard" lofts and 1* upright. The only thing I can say about them getting right were the grips and the lengths. The 3i started at D5 and progressed to D7.5 in the PW. The 4i and 5i were 1* apart in loft. Callaway promised him his clubs at his specs. He's not the only one whose "name brand" "custom fitted/made" were brought to me. Granted that a lot of guys and gals get lucky and can deal with this kind of service.

My purpose here is to try to spread the word that there are a lot of us out here who are interested in the tech part of this sport/game and want to help others get the most out of it.

And yes, the pros get this kind of service which is partly (a big part at that) why they can play so well. Bobby Jones had a bitch of a time controlling his 7 iron. Years afterward it was discovered that it was significantly more flexible than his other clubs.

It's well known that Tiger uses Miuras, not Nike irons.

Klaus Rumminnigge was my hero back in '82 when I was there (Sembach AB). Some of the guys I worked with were buddies of his. FCKaaaaahhhhhh!

Tip your caddies well.

I was already going to have mine checked when they get here. They have been ordered the way I want, but Im spending that kind of cash on them Im going to make sure they did it right.

Please do yourself (and your pocket) a favour and just try Bridgestone J36 PC with flighted Project X 5.5 or 6.0. The next will be Titleist AP2 or Mizuno MX 300.
I believe the shaft is 75% of the club value in any sense of this word.
