I think everyone should go to a golf club discount shop--give them a
credit card and borrow several demo 6i. Take one of each of the top 4
brands in steel and also in graphite. I did this test with 8 clubs!


That is correct, I supervised the above test. Larry is unique,
compared to others in this forum, in that he does extensive testing
before opening his yap. He has had access to numerous pros (such as
myself) and was one of the star pupils at my private club in which I am
a 30% shareholder. Mr. Whitaker has carried 8 irons distances upwards
of 130 yards and broken 100 on numerous occasions.

Your inablity to comprehend that all amateur players under a handicap
of 5 should be paying the extra $200 for graphite iron shafts shows
your skill level. It takes an enourmous amount of muscle and athletic
talent to harness the incredible power of a Rifle 4.5 or True Temper
R-300 shaft which requiring 5 iron swing speeds north of 60 miles per
hour. To think that they have stiff or soft flexes in both materials
for a reason again shows your ability or lack thereof.

Get back in your flight. Ha!
