| 1076.2 | two styles... | MAMIE::GORDON | | Fri Sep 14 1990 16:10 | 11 |
| note that the chart in .1 represents "standard irons" the Hogan Apex
which is a blade style iron....
and "perimeter weighted irons" the Hogan Edge which is the high tech
style of irons...
of course clubmakers in this file will have to answer questions on
how there measured/differ/etc. I only placed this here as a comparison
on one brand that I'm familuar(sp?) with

| 1076.3 | Check those metal woods | DPDMAI::VENEZIO | MY other car is a GOLFCART | Fri Sep 14 1990 20:02 | 9 |
| For what it's worth, Metal Woods vary plus or minus 1 1/2 degrees off
advertised loft.
Have one of the clubmakers in your area measure the loft for you. Your
10~ driver may be 11 or 8.5 degrees. It's all in the manufacturing
process.
Just one more thing to think about on the tee.

| 1076.7 | You would be paying more... | MSEE::KELLEY | Golf club repair/custom clubs | Tue Sep 18 1990 17:53 | 3 |

I think you will find the tolerances to be plus or minus 1 degree...
