| 1573.1 | Good clubs no worries | PEKING::ANTELLJ | | Fri Aug 14 1992 13:07 | 19 |
| The Shafts make them a fine club its lighter than steel so more weight
can go in the head.
The Copper is softer than steel meaning more feel as the ball is on the
club face a fraction longer.
If they feel good on the range they will feel the same on the course
the only difference will be your attitude.
They seem to suit you so buy them .
I have had a graphite shaft in my driver best investment ever its been
there for one yr and its cut my handicap.
Play well think positive

| Copper clubs or at least Berylium Copper ones have been around for some
time. The original concept was to produce the feel of a forged club
with the playability of a cast.
I have used BC clubs from Prima for years(Ping copies) and other than
the weight (they are heavy) the are great. They used to sell at a
premium, but I have no idea what they go for today.

| 1573.3 | Harder then Steel | CGOOA::DURNIN | Live Dangerously - Don't sit on the Fence | Mon Aug 17 1992 21:37 | 7 |
| Hi,
Berylium Copper is much harder then steel, but produces a soft feel.
It strikes me the copperheads are a clone of the Pings put out by
Golfsmith.
Good Luck with them....JD

| 1573.4 | BC=Karstens Mistake | DPDMAI::VENEZIO | Perfect Practice Makes Perfect | Tue Aug 18 1992 13:29 | 20 |
| Re: -1
Your right in saying the BC's are harder than the standard irons. BC
was an idea that Karsten had but it never took off. He even admits it
was one of those mistakes you make in business. The concept came when
he tooled up for a club material that didn't work. He had spent a
fortune on tooling so he came up with a BC material that would work in
the molds already built.
The Copperhead irons come from a company called Dynacraft and are of
good quality. They are discontinued in the catalog and stock was sold
at a reduced rate.
The golf club business is a funny one. What works for you may be an
eyesore to others. If you hit it good staick with them.
Remember, its the shaft that makes the difference anyway.
Good Luck

| 1573.5 | Bad Idea? | SARAH::DEFELICE | | Fri Aug 28 1992 17:11 | 6 |
| Re: -1
What made this a bad idea? Was it the cost, demand or performance of
the clubs? I'm thinking about copper headed irons and wondered what
the general impression of them is. Also, why does it seem that
everyone puts a graphite shaft on BC heads?

I think it was the typical "supply/demand" theory. Too much supply for
little demand. The lack of demand came from the cost ($1000) at the
time with no visible performance advantage over the stainless irons.
My theory on the graphite shafts ending up in BC irons was a way to
generate demand. Buyers could see a difference with graphite. Maybe
that would spark some the interest.

| 1573.7 | BC too hard | WALTA::LENEHAN | par-taking in par making | Wed Sep 02 1992 13:53 | 8 |

Hi ,
I heard the BC clubhead was measured to be a harder metal than
any other... players are looking for a softer metal for better
feel.
