Component,(alpha,snake eyes, wishon, smt, some miura,maltby,KZG, Nakashima)Lots of different shafts

Both but all customised in some way to suit me.

All customised to suit a 52 kg weed:)

Like Tim suggests OEM and components can be fitted to suit.

Custom built Alpha Irons and wedges, Custom built hybrid.

Graphite in the irons and hybrid, steel in the sandy.

52kg is a lot of weed!

Ok, that’s four, and two of you build/sell them.

Buy the callys mate. I mean that in a nice way. You have to like what you are hitting. You like the callys buy them.

Nadge63 – It would appear you are looking for reasons not to buy components. Why otherwise would you commence another post to ask the same question put in a different way.

You like the X18’s, you want the X18’s buy em. If they work for you great. If they don’t, lose some money, sell em and try some components. If they don’t work either, maybe it’s not the clubs.

You have to like what you are hitting.

Fair comment, and some of the problem.

I actually quite like either the Alpha RX2/RX1 with a steel shaft but have been handed the Responce with graphite shaft – and the Responce looks horrible IMHO!

Maybe that’s my level/capability, but I still hate the look of it every time I place it behind the ball so wouldn’t want to buy them.

Mate it is so important to like the look of the club.

Did you stress that to the fitter?

Yes, ‘fraid so!

You did the right thing, and keep walking.

Firstly the answer is who ever the target market of the Company who has the biggest marketing budget is.

How many EVERDAY hackers even KNOW what custom fitting is and how it benefits the end user??

Food for thought.

I didn’t like the look of the RX-3 at first, it’s growing on me but it’s definately not as nice as the RX-1/2 to look at.

BUT – I hit them much better than the other clubs, to me form should follow function and as I want to lower my handicap first and foremostly I chose them anyway.

The thing was for me that the huge boost in cofidence I had standing over the ball with the RX-3, the first time in a year that I knew that if I did my job right the club WOULD to.

I do understand how u feel though, my m8 won’t even try a new ball unless he likes the way it looks first.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

No second guessing or excuses for me now, I have the right gear, now its up to me to use it!!!

Nice feeling really :-)

Ok, have decided on a different plan of attack to this matter – I’ll combine OEM and custom fit!

I have a set of Titleist DCi’s, of which I like the heads, but the shafts are to much for me – stiff!

So what I intend to do is get suitable shafts to go with these heads – sound a feasible solution?!

Only slight problem is that I am gonna have top keep playing with what I have a bit longer though, as the Titleists at this moment in time reside a few thousand k’s away until I bring them back with me in ‘08 – but I can wait.

best of both worlds…...

Definately an option, providing the head is something like you want/need…put some new shafts in, get the lofts, lies and swingweights checked… regrip and a polish and all good.

Like I have said before, they don’t have to be components to be custom fit.

Now you’re talkin.

Oh, so I’m still allowed to darken your doorway then …............. !

Joking!

Yes, ‘fraid so!

Actually, looking back, I reckon I should accept the blame for this for possible/probable bad communication on my part!

I realise now some previous posts make it look like the fitters were lacking, but in no way would I want to give that impression, because, as The Fox has said, the guys up there are great.

You are always welcome & don’t let Westie push you round. LOL. Get the Tities shipped over…

Common sense prevails. Old clubs that you like, new shafts that are fitted to your needs, you and the clubs working together, lower handicap, eutopia.
