Bernie, I am so glad to hear that. These clubs have been driving me crazy. What made it harder is that the man(a Pro) wanted his clubs built @ D2, standard lengths, with Winn XF grips. I had to backweight to get to D2 using corks and lead powder, hoping that the corks don't work their way down the shaft. These heads would work well with graphite shafts.

Looking at the 5-iron, the cg appears to be a smidgen inside the center dot and between the sixth and 7th scoreline...almost dead center of the face and a bit high for my preference. They are big heads and head-heavy with steel shafts. A 38" 5-iron swingweights at D7 with an oversize GP Tour Wrap. I hit them well when I was up above the Mason Dixon line...the soles seem to cut right through bent grass and good dirt and I'd get good shots and good divots. But here in Tennessee, they were really bad on Bermuda grass over hard clay...they seemed to hang up on the Bermuda and dig...and nearly every shot was a clanker. When I went to the Chicago 944Cs with a Bermuda grind, I suddenly hit solid shots again. If anybody wants these heads, make me an offer.   Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat McGoldrick To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 7:19 PM Subject: ShopTalk: Tom Wishon-GS Backflow irons from "94" catalog Tom,   Would you remember anything about these heads, or is this before your time with GS?  These heads produced high swingweights compared to other heads of the same weights. Did these heads have a COG more towards the toe? Does the vertical weight transfer have anything to do with having higher than normal swingweights? Any information would be helpful.
