I finally connected with my +1 index friend who made a set of NearNet
cavity backs (5, 6) and blades (7-LW).

I was very surprised to find out that he didn't have a scale, so
I can't comment on the weights other than he said that they were
marked on the heads from Raven and were within spec.

He did have the lofts and lies checked by another clubmaker and
they were spot on.

Visually the two CBs looked VERY slightly shorter heel to toe than
the blades.  However, this could well be due to the slightly thicker
top line and more rounded toe contours.

Another friend (2 index) tried the clubs and liked the blades better
than the CBs.  Better feel.  The set's owner is going to replace the
CBs with blades.  He couldn't really explain why.  I really think it
is just so they all look the same at address.

He has replaced his Vokey SW and LW with the NearNets.  He likes the
wedges very much.  (He shot 1 under at Poppy Hills the first time he
used the set, so they can't be too bad).

He put stiff TT TX-90s in the set and they didn't work for me.  His
demo clubs used some extra "no name" shafts he had laying around and
they suited me perfectly.  I was a little surprised at how much different
the feel was.

All in all a wonderful looking set of clubs.
