Dr. Voo,   We had 20 footers yesterday.  Some California dude got swept away over in Maui. He was walking along the beach and whoosh! The bad part about this time of year is the rain. I can't seem to get the Harley out for a good cruise!   Aloha,   Cub ----- Original Message ----- From: James T.

Cub,   Correct you are, and as you point out, it is individual preference limited by the range of our knowledge and individual ethics.  I guess that I feel open enough that if a club suits my customers needs and improves his game or enjoyment of the game, then I will build it for him.  I don't hunt down a club because it is a "knock-off" (deference to Al's selection of descriptive term), but if it works for the guy then I would make it for him.  I might try and educate him as to the facts that the "knock-off" might not be all it seems to him, but his persistence would get me to try some clubs that inherently I would not produce otherwise.  If the component infringes on the Trademarks of an OEM, again I would not    If the components are from suppliers that produce shoddy inconsistent products, I would definitely refuse to make it.  If it is on the short list of products that are known to be outlawed by the OEM guys, I won't make it.....don't need lawsuits here.  End result is what helps improve his game is fair game for me if it is legal and a quality component.   Funny thing, tonight "The Amazing Race" went through your neck of the woods, Oahu and Kauai.  Spent some time at Hickam and Wheeler 1963-67 and spent leave time on Kauai, Maui, and the "Big Isle"  Christmas in the Islands .... great surfing this time of year and missing snow at Christmas other times while I was there.   Mahalo nui loa Dr. Voo RxGolf Custom Clubs Oh, by the way, just finished "cloning" 28 W2K Pro computers today in a High School Lab and two W2K servers using the Ghost Enterprise software package.  But that "clone" is a "good thing"!      -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steve "Cub" Culbreth Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 5:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: What's fair re;selling? Dr. Voo,   You understood my point and I understand what you are saying as well. The understanding and intent is individual. I know there are only so many ways to make a clubhead. At some point in time there can't be a clubhead made that doesn't utilize a characteristic of a previously made head. I just will not build a "look-a-like" when that is what is requested. I also won't use a clubhead that I feel too closely resembles the trade dress of a currently, or previously, hot market head. I just don't need to.   Peace Brah!   Mele Kalikimaka to you and yours,   Cub
