You say he is a customer. I assume you are getting paid. Most pros I know won't cut an glue components that way. I perceive two options for you. Cut and glue the components, charge $30 a club and let him be on his way. Or, do a fitting and recommend proper components. It is possible that these shafts will fit the youngster, but you won;t know till you fit him. What you have described is similar to buying a jacket at a yard sale and buying the pants at another and then expect them to match and fit. FWIW.

I have recently been asked to assemble a set of clubs for a customer, and I have a concern.The customer purchased the heads, shafts and grips from someone else. He's asked me to assemble them, and I'm concerned with what I've discovered since he brought me the clubs. The heads are Toski Mid Range Attack System irons. They look like a nice, perimeter weighted iron, though they are light. The shafts are UST 350-S - marked as TI-55 with Toski graphics. They are a stiff shaft. Here's my concern. The 3 iron weighs 207g. The shafts are 37g. The grips are 53g. If I pre-calculate SW for a 38.5" 3 iron, it comes out to A2. A2? I would have to add 60g to get to D0. Now I know that all irons don't have to SW to D0, but A2? This customer wants these clubs for his 17 year old son. He is a beginning golfer, but I don't think these clubs are anything this young man would enjoy playing. Who would this combination fit? Any comments or suggestions? I hate to build something that will be unusable. The customer is so proud of his "find" on these components (he bought the whole package from someone on eBay for next to nothing), but I'm not at all convinced I should even build them. Thanks, Tim
