Dave, your attitude tward the slope in a set of club is rather disturbing to me. Very few players play on a Brunswick slope anyway. From a data base of about three hundred players of all handicap ranges, I found that an average slope was more like 2.3 CPM per club. With about 10 to 15% of the players being flat liners and no more the 5% playing on the Brunswick slope. So lowering the slope can only make it better for most players. What slope you build the players clubs on will determine how many favorite clubs they have in their bag. Determining the proper slope for a player is a major part of a proper fitting system.
