I had a Henry-Griffitts fitting and bought the clubs, back in ~1998. That experience got me interested in clubfitting and clubmaking.
HG sets are quite unique in ways not worth going into now. Anyway, there is a problem with your assumption that changing your lie angle to 63 is going to get you the performance you saw on the range. You would need to know the rest of the specs of the fitting club. Length, weight, flex, among others. Or, buy a 5 iron. Tell them you just want to experiment with it to see if it is only a honeymoon before you buy a set. Take the 5 to a clubmaker and get the rest of a set made to match it. It WILL NOT be what a HG set would be, because of their unique philosophical differences of shaft flex. But it will be matched in today's conventional methods. If you want the set to match HG's specs exactly, tell the clubmaker that all of the irons have to be the same CPM as the 5 iron. If he uses a shaft that specifies 1/2" tip trim change per club = 4 cpm, and heads that weigh 7 grams change per club, he's got the right raw materials. Then, tip trimming every shaft the same amount should be very close to the same CPM on all of them. Anyway, you need to know a lot more than the lie angle. -Don M --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was asked to take part in a club fitting session. > An individual was > setting up a custom club fitting business (henry > griffin).
