If I could add a follow up question as well, Tom, When will more heads be available for leftys? I noticed that only the 56 degree is available in LH. Also, the forged iron set looks very interesting as well, but only available in RH.

And now the supplementary question. How can I buy a set of the CX heads and matching Series 5 steel shafts from you without my wife finding out????
