Well Tim; I see that it's pointless to go on with you on this subject. I asked for more info from mfr's. You said in effect ANY freq info would be essentially meaningless. I said further, that I would like to see a lot of info from the mfr's. Your argument remains the same "It's worthless". Too bad. This is a question that if answered by mfrs (info BTW that I've been asking for since I started in this biz in the mid-60's), if provided it would make it a lot easier on inventory, let alone clubmaking. If you don't agree, well, that's your opinion. Sorry to learn that about you.
So good luck in all your future ventures. I'll keep bitching at mfrs. Maybe some day a mfr will provide useful information in a way that all of us can understand and use it.
