Well, Burgess, you know what they say about hindsight. But, the first thing to
do in such a situation is to notify all golf, pro, and pawn shops in the area
because your set was not likely stolen by a golfer and would not be easy to
fence. Not being a golfer, the thief would not be likely to have friends to
whom he could sell them. The other possibilities would be to monitor local
classified or eBay advertising, or perhaps, initiate a Google alert. In
California, thieves sometimes roamed parking lots of public courses trying to
sell stolen clubs. Such thieves would likely try to sell the bag and clubs
together so having a photo of the bag could be helpful in pursuing recovery,
because it could be distributed to starters with a reward offer. That aside,
you may just have luck with the Club Scouter in Texas or Ironfinder in
California, if Henry is still in business. It is surprising the stuff that
these guys have, although it is mostly individual clubs rather than full sets.
The only other ideas might be to reach out to Jeff Summitt at Hireko, the
company that acquired Dynacraft--Jeff came from Dynacraft in the acquisition
package I believe--or TomWishon since he was a moving force in Dynacraft's
early days, but that is a stretch. However, Tom or Jeff may know what became of
the production molds and enable you to track down whether anybody overseas
might still be producing them or at least still have leftover heads. A lot of
this kind of thing wound up in Korea at one time. Personally, I would suggest
that you replicate the shaft behavior if those sticks worked well for you. You
can put any head on the optimum shaft behavior for you and play golf, but when
the shaft is wrong it doesn't matter what's on the end of the stick, you are
going to have problems. Good luck and hope this helps. -Davy.
