The current fairways / hybrid clubs have no problems with the current process.

He set the course record at his home course (65). I made him a Mantarr XL Driver, 12 degree loft with a Grafalloy Attack Lite Shaft, A flex, 46 inches and back weighted it to C-4. He hit the longest straightest drives I have seen in years. He loved it so much that I made a duplicate for myself. I love that club. It makes a really loud bang at impact, other than that it is a perfect club. I highly recomment it . My brother is 87 years old but still a great golfer.

In the 1980s and '90s, we saw a lot of the message, "Quality is free!" Once management understood what that really meant, they usually decided that they could not afford quality. I'm glad to see somebody who gets it. The reason management types were turned off is that it required an up-front investment in quality that would pay back many times by savings in returns, rejects, customer ill will, etc -- all of which are big costs. But all too often management says, "You're lying to me. Quality costs." Actually it's better than free long term. But too many companies can't see beyond the next quarterly report. Glad to see Hireko is on the ball. DaveT Re: the new weld approach.
