I chose my 8 iron, matched all the other irons to it, in terms of total weight, balance point, MOI and so on. Swingweight was not a factor. With about 15 games under my belt with these clubs, the most discernible difference is in the 3,4,5 irons. I have never hit these clubs consistently well over the years, and now, all of a sudden, I can. I blame this improvement on the clubs which now "swing" and feel, just like my 8 iron.
Don't you want all your clubs to be like that?", then I know I'm being conned! If a clubmaker made this statement to me and assembled a swingweight matched set, then, yes, I would be being conned. However, if they were going to be MOI matched, instead, then I would know that I was going to get clubs that would be better matched than off the rack stuff is. It is good to be sceptial about some of the things that one hears these days, but I am glad I have an open mind, too, because my ball striking has benefited from it.
The only "What is your favourite club?" clubmaker that I know of is Eric Cook from Swing Sync. If I could not do the assembly myself, and could afford it, I would have him make my clubs, because I know that the product would be good, and that I would not be being conned.
I just wish my putter was my favourite club, for the right reasons.

Apparently Mister Lazzal has passed away. So rest in peace my friend.

Again, this "spine" finder find the BEND in a shaft, not the spine.
Attach a $4 laser pointer to the tip end. Clamp the butt securely. Twang the shaft horizontally. Keep rotating the shaft until the image "line" is FLAT instead of oval.
His spine finder is useless but his shaft puller is apparently fantastic.

$1 at at he local dollarama I have seen this video many many times. I have yet to be convinced that this is what happens during the swing i.e the shaft is allowed to rotate. Again clubmakers have debated over this for a long time and the only thing they agree on is FLO. The above procedure seems useless if you have to FLO the shaft after. Why not just FLO right away. BTW JB builds beautiful NF4's.
