Bill,

I received the clubs on friday.  We've taken them to the range a couple of
times, and played nine holes yesterday.  Here's what I think so far.  

The clubs look great.  Quality components, solid construction, good
alignments, and no stray expoxy.  My girlfriend's odd club lengths check out
nicely, too.  (Thanks especially for that.)  To my untrained eye at least,
nothing could be done to improve on your workmanship.

The service you offer is great.  I really appreciated your willingness to
respond promptly to repeated inquiries when I was considering various
components, and the fact that you could provide a precise timetable for
delivery and then meet it to the day is remarkable.  

I expected the XPC3 irons with Apache shafts to be about right for me just
based on what I'd read, but the actual improvement is hard to believe.  I'm
hitting them about 25 yards further than my old clubs and a little straighter.
 Mishits (which I have quite a few of) still get decent distance and go fairly
straight; not disasterous as before.  The added distance is actually forcing
me to rethink my game.  (E.g., my three iron now gets  about 210 off of the
tee, which is longer than the old three wood I had been driving with.)  

The Super Concorde 5 wood is great too.  I've always liked 5 woods, and this
one is the best I've hit.  Easy off of the fairway or tee, good distance and
pretty straight, even though I haven't quite sorted it out yet. 

I'v#005#e never been able to hit a driver well, and sadly my new Jetstream
Tour is no exception.  I may wish I had gone with the Axis Tour you
recommended, though I suspect that 99% of the problem is in my swing.  Drivers
are just hard for me to handle.  I'll work on it this summer and see what
happens. 

My girlfriend loves her clubs too.  She's only been playing a couple of
months, and the Jetstream Tour 3 wood makes a great driver for her.   Her
shots are more consistent than previously.  She can't believe how easy the
Super Concorde 9 wood is to hit off of the fairway.  The consistency of her
iron shots with the XPC3s is improved too.

It's been great doing business with you.  I'm amazed that you can provide such
excellent service and workmanship while beating everyone else's prices
hands-down.  I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again.  Thanks for everything.
