He told me George wasnt too particular about swing weights or anything. It was all a feel thing. Swinging them around the shop really made me think about adding weight to my clubs. They were like battering rams. All that weight required a stiffer shaft maybe.

I have not the foggiest what they used??? I think it is interesting though that the clubs sound very similar in makeup. I know you have heard about the old pro's putting Bee-Bee's in there putter shafts to make it heaver, Right? Well, I know that Miller Barber and Babe Hiskey put salt in the shafts of their drivers, how weird is that...
