Six pieces on the parts of club building that never make it into a marketing brochure: how weight is distributed, how a ferrule seats, and how much a wrap of tape actually changes. Written for golfers who want to know why, not just what.
One number tells you what a club weighs. The other tells you what it feels like to move. Confusing them is why a club that looks correct on a spec sheet can feel entirely wrong in your hands.
