I agree with your PS. I did not know it at the time. Thanks for relaying the possibility that Jack used a 42 inch shaft. Interesting approach for the fella you mentioned. I like people that think outside the cubicle...unlike me. Tom Wishon says that 24/38 is the threshold for most players i.e. 24 degrees of loft and a 38 inch shaft. The vast majority of players do not have sufficient expertise to play with less loft and longer shafts. Watching the golf yesterday (WOW!) I paid particular attention to how their longer clubs were "sitting" I did not see one toe up in the air. The strange thing is that even with 44.5-45 inch driver shafts and without overly high hands at address the sole was flat. This got me thinking that they bend the hosels.
