Yeah, but is it really worth it for the average player?

Vandal,
That is an interesting question. I've gone to Dana, and I think he is very talented and capable, and a heck of a nice guy. I guess the fitting and the blue printing cost about $400 over the off the shelf clubs. What is interesting is wether it is 'worth' it or not. First, I hit my irons straighter than I hit my previous irons....but I have trouble determining how much of that is blueprinting and how much is TGM....
Second, ALTHOUGH my irons are much straighter and more solid, I have trouble translating that to a 'score' reduction. I've had some wonderful scores this year (68, 69 two 71s) but on average I'm similar to what I did last year. I might be .5 .7 strokes a round better, but I actually attribute that to the fact I'm more consistent and that I would more likely associate with TGM...

So, I can't answer your question directly. I would probably go back to Dana because he did a very complete job of fitting along with the blueprinting. But I'm not sure how much it helped my game.
