I mentioned the DCT and the 919 as possible replacements, both are component heads that would allow me to have loft and face angle hand selected, eliminating the "stated loft" vs "actual loft" question
Tinkering with clubs is an awesome experience. If you have the right tools and skills that is the way to go. I build my own clubs for over ten years. Learned a lot along the way. It is a never ending process as there are always new heads, shafts, etc are coming out.

Re: driver heads, Lyle thinks the best head at present is made by Maltby, model CT250. Being new to this forum, I am not sure how to put the thread address in here for you, but you can find it pretty easy just look for it.
