Need some advice - Shot Talk

I have a friend that is wanting me to build him some irons. He is your average ball striker, has a decent swing but doesn't play enough to make good contact all the time. Looking for a GI iron head. I like the looks of the KE4's but golfsmith has some pretty good offerings as well. Any direction would be appreciated.

I recently built 2 sets using head from Hireko Golf and was impressed with the quality, especially for the price
I've also used the KE4 heads - they are quality heads

I really like the Golfsmith P2's that I built over the winter. There has been a lot of positive feedback on them. I have been hearing a lot about the Acer 905XP (?) lately and how forgiving of a head they are.

I think we decided to go with the 905's. I do have a quick questions do they come with the ferules or will I need to order some, for anyone that knows.

You'll need to order them. You should order .370 iron ferrules. Whether you order long ones or short ones is up to you, it's a matter of personal taste.

Either way, get a pack of a dozen as they are cheap and you might want to have a couple spares in case you booger one up.

Nah, use epoxy... it adheres better.

Epoxy should be a no brainer. Ferrules are needed to finish off the shoulder of the iron head. Some irons don't need them but the ones he bought does.

I think usa1950 was making a joke and I was just wondering if the ferules came with the heads.
