I remember the True Temper raw turnings they sold. No hosel bore, don’t remember if they had the sole plate and insert cut but I don’t think so.

Good to hear, Apollo shafts perform well for the vast majority of golfers. I have a set with the Spectre Lite shafts and they are very good. I weight sorted them and found two of the seven were a bit out of spec but they don’t play any different to me.

Ram is part of Golf Division which owns several brands now and is designing new products for the DC market. They have some interesting looking irons that have been well reviewed. https://www.ramgolf.com/ram-fxt-irons/

If the website pictures were better those would be a huge seller. Looking forward to hearing how the perform for you.

Yes that was AJ Tech.

The weight and profile in stiff is definitely different. The end result may not be all that different but the feel for me at least was very different.

I miss Ralph's quirky designs like the lob slider and the frog chipper or sand putter.

I remember those MT clubs from the country club Pro shop in the 70's.

I loved my 6.5 rifle driver shaft, it was in a Golfsmith XPC driver. The original graphite Rifle shafts were great too.

I had the XII, never wanted a putter more than that one. Loved everything about it and couldn't make solid contact to save me. Lol changed grips, added weight just couldn't stop hitting it on the toe. I still recommend it to people and no one has complained

The new MultiStep is nothing like the old one. They really should given it a different name because it is not a high launch shaft now and is much lighter. It could be a good idea to try one out.

I have had good luck with the Apollo Spectre shafts as a low cost alternative. Very similar to the DG105 flight wise and weight. The issue is weight tolerance. I ordered 7 shafts and while 5 were within a 1\10th of a gram, the other two were a few grams out of spec.

I think most of the engineering is done by the foundry, either on their own or at the prodding of the club company. Golfsmith was selling C455 steel faced fairways 20 years ago. Now TM does it and it’s some sort of revaluation. I just tried out the Ram FX77 which is similar to several club heads and performed as well as an iron can. A little short on toe ward shots compared to the Maltby KE4 Tour+ but most irons aren’t as forgiving as the Maltby is.
