Just heard back from Truespec... they have the G425 irons and drivers, and the new Srixon irons available .  Waiting to hear availability date for the Callaway Apex.  Plus, the pro shop here with the Recoil ES780/F3 can loan me the shaft and G410 head for the day.

What's this?  It looks like now that the G425's are available, the "custom specs" for G410's is no longer an option .  I was just on their site last week pricing out G410's with the Recoil ES780 shafts... now that custom spec tab is gone.  I need to call them about this.

This happens every year across most brands. They try to get rid of inventory and they don’t do custom and/or upgrade builds. You get stock shaft with stock grip and stock length/loft/lie
 

TaylorMade only has left handed sim drivers available and no customization options.

Well, dayuum... now I'm hoping the G425's do perform better.  Need to keep this little detail in the old archives.

  MY shaft story.  Wanted to replace my irons with 40g light weight shafts.  After a fitting at a BIG BOX STORE, they wanted $160 per shaft with grip.  Tried another BIG BOX STORE. $160 per shaft.  Next tried a local well known independent golf shop. $160 per shaft.  So.. I phoned the OEM customer service line and asked." If I mailed my clubs to you, how much to put in the shafts I wanted"--$75 per shaft plus postage.  Lastly I tried a small one man golf shop and he would charge $55 per shaft to send them to the OEM.  SOLD!  Never know what you can find if you shop around,

Callaway Apex Line should be available mid February. I just ordered a first set for a customer, who always wants the freshest and newest clubs without even demoing them and got that information from customer service.

Will most likely order a combo set for myself, since I get heads only from Callaway and have some brand new ACCRA iSteel shafts sitting at my shop waiting to be paired with new iron heads.
