Is it fair to assume that any club-builder worth his salt would be capable for spining/FLOing, frequency matching, swingweight matching and MOI matching? Generally would they be prepared to use clubheads that I supplied?
I just did some static measuring, and I'm about 6'5" with a WTF of 39.5". So according to the charts that puts me at 1.5" longer, and 3* upright, is that about right? As I understand it, for each inch you add in length you get 2* more upright, so 1.5" represents 3* which is roughly what I'm after. Though I do understand that this would be a starting point, and ideally you would do a dynamic lie test.
Anyway, thanks for all your help!!

Hi Chris,
Any clubmaker worth his salt should have the skills and tools required to do all that you mentioned, yes. MOI matching is a relatively 'new' technique, however swingweight matching or stepping is ages old.
A lot of clubmakers substitute build length for lie bending, but this limits them to manipulating shafts only. In other words, if someone wants their
clubs 2° up, they have to extend the shaft 1" (rather than using a bending machine, per se).
As for your dynamic fit:
You say your recommendation is +1.5" AND 3° up. So, to use length rather than bend, you actually need to be +3" (your recommended 1.5, plus another 1.5 for the 3°).
