I found the fact he used a 9.5* head with a 45" shaft the most impressive part of the article. Standard shaft length and clubface angles for average joe golfer!!!

As for distributors, most component companies will find distributors to sell their product for them. Because most people don't want to make their own clubs, the distributor will custom build the club for you. The component companies feel there is more sales this way, rather than by only offering the head. The reason they don't have shafts on the heads when you purchase is because they uinderstand that a custom built club is the best option for every player buying their club and one or two shaft types does not suite all players.
