Same size Shoes, but ...

Yes, two men may wear size 10112 shoes, but onerequires AA width, while the other is fitted best inD width. Either would be distinctly uncomfortablewearing the other's shoes.

likewise, many golfers are trying to play with mis-fitted clubs - and that's the reason more andmore golfers are turning to Kenneth Smith woodsand irons. They realize the need for clubs made tofit their physical characteristics - their naturalswing. Kenneth Smith clubs are handmade to fityour customer's individual measurements, scientifi-cally matched and all clubs in a set identica:lyswing balanced. No other clubs are so made and50 balanced.
