This reminds me of a funny story. Quite a few years ago in "Golf Digest" I believe, they decided to take an old set of Bobby Jone's clubs and test them to see what the flex, swingweight, etc. of his irons were and to compare them with a modern set of clubs.
They found to their surprise that he had a perfectly matched set, swing weights, shaft stiffness, lengths, lie angles and lofts, except for his 5 iron (a surprise given to the fact that it took hundreds of clubs and thousands of shag balls to get a set to perform properly since all clubs were made by hand then).
The 5-iron they found to have a shaft that was much stiffer than the rest of his set. They asked Mr. Jones about this, thinking that this had been done on purpose, to which he replied "I never could hit that damn 5-iron right."
