A certain feline recommended them to me so was trying to figure out what they are.

It appears they are not by default in a Golf friendly size or offset though.

8.5 with the 51 offset will be ok if you could find them.  :party:  the PDC on the ones i have found is 120 but that shouldn't be a problemo.   :happy2:
