Hi Tom
Don't be too quick to discredit the effect of NBP and S alignment positions.
Don't equate spine as a gimmick. All of my customers know about alignment.
Don't discredit the benefit to all golfers, to include the high handicap
player.

irrelevant to whether the correct flex or spine alignment will help his

Get a ferrule that will fit snugly onto the shaft after you have removed the
paint up to the top of the hosel (.350 ID should work). Roll the tip of the
shaft in the epoxy mixture to put a very light coat of epoxy on it. Slide
the ferrule on, but not so far that it goes higher than it will end up
Bobby,
Put a small dab of epoxy on the shaft. Place the
ferrule over the end of the shaft and push it down until it stops. Turn the
shaft upside down, placing the ferrule on the bench or hard surface. Push down
on the shaft until the bottom of the ferrule is even with the end of the
shaft.
First time reshaft:
1. measure depth of hosel (the hole in club head)
2. mark that measurement (from small end of shaft)
3. place ferrule (little plastic thingy) next to shaft with bottom side at mark
4. mark the upper side of the ferrule on the shaft
