I discussed this issue with Casey at the PCS show and he gave me a document which indicated a 7" clamp and a 285 gram tip wt was used. I don't know where the 305 came from. He said they were duplicating Fujikura's technique. I told him he's going to irritate a lot of clubmakers by publishing weird frequency numbers in his catalog but I couldn't convince him to use a more standard 5" 205gr approach.
