RE: ShopTalk: NF2

Royce:             I’m not sure where you have gotten this impression but I don’t think the issue is one being out of spec, but fitting a set of clubs to a golfer’s swing. Also don’t know that I have seen the folklore and legend you make reference to. What I’ve seen is data and I assumed it was valid. IMHO it’s a fitting question not a spec’s question.   Don Johnson     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Royce Engler Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ShopTalk: NF2   I may get shot for heresy...but I think that for 99% of golfers, a lie/loft adjustment is unnecessary.  Lie/Loft machines are impressive, but I don't often see clubs that are so far out of spec that a lie or loft adjustment would make a difference to the golfer, other than between his/her ears.  I think there's this macho thing about bending clubs that appeals to folks.  Of course, there's also a lot of folklore and legend about lie and loft, which doesn't help.     I have an older frequency analyzer - an FM Precision model, and built an NF2 a couple of months ago.  Still working on comparisons and calibrations between the two, but I'll guarantee you I can sort, match and mark trim points on a set of shafts a helluva lot faster with the NF2.  The NF2 also does a super job of identifying NBP's, and I've now gotten almost anal retentive about NBP alignment.   Given that you can build an NF2 for under $100, I'd get one of John Kaufman's Club Scouts AND build an NF2.  Then you've got both bases covered.   IMHO....

I've heard of the NF2 on this board. What is it and how would it compare to replacing a frequency analyser? Also what is the web site that has the used golf lie loft machines. Would you say a frequency machine ( or NF2) is more important or the lie loft machine... the reason I ask is I don't think I can afford both I am just a hobbisist. Thanks Alan
