Mark,
Sounds like the laws of physics must be in error! I would like to see the data and procedure, or some reason, to help me understand why what you're saying happens.

If you use a tip weight and measure it at two positions 1" apart without changing the butt clamp, the frequency changes around 10 cpm. I've done this many times checking trim sensitivity. To me, that's the same as changing the cog of the head.

I would also ask about other criteria as well. As much as I wanted to believe that the weight's COG could affect freq, John Kaufman convinced me that it doesn't for the purposes we are working within. He built a weight that have a moveable COG and tested freq with it in all sort of unique positions for some of us at the PGA show a couple years ago. No effect. Glad I saw the testing as seeing is believing.

I didn't find a specification on their "head" other than weight. Most of the
weight cg's used in testing have the cg located at the shaft tip. Most heads I
use have heads with a cg 1" past the shaft tip. Only thing to do is ask them
first chance.

Saw those charts and decided to do a check with my SK shafts and freq.
meter...  checked a few types of woods and at a 5 inch butt clamp with a 205
gr. weight..  I was consistently getting  readings about 10 cpm higher than
the SK fiber charts.. anybody else do a sanity check with these charts???

Just looked at SK's web site for first time since November and was very
pleased to see they have added a frequency table for 5" clamping at
additional lengths and head weights!

Probably not new news to most but then I've always been slow, especially
in my back swing.

Supposed to get highs in the low 70's this week!!
