I must have missed something earlier so have no comment on most of your post. However, whether a golfer knows about flex or spines is probably irrelevant to whether the correct flex or spine alignment will help his game. As I explain to the occasional high handicapper I fit, if the clubs are all over the place how will you ever know if it was your swing or the clubs? Not sure I want to try to define how much any particular adjustment will help, but suffice it to say that the closer you can make the clubs to a consistent fit to the golfer, the better.

No offense intended but I guess I asked a stupid question and got a stupid answer in return. I deserved that, didn't I? After downloading the plans the next thing to download was the article named, Spine Finding. I read it two or three times, maybe for or five, and still have not gotten an answer to my question. Actually I am beginning to believe that I did get the answer but it was not what the author imagined. How many players go into a pro shop and buy a set of clubs, spend the next so many years playing, usually scoring between 120 and 80 strokes per game. Finding the spine could possibly the greatest sales gimmick in the market place. I doubt there are 1 in 1000 golfers that even know the stiffness of their driver shaft must less whether of not it had or didn't have a spine.In other words it is not that important to the average player caught up in the process of trying to break 100. I'll build the thing anyway. Just think of the looks and comments I will get when I tell a customer those tools date back to the early days of golf. Have a great evening everyone!
