Then after going through all of that you maybe able to help about 2% of the golfers. But it sure will help you sell, sell, sell..........df ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 3:28 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: FUJIKURA PRO VISTA 60 In a message dated 10/1/03 4:03:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: . I think Dave T  provided these. Wasn't me; it was RK. Should work just fine. Thanks, Dave for the correction. I would add here IMHO anyone starting in club building should first build the deflection board in the archives, learn to calculate swingweight using what should be one of your first tools, a good gram scale. I am often asked by a customer about "torque" when they more often mean to say "flex". It's easy to illustrate "flex" with a deflection board and this device will always be useful in club making. I think that because you cannot change the torque of a shaft this factor is not worth testing against specs. unless you question a shafts supplier's honesty in printing the specs. If you don't trust that why are you buying from them. You can alter flex and swing weight so start with and understand those factors. Component weights, shaft lengths and the effects will become easier to understand. Go on to splining and understand how that relates to flex and soon you will encompass knowledge of such things as "toe droop', and other factors in building. Soon you will want a frequency meter because of it's more exact measurement capabilities. You can't easily measure kickpoint but you need to understand the effect. Than you must get a good bending machine. How about a swing analyzer? A launch monitor? Will the list of gotta haves ever end?
