"One was a Type I and the other was a II" Hi Doug
You want spinefree but I suspect many will always measure them. You buy 2 shafts and classify them as type 1 the other type 2. The same model # of shaft and different in this regard ... why? Any graphite manufacturers out there, that can shed some light. Besides sheet wrap vs. filament wound why does 1 end up as a type 1, while the other a type 2? Suspect made from same tooling. Hi Mr. Cheng If Harrison is online, a reply to my ST email from last week would be welcomed. Are all of your wood shafts now spineless (Std. length 46" and Long Drive shafts)? Mike Cheng, refer to Shoptalk post # 62396 and 65730 (restated below). Thanks Harry S www.Golf54.com Message # 65730 From: "Harry F.

Are ALL wood shaft models (regular shafts 46 inches long, and Long Drive Series shafts) now spineless? How do your Harrison Long Drive Team members enjoy their new high quality and consistent Long Drive Series spineless shafts? Good luck Mike, to you and your elite team, at the upcoming Re/Max World LD Championship.

I really expect the clubmaker market to vote with its dollars for spine-free shafts, now that it has been shown that they can be produced. Recently I ordered two Penley GS-85 shafts. Each was apparently spined at the factory since it came with instructions about how to orient the graphics. One was a Type I and the other was a II, and they had the NBP pointing to the target in each case, with the graphics up. That's a lot better than nothing, but I still would prefer to have no spine to deal with. Then again, maybe "spinefree" is meaningless too. Maybe FLO is meaningless. Maybe it depends if you load the shaft once or twice during the downswing. Still, a random orientation of a strong spine does not seem to be the way to go. Give me spinefree shafts. The mind boggles.
