Re: ShopTalk: Oracle Plus Iron Shaft

[Bernie Baymiller]

Graham,   Just built a set of irons for a local senior with Graman CF310 A/R flex shafts. http://www.gramanshafts.com/Pages/model310.htm  Note the asterisks for A/R.   It's a really good flex for smooth swingers and seniors. These $11.30 Gramans were right there with the most consistent sheet-wrapped shafts I've seen in that price range, with raw shaft deflections on my NF2 running from .378" to .385" on the NBP across 9 shafts. Assuming about 1 cpm per .005", that's only about 1.5 cpm. The spine magnitudes were pretty good, too, with only 2 shafts with spines over .010" and those were .013" and .019".   Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Little To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 8:23 PM Subject: RE: ShopTalk: Oracle Plus Iron Shaft Thanks to all who replied. Yep I've had it confirmed (by both John Curry and Rapport) that this is indeed an A/R flex. Sneaky isn�t it? I've never seen an A/R before.   Graham     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham Little Sent: Monday, 23 February 2004 6:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ShopTalk: Oracle Plus Iron Shaft   Gentlemen   I have a Rapport Oracle Plus iron shaft to instal. The butt sticker says it is 292 CPM and the label reads OPAR. The codes I am used to seeing for these shafts are OPIRS and OPIAL. The OPAR code doesn�t agree with anything I have seen or have found on the web. I need to install this as a regular shaft and because of the CPMs and the code I have a feeling this is an A/R combo shaft. Is this correct or is it actually a normal R/S combo shaft? Anyone know?   This is part of the PCS practical test and therefore I�m keen to be accurate with this shaft. I hope no one thinks this is cheating. I don�t think it is because I think it�s legitimate to use resources available to you.   Cheers Graham
