Fellows
I lurk on this forum to learn from you pros. I do use a laser set up that I attach to
the end of the shaft. I twang both horizontal and vertical to see if there is a
change. I will dig out where I purchased them and I will make photos how I atttach
them to shafts. i use a white wall card board 5 feet away with a straight line
horizontal and vertical. I personally believe that if you do not hang weight and do it
horizontal, the reading is false(my belief only). I've been a engineer tooooo long. I
use the same type laser to line up grips. works good on putters also. I set mine up in
a bridgeport mill with a air clamping device(has a regulator so I can repeat clamping
force) that I built. At the same time, I check the cpm while still clamped up. I have
the fixture set up so that i can slide shaft any distance out the back so that i can
check frequency before I cut off. Hope this helps and doesn't confuse.
thanks
