Allow for change in length and head weight? Well as noted, my "standards"
are based upon a set of weights, lengths, and clamp length. I don't want to
get into a long dissertation on fractions of a frequency since for the most
part in a given set of circumstances the fractions are irrelevant.
For instance, using the below cited example, if the head weight is a little
heavier, or the clamp distance is a little shorter, or the shaft is a little
longer, there'll be a little slower freq reading. Does that mean much?
Probably not. The shaft is the shaft. One could test a shaft at say, 41"
with a 300 gram tip weight and 3" clamp. That shaft will freq really soft.
OTOH, test the same shaft at 36" with a 200 gm tip weight and it will test
out like a telephone pole.
That's why I have my own personal "standard". If a shaft freqs as below . .
. it's an "R" flex. No more, no less. It works for me.
If you have a freq meter you can develop your own favorite measurements.

TFlan, good positive stuff--- Given those numbers as a base what are
the CPM variances for X ,S ,A & L flex
and how do you allow for change in length and head weight.

I have my own personal standard for shaft flex and to hell with OEM's.
For my "R" flex, I like 300 cpm, ungripped, at 38 1/2" in a 5" clamp for
a 254 gram 5 iron head, toe up, hard spine at 12:00.
I like 240 cpm at 45" with a 200 gram driver head for R flex.
I don't care if anyone agrees or disagrees. I like these numbers. They
work for me and for my customers.

It's still real early in California, so TFlan is probably still asleep.
Therefore, let me be the first to say...
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS!
