Re: ShopTalk: Apache iron shafts

[Ron Kellison]

I'm familiar with the frequency marks (and the spine markings) on the shaft butt.  I've used them frequently in woods.  However, I seem to remember one ShopTalker who was adamant that even if the shaft measured the same on a meter as it was marked on the shaft, it PLAYED stiffer than the frequency measured, by at least 1/2 flex.  I just wanted to see if this experience was repeated by others contributing to this august body of experts. FWIW, I picked them up on E-Bay from a guy in upstate NY who was going out of business.  As we were relatively close geographically, I drove down to what was left of his shop to verify that they were new before I paid for them.
