Clearly you're looking for an argument and I ain't in the mood to argue.
So read my post to Roy, on shoptalk.
And play a little closer attention to the meaning of my post. I simply
think mfr's could and should provide a hell of a lot more information
than the alphabet. Fuji's "A" flex is different than say, UST's "A"
flex, often by a significant amount of freqs. I further expanded upon
the original post to a couple guys that you might want to take a look at
and ponder.
I'd very much appreciate a little more positive input as to what a mfr
should/could do with their products. So far all I've seen it stuff like
what you're offering which frankly, doesn't advance the discussion. Try
a little harder and ask questions or posit what you think should be
included in the info provided by mfrs, rather than asking me what I'd do.

I'm not being a wise ass, I'm simply asking you what you would do with
shafts marked 245, 251, 260 on the butt? This means nothing if they
are different shaft models. Butt frequency by itself does not relate
to how a shaft performs, nor can it be equated to shaft stiffness or
shaft flex.
What would you do with these numbers that you cannot do with A,R,S,X
today? They are both equally meaningless.

Oh please . . . spare me the tech bullshit. I took a first shot at
it. If you have a better idea present it rather than being a wise
ass.

Comparing the butt frequencies of unlike shaft models tells
you nothing more about that shaft than a letter designator does.
This is not really going to help - at all...

Choose a raw length. Choose a tip weight. Choose a clamp
length. Flick
the assembly. Write down the number and print it on the shaft.
