Just build to frequency and forget what a shaft is labeled Sincerely, Robert Devino 14252 Delano St. Van Nuys, Ca. 91401 (818) 770-0475

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.

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. -t On Aug 4, 2008, at 2:07 PM, Tom wrote: 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. TFlan Tim Hewitt wrote:And exactly what do you think this would tell you? 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... -t On Aug 4, 2008, at 12:47 PM, Tom wrote: 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.
