That's pretty much exactly what I do, with the exception of weighting
the actual heads to whatever weight I need them to get my projected
swingweight (might be based on a 254g 5-iron in one set and a 260g
5-iron in another set).

The 254 gm tip weight I use is a modifed drill chuck. I use it to
establish freqs on sets of uncut iron shafts. That's for sorting them.
When putting clubs together I use the actual heads, which are also
weighted to so-called "standard" weights starting with an assumed 254
gram 5 iron head, then up and down the set 7 grams apart. On woods I use
the heads after weight sorting the shafts. Fairly basic stuff.

TFlan you are indeed correct, it's important to also state the
tip weight
used. For irons and woods
I use a 205 gram drill chuck. What do you use for wood shafts,
do you still
use 254 grams or do you
drop it down to 205 gram wt.?
I wonder what the difference in cpm would be using a GS 5" butt
clamp
going from 205 gram to 254
gram tip weight? Anyone knows, I would like to know what the
drop in cpm's
would be with using an
extra 49 grams wt.
Thanks, Harry Schiestel

How come you don't mention tip weight? That is certainly a major
factor in
determining freqs
regardless of clamp insertion depth.
Freq'ing with grip on only shows fewer cpm's and has nothing to
do with
the flex of the shaft, It's
simply a matter of choice, as long as the choice is consistent,
IMO. I prefer
no grip testing. And,
I use a 254 gram tip weight and a 5" clamp insertion.
