Re: ShopTalk: Bag quest
Hi Mark I found a bunch of places - mostly online retailers - by searching on google for viper golf bags or even viper 2180 golf bag. Check it out, see if anything is in your area...

ShopTalk: Bag quest
A little off topic, bu I am needing assistance in locating a golf bag to replace some stolen items. I am looking for a Viper 2180 in black. This is a conventional bag with a 15 way divider. Any help would be appreciated (GS has discontinued this bag and is out. Is also know at times as a Viking 2180). Mark
Re: ShopTalk: History of Frequency
Peter T I built my first frequency meter in 1972 and still use it, except that I have changed the clamp length to the more standard 5" instead of the original 8" I used. By knowing the frequency of the first mode of vibration of the golf club you can relate the time of one quarter of a cycle to the time between club release in the swing and ball impact. It is this time that the club must return from the flexed position or peak load back to straight and square at ball impact. I am not allowed to say what fitting system dose that for you but there is one. Initially the frequency meter was only used to match clubs in a set. This frequency was the best measurement of club stiffness because it included shaft stiffness, club length and club weight all as a single parameter. When I looked at patenting a frequency meter in 1973 I found a Patent had already been issued to a fellow in England who worked for Swillkin Golf. They used it to build and match flatline sets of clubs. I you want more information about the English patent I have a copy of it at my house in Florida. I will be back there in about 3 to 4 weeks. llhack - Original Message - From: Peter T.

My understanding is that frequency is, in essence, the resonant frequency of a shaft/club. If so, it escapes me as to why this has an effect on the golf swing. I can understand how the period of a finished club (i.e. the time it takes to complete a cycle when allowed to swing about the axis point) affects the golf swing. But the resonant frequency? I don't understand.A little history would be great.Thanks. -- Peter T. Sabin (aka phineasToad) neoGolfMatchingeMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ShopTalk: History of Frequency
PT, I'm no historian on this subject, but frequency is certainly a simple way to compare stiffness of one shaft with another. Ed Bozman was one of the first to use a frequency meter on this forum, and had some interesting background on it...but he left the forum about 4 years ago. Maybe somebody has a record of his remarks. (Build yourself an NF2 and you can forget all about frequency numbers.) :-) BernieWriteto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Peter T.

Re: ShopTalk: UPS pt III
TFlan I am happy you received your packages. The big brown brigade always delivers their packages, it may not be to the right address, but they get rid of them. Honestly, I would be willing to bet that your driver just wanted to get the packages off his truck (as an "ex-UPS driver" I know that drivers don't want to bring packages in the hub that will add to their load the next day). I will not discount the idea that the driver is "dim," that could entirely be possible. But I think it is more of an issue of laziness and a lack of pride in his work. You may have a bad apple, but the bunch may still be good. TR
