Jim, It could be the way your frequency counter is designed if it has an optical sensor. I'll explain: The simplest way to make an typical optical sensor results in the frequency counter to start counting when it sees a change from "dark to light" (i.e. when the shaft just stops blocking the light

The "old" Precision Composite Mach 22's changed only 1-2 cpm per iron if you used all the same stiffness shafts. Tom Flanagan was, I think, the first to post that if you wanted to get a "normal" slope out of a set of these shafts, you needed to order three different stiffnesses. for example: 3

Jeremy, Roll is a big factor. Tom's trajectory software (which I'm just starting to look at) says "Actual results will vary with the green surface conditions, but data calculated here is representative" Where I play the course is nearly always too wet and you frequently get one yard of roll. Rece
