Hey TFlan,   Had the same thing about a month ago.  Guy asked me to reshaft his Srixon with TX-90 "R".  I asked how he knew they would work for him.  He said "because I hit the heck out of them now".  OK...well.. you shouldn't... "oh yeah, I hit 'em great and that's what I want".  OK...resha

Brian, NBP is softest side of shaft. With a spinefinder, there is usually an N1 and N2 about opposite each other on a sheet wrapped graphite shaft, N1 being the softest and N2 being the stiffer of the two Ns. Same for the spines, with S1 being the stiffer of the 2 Ss. The N-planes and S-planes are

John, I agree with your assessment that OEM "custom fitting" and reduced OEM pricing is not good news for a lot of custom clubmakers. I have said before that I thought this rash of super high priced shafts, many of which are available as stock and/or upgrade shafts in OEM clubs, is also an attemp
