Robert:
The USGA says no such thing. The USGA's position is that shafts can be
analyzed and oriented so that they will play as if they were made to have
similar bending properties in all directions. They also state that a shaft
cannot be oriented so as to intentionally create a specific type
No, not a Sharpie. A crayon. As long as the customer thinks he has an
accurately spined shaft he's happy. In fact, why even bother finding the spine?
Just put a label on the shaft under a "spined" mark: "Spined by TFlan's Custom
Golf Shop". Who can really tell the difference?

You know personally I spine all clubs I make unless asked for logo up or down.
When I was at Hotstix I personally Pured over 100 shafts. Most of those shafts
were expensive graphite models for drivers and woods. we had several customers

I have articles on FLO (not flow) and spine at:

stationary laser...mark it on the shaft...and install it in the head on the

close. When the epoxy sets, I check FLO again, with a small laser att
Hi Robert,
Too many tend to think of "bending" in the static sense. Because swinging
a club is a very dynamic process you have to consider the dynamic aspects
of club behavior. Consider a very simple model of club dynamics and
consider two planes; the first being the swing plane, call it SP

I don't know, but I've built plenty of clubs that FLO'd when done. And some
that didn't. And I did not take them apart to try to correct it. :)

My own opinion is yes, floing *can* make a difference. This is just my
observations, mostly with my own swing since I know it. But I think the
difference is usually subtle and probably often nothing. If I am making clubs
for someone who truly cares about their game and can feel the difference
I don't think it costs $50. Maybe if done on an already built club that has to
be taken apart. I'm pretty sure it's less than $20. But otherwise I agree
that I won't be spending any more money on it.

Don is right about the flowing. we had plenty of shafts that after being Pured
would almost go in circles when you went to frequency them.
Here is a question. Does flowing really, I mean really make a difference? When
you flow a shaft your only checking to see that it moves consistently throu
I have to comment about what a waste of money Puring is. When I worked at
HotStix all my shafts were Pured and I didn't see any difference in ball flight
or consistency. It's a cool concept but in reality as long as a human being is
involved it's not going to be as accurate as you might think.
The grading is before puring, I assume? I had some pured Rifle graphites but I
forget what info was provided.
Those that I bought did not all FLO on the pured line. I ended up doing my own
FLO-ing.
As far as consistent grade shafts that FLO easily, I tend to like UST.

--- On Fri,
I had two shafts SST pured by Golf works. One expensive shaft one mid
priced and both were "grade b". Is grade b about the best you've
found or are some grade a? If so, which were grade a?
