In the early 1970s, Joseph Braly was the chief scientist for Brunswick Shafts, which eventually became Royal Precision. He came up with the idea of frequency matching at that time, and ran a bunch of human-golfer tests to see what frequency really meant. The outcome of these tests was that di

Andre, A flat line set produces the same frequency across the set, but I don't know if that is necessarily the same "flex". Precision (and many others) believe that "flex" is a combination of frequency AND length, hence the sloped line for matching a set. Shortening a club at either end (butt

Hi Andre, Yes, when you shorten a shaft the frequency goes up (hence it's stiffer?). Because the butt section is stiffer than the tip section trimming the butt leaves you with a softer shaft than if you trimmed the same amount from the tip - but the shaft is still stiffer than it was at the
