When
you find a shaft that will first rotate clockwise, then counter-clockwise, then
repeats itself with continual reduction in laser diameter. A real keeper
for demo purpose. Turn this shaft to the marked FLO line and it tracks on
a vertical or horizontal line until it comes to rest. Just like a wooden
yardstick, don't turn it off either of the 2 planes. The worst shaft
I have is a Harrison UL Pro 4.5. This baby will never see a game but does
make for a great visual.
Thanks HarryS
I usually demonstrate it by simply twanging a
blank shaft using a bench vise, V block clamp and tip weight. I use a shaft
I've pulled out of a Callaway that I have premarked with the spine and FLO. I
start by twanging it with the logo up and show how much bob and weave we get.
I let the shaft oscilate until it's almost dead because it shows how the shaft
will seek the plane of least resistance. I then rotate to FLO and repeat. They
are always amazed and it's simple and effective. Using a quality OEM shaft
also achieves another goal and that is that it shatters the mythe that OEM
shafts are automatically going to be a quality product.

There is no such thing as Spines
I suggest
this simple test for doubters and customers alike. Take a steel shaft and a
graphite shaft. Place in your spine detector and mark the spine. Now take
the marked shaft and put it on your deflection board with the mark facing
you. Place the weight one inch from the tip and allow shaft to bend. Mark on
deflection chart where the center of the tip comes to rest. Rotate the shaft
to have the mark up or down and repeat the deflection measurement. Mark
where the center of the shaft tip comes to rest. Most often you will find
the two deflection marks about one half a flex apart. HOW CAN THE SAME SHAFT
HAVE TWO DIFFERENT FLEXES? The weaker the "spine" the less flex
difference you will see!.
This is a great sales tool to use on your
customers! Show the value of your services.
Try it!
