Don: I was under the assumption that the grading was done after the sst puring (for example if it fell in a certain range it was grade b, another for grade a). I was interested in finding out from those that use the SST Pure system in general which shafts ended up "grade a". Thanks for the not

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? TFlan "Th

the shaft actually bends on two planes (back and down) So is only checking it on one plane really doing anything? Sincerely, Robert Devino 14252 Delano St. Van Nuys, Ca. 91401 (818) 908-1691 (818) 770 -0475 cell From: Don M To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 7:54:30 AM Su
