Geez Bernie!
We've not met but as fellow
"Chicopee/Springfieldians," man . . . I hope things work out. I did the open
heart thing a few years ago. It made me a better person( . . . I don't
give a shit what people think ;-) Our email arguments, agreements, and
discussions are most enjoyable, enlightening and ultimately pointless when
compared with this malady.
Hang in pal. We're all with you.

Subject: ShopTalk: Time out and a new way
to match shafts
ST'ers,
Won't be playing any golf for a while...had my catheter implant
surgery for peritoneal dialysis last Friday...two sore holes in the abdomen
and a 4" tube hanging out. Can use it in two weeks and get my strength
back, I hope. Funny that the last two weeks before the surgery, when I
had almost no leg strength or endurance, I played some of my
best golf in a couple of years... a 69, 72 and 73 in six rounds
(with a couple of 80-somethings).
But...in the meantime, I have a bunch of clubs to make for friends, so
I'm certainly not bored. And...I have Dan's NF2 shaft matching machine to play
with. What a neat device! So simple to use once I saw how it works. Set beam
length, measure deflection per inch, figure target deflections, snap in a
shaft, mark NBP, slide shaft to target deflection, mark tip and cut...viola! A
perfectly matched set of shafts with your choice of alignment to boot. Did
some fairway wood shafts with it today. Well, maybe that's simplified a bit,
but no clamping and unclamping to find the exact frequency is needed. Just
slide the shaft in the bearings until it hits the required target deflection
on the dial. Much faster to use to match a shaft set than a
frequency analyzer. Have two sets of iron shafts to match as soon as they
arrive. Will report how they go. (There must be SOMETHING difficult about
using this thing.)
