Lloyd, Miscalculated the "clamp adjusted" frequencies by adding 3 CPM to your numbers, when I should have added to my numbers. That means my clubs are all stiffer than your recommendations by about 5-6 CPM on the long irons to around 10 CPM on the PW. However, my woods are all still considerably more flexible than your recommendations. I guess this will be my last post on Shoptalk on this subject, as it appears no one except you and I are interested. If you like, we can continue the discussion off-line. Maybe I can send an iron or two and a wood out to you for a reshaft to test the new and improved FitChip recommended frequencies. As I have stated before, I think the FitChip has potential, but I questioned the way you were interpreting the data. It appears that you have done some more research into the data and made some modifications, especially with swings like mine that appeared to have very late to no release. Apparently, certain swing patterns had significant toe down deflections (I think) which the FitChip was mis-reading in some way as shaft load in the swing plane (or something like that). Anyway, we can continue off-line if you like.
Tedd Lloyd, I estimate that the 5" clamp length would add about 2-4 CPM to the readings I get at a 4.5" clamp length. Using a correction of 3 CPM per club, all of the irons are pretty much right on the money, or at least within 4 CPM down to the PW (297.3 vs. 298). BTW, I tried softer shafts in the short irons (flat-line on up to the 2 CPM slope I used), but found I liked the feel of the slightly stiffer shafts better. I think I will try a stiffer shaft in the 3 and 5 woods, and if I like the feel, I may reshaft the driver. Thanks for the input!

Your numbers below look good. You might try a little stiffer wood but long irons look very close considering the + or - 4 Cycle range that they should be within. Short Irons might be just a little stiff. llhack LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee(s) only.
