Pat, I don't have an answer for you... But I'm not sure there IS an answer until the following question is answered.
I assume that the spines are not all the same "size". That is, some may be a 2cpm difference between the stiff and soft directions, and some a 10cpm difference. Given that, you can't frequency-match the clubs in all directions. So which direction is "the" frequency, the one you want to match? Is it the stiff or the soft? Is it the 12-6 plane or the 3-9 plane? I'd be interested in real data, pointers to studies, or at least discussions of shaft behavior in the swing. I'm not interested in hand-waving. Cheers!

I have been frequency matching clubs for some time now and I am now trying to go one step further. I would like to start building clubs that are frequency matched, swingweight matched and spined.(Graphite shafts) What is the best way to go about this? Finding the spine first then sorting them, or sort them first- match them to the heads dry fit and then find the spine? I tried the later and found that the slope would be off. I use the club scout III as my means of testing frequency. Is there a step by step procedure that should be followed? TIA Pat McGoldrick On Target Golf
