I specifically hope that the silk screens do not align, for exactly the same reason. I tell my customer that and they usually think it is pretty kewl to tell their buddies when they ask about it. Gives them a distinction from the rest.

While I was at the show I had a chance to talk to someone at the UST booth in depth about Wiess and companies "PURED SHAFTS" that UST offered as a service to their customers. He stated that after the spining it is then that they put on the silkscreening of their logo. When I told him that I did my own spining his reply was "Yes you can do that if you know how BUT the logo will not line up properly and your (MY) customer may not like it that way" My answer to him was "Yes but with the logo out of aliegnment he, my customer, would know for certain that I did indeed spine the shaft and did not just cut & glue his club together". The UST Salesman just looked at me and said yes that is one way of looking at it.

I have to wonder about this marketing. Other than the implications
already made about its morality, has he thought about the simple fact that:
At least amongst some here, we were already spining, and this
"advertising" (using the term exceptionally loosely) could drive
additional business to us (we hope) and we would choose not to use his
services, but instead promote our own over his. I am just not certain
how much thought went into this. The whole thing seems very knee jerk
without much forethought, vision or strategy.

Hi Mark,
It would seem to me to be an age old strategy.
You call a business posing as a customer and ask for the new Whamma Whamma 2000, what do you mean you don't have it, I would have come right down and bought one, then later someone else calls saying how would you like to be a Whamma Wamma 2000 dealer, its a good deal after all you don't want to loose sales do you.
