RE: ShopTalk: Constant frequency

[Lloyd Hackman]

Michael   The two shafts with the same frequency will have exactly the same timing between full deflection (irregardless of amount of deflection) and getting back to straight. The flex pattern or flex point might cause a difference in feel but if the shaft dose not get back to straight it will not be at its peak performance.   llhack     ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Pogor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10/2/2003 5:36:56 PM Subject: RE: ShopTalk: Constant frequency Lloyd,   That may be so, but there is NO way that all shafts perform the same at the same frequency. I’ve hit too many shots with too many shafts, there are differences between shafts.   Again, as an example, if you build a Dynamic steel shafted club at 300 cpm (finished frequency), and a Rifle steel shaft at 300 cpm, there will be a pronounced difference in the stiffness of the shafts through the swing. The Rifle shaft will feel stiffer than the Dynamic shaft, no question.  You will not be able to “load” the shaft to the same extent. However, if you build the Rifle club at 292 cpm, you will probably feel that the two clubs now feel very similar in stiffness.   This is not just my observation, but also that of many dozens of other golfers who have hit balls with my test clubs.   Mike   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lloyd Hackman Sent: October 3, 2003 12:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ShopTalk: Constant frequency   Michael   Frequency is frequency independent of the shaft. If a certain frequency matches the timing of your swing why would the shaft frequency change unless you changed your timing. You can change your timing buy changing the length of your swing and a few other things but it is not the easiest thing to do.   llhack     ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Pogor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9/30/03 5:30:21 PM Subject: RE: ShopTalk: Constant frequency   It depends on what shaft you are talking about.   My frequency with irons is 300, yet I have made up drivers with frequencies reading between 235 cpm and 270 cpm.   It depends on the shaft!   For example, I think that the “adjustment factor” for a Grafalloy Pro-lite is about 17 cpm. Plus, depending on the depth of insertion into the head, that number can be affected further.   Mike   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 30, 2003 1:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Constant frequency   In a message dated 9/29/2003 7:57:39 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Flat line you clubs at the frequency of your favorite club. llhack Hi Lloyd and all, Lloyd would you say there is any rule of thumb for a flat liner as far as woods freq vs irons freq goes? The reason I ask is that of all my iron sets which are numerous the ones I seem to play the best are the ones that are flat lined at 294 cpm's, yet I know that my # with a driver is 242, I do know which 3 and 5 wds I hit best but don't know the freq's. I guess the rule of thumb question for a flat liner is do you subtract 50 cpm's from the irons to the wds. David
