Jeremy,
 
Arnie is right some drill chucks weigh 258 grams and you can open the bit end and set it to the insertion depth of the hosel and tighten it down onto the tip of the shaft to check the overall frequency at full length or finished length within a set.

sorry to be dumb but what exactly is a 258 drill chuck?

Lloyd,

For finished clubs I use a Mitchell Frequency machine with 5” clamp.  I shim the head to the shaft and measure to length and mark.  I then let the butt stick out of the clamp on the other end to the previous marked line for length.  In checking shafts in a set before cutting to see which has less flex I use a 258 drill chuck at full length. Then I use a Colin Dick spinefinder to check the spine and mark alignment.

5" clamp length and appropriate head weight and shaft length. The shafts are made for me to may specifications. In my fittings I find 60% of those I test outside the standard range of OEM shafts, 30% below and 30% above the range.

llhack,

For what it's worth, how do you measure your frequencies (clamping length, tip weight, etc.)?

Thanks,

GregZ

she ended up wanting the set with a 7 and 9 wood and wants me to look for softer shafts



How about Junior shafts? Ahhh the joys of building for ladies.

Hot pink grips on "pink mist" shafts "pink sunset" paint fill to match my bag - I know someone makes 'em! Oh, and by the way "I need "oversize" grips, double ribs please with marks to show where to put my fingers, though this one is short and this one is a little crooked and I like to keep my nails long". "Do you reduce the price because my clubs are shorter than the others I see?"
Sure, whatever you want!
