Thank you Don.
The beam length is 36 but the weight is only 249 gms.
How much of an effect will the lighter weight have on the reading?
I just got this and I'm "playing with it" and want to learn more before
start building anything using info I'm not sure of the meaning!
It has been already helpful just knowing the "raw" data on that I know
before building anything which of 2 or 3 same model shafts should play
stiffer.

When you post frequency numbers it helps to list the beam length in
order to compare I assume you are talking about iron shafts at 36"
and a weight of 255g

Can anyone help me with understanding frequencys on raw shafts or

different flexes?
I recently purchased a Golfsmith frequency meter and started playing
with it using a few different shafts.
I first put in a Harrison Tour Classic 2 listed as a/r flex @ 290cpm.
First few tests were about 285, then clamped it a bit more and get
291, so assumed the meter is working as well as it can.
Have since tested two sets: first a set of Tommy Armour branded
shafts by UST that have an "L" under the UST logo. I get from 285 to
298 (raw shafts with 249 gm weight)
Second set: Comp 3 set by UST listed as "mid-firm". I get 304 to 313
with most at 307 to 310.
My questions are these:
Do these frequencys seem to be correct?
and is there somewhere where I can find a chart of what frequency
ranges are generally accepted as L/A/R/S/XS etc?
I'm aware that the ranges will differ from mfg. to mfg., but I'm sure
someone has worked with enough different shafts to come up with a chart.
TIA
