Dave: If you talk to any of the shaft manufactures they seem to
agree that profile is important. If you look at enough different
shafts there is a huge difference in profiles and I'm sure its not a
random happening but a detail design effort to get to a specific point.
I would like to believe this. I'm not sure I do. The shaft
manufacturers have a stake in our believing there is no such thing as
a generic shaft. That's what allows them to charge non-generic prices for them.
We briefly had a rep from a shaft manufacturer on one of the forums.
(Spinetalk? True Temper? Don't remember for sure.) He didn't last
long. Questions about profile difference were met with BS along the
lines of, "Trust us. We understand, but it's too complicated for
you." That attitude has me believing that shaft manufacturers will
only tell us self-serving stuff.
That said...
I too believe that from customer feed back profile makes a
difference in club performance for a given golfer and swing.
And I have myself experienced the difference. So I'm a believer. But
not because of anything the manufacturers tell me.
Cheers!

PS - Hey, I AM in curmudgeon mode today. I wonder why. Don't feel
particularly cranky. Had a good day, actually. I guess my training
and life experience has taught me to be skeptical first -- and I've
had a lot to be skeptical about today.
