Andre, I assume BC means butt clamp. Before I had my Neufinders, I didn't have a frequency meter and used this chart for "starting points"...it was more prominent on their website then. (I had to really hunt to see if it was still there.) I talked to them about the numbers back then, maybe 5 years ago, but can't remember for sure what they said about them. Think the different butt clamps with different tip weights come out to the same cpm number. Guess someone with a frequency meter could confirm that.
I can confirm the flex difference on my NF4 now, though. A PE-A on my NF4 reads 2.76kg raw and 2.94kg tipped 1". In some e-mail NF4 discussion, .03 kg on a calibrated NF4 was said to be about 1 cpm (at least that's what I wrote down). That would make an inch about 6 cpm...just what's on the chart.

Does B/C mean butt clamp? And is SK fiber using 2 different weights for measuring butt frequency with 2 different clamping fixtures?

A few years ago, I played a 48" driver with S-flex at 236 cpm. You can see on the chart there's a 6 cpm drop for ever added inch of length. Those numbers would make a 48" driver at 254 cpm about a XX, I guess. Bernie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
