300Hz shaft frequency is way too high for ANY
kind of golf shaft. S? X? XXX? Driver? 9-iron?
You name it, 300Hz is still way above anything reasonable.

Hi guys,
I recently came across this article -
<http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a902510569~db=all~order=page>http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a902510569~db=all~order=page
and I thought Id offer it up for discussion
as I know one or two of you feel quite
passionately about the topic! As I am unable to
attach a PDF copy of the full paper here (list
server doesnt allow it), please email me back
if you are interested and I will forward you a copy by return.
Id be interested in hearing you comments. On
the face of it, the results seem to offer
support for limiting golf shafts to 48 (note
the last author is the Director of Research and
Testing for the R&A). However, there may be some
methodological issues with the different driver
setups (e.g., bend profiles and swingweight not
controlled for, etc.) and also isnt a >300 Hz
shaft frequency a little excessive for an S flex?
