Yes indeedy! You may recall we went through this exercise a couple years ago, with no significant results or agreement.
I've said many times that the letter designation for flex, like the number designation for irons is essentially meaningless. Every mfr has a different take on what's "R" or "S" or the like. That's one of the things I liked about the now gone Precision Composites method. I ordered shafts in frequency ranges rather than by letter. That company of course offered "R" flexes but with a choice of R+, R, and R-. Each of which was in frequency range. I used to order, for example, 3 of each, putting the higher flex (higher freq) shafts in the short irons, and the softer freqs in the long irons. Better still, all PC shafts had long tip lengths for additional tweaking. And, they were inexpensive. I got mine direct from the distributor in So CA. Numbers on irons are the same, misleading thing. I hit my 28 deg 7 iron farther than you hit your 32 deg 7 iron, for instance. So there's another good item to get exercised over ;-) TFlan --- On Thu, 12/11/08, Harry F.
