At Hotstix we yes used the rifle chart (scale). We were given a frequency and
just made the adjustment at the clamp for the type of shaft it was. So far as
how far towards the head of the club off the finished length we put at
the inside edge of the clamp. Here at KZG we just change clamps in the

I understand the frequency difference, but I don't understand your statement
about using the Rifle scale (I assume you mean freq chart) for non rifle
products. If you thought a person needed a 6.0 in a Rifle, but they wanted TT,
would you then build the TT, using the normal Rifle chart, to an 8.0 (20cpm
higher)? Or did you have another chart, with all the Rifle slope lines just
plotted 20 cpm higher and call it the "Non-Rifle...5" clamp" chart?

we always went off a rifle scale but yeah the frequency's were different. I
didn't have the luxery of doing comparisons when I was there but here I have
found about a 20 cycle difference between clamps until you get to the higher
frequency sets and the shorter irons in those sets the difference increases log
rithymically Did I spell that right? LOL!)

Robert,
Regarding the method at HotStix......I assume that if you were going to build
irons for a specific player, you'd have one frequency target for Rifles and a
different for non-Rifles because of the different clamping length which causes
different cantilevered beam lengths. Is that correct? Do you remember what
the frequency difference was?

........When I was at HotStix we had a machine that used a drill chuck type
clamp. We used it for both Rifle and non Rifle shafts but we measured the shaft
length differently. First we measured the total length of the club then for
the non Rifle shafts we went 5" towards the club head, marked it and then
placed that mark at the front of the clamp. Same with rifles but we only went
2.5" toward the club head and placed that at the front of the clamp.
