Hello All,
I have read a lot of threads on here and just wanted to clarify some things about club making. Just to state some validity about me yes, I assemble clubs and disassemble them. All shafts have a spine. You can not see the spine of a club. It is not marked or anything like a human spine in that sense. A spine is where the club consistently bends. When you perform the spine test and see the club bouncing in all crazy directions that just means the spine wasn't aligned with the club face. If you are an amatuer player the spine doesn't matter. Your swing matters more. Unless, your a scratch or better golfer the spine of a club really won't affect your game nor give you that much of an edge. You just need to keep working on your swing. Trust me I know. Anyways, I am currently building an R1 Tour Driver and completely overhauling my golf clubs with new shafts and grips. Unless, you know what you are doing in regards to reshafting clubs don't do it. There is more to club making than people realize. I can go on forever but I'd rather not. I just wanted to give a little more insight to fellow golfers about golf clubs. Thanks for reading and good luck with your golf game.
