What exactly does the spining do and why aren't all shafts done? Too expensive to align them?
What do flighted shafts mean also?

That's a nice set of sticks. What don't you like about them?

We can sit around Sherwood, drink beer, watch golf on t.v., and eat wings.

First, every golf shaft has a "spine", and that spine is stiffer than the rest of the circumference of the shaft. (Nobody should argue that the spine is not the stiffest part of the shaft, but proof can be seen when rotating a shaft on a frequency machine. You get a stiffer reading when the spine is oriented the direction the shaft is deflected.)
The theory of spine aligning is that the golf shaft will perform better if the shaft is aligned in the clubhead so that the spine is "downline" with the direction of the golf shaft (so the spine would be in the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position - also called the neutral position.)
Indeed it does seem to make sense that if the stiffer spine is in the 1 o'clock position within the shaft (or 2 o'clock, or 5 o'clock, or 7 o'clock, or 11 o'clock, etc.), then it is highly likely the shaft won't perform as well as if the spine is in that downline 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock neutral position.
It is interesting to clamp down a properly spine aligned club into a club vice, and pull down hard on the head, and release it. The clubhead moves rapidly back and forth in a reasonably straight path. Then try it with a club that is NOT properly spine aligned. The difference is amazing.... the shaft/clubhead bounces all over the place, in about 50 different directions. The shafted club with the properly aligned spine position moves in a much straighter path.
Rifle Tour Flighted shafts are very different than almost any shaft on the market. They are designed so that the kickpoint of the shaft is lowered as the shaft length increases to help hit long irons higher and short irons lower

I was pretty sure I knew about the basics of spined shafts
I just don't know why they don't test them all before installing them in clubs

cost! OEM's try and produce items as low cost as possible. Weight is a big thing also. most maunfactures dont weight sort shaft either. They could all weigh different amounts. True temper dynamic gold shaft tour issue shafts are the only set that has these tight specs within .1 grams

Dang, what if they're not tour issue. Just plain ole' true temper dg?
Posted on 5/10/13 at 7:05 am to BRgetthenet
weights could be +/- 5 grams each.
Posted on 5/10/13 at 7:06 am to theBeard
I know it's cost
But it seems stupid to not make it assemble the components as accurately as possible when they spend so much money on r&d
Maybe the cost/benefit is just too low

frick.. Another round washout today.

I grabbed a guy's Diahmana (sp?) Tity 909 yesterday that was 65g, and then my 910 at 72g. Can definitely feel the difference. Club heads are probably different weight, but it was noticeable.

frick that! We're playing!

The money spent is on the tour players not the averge joe. When you buy a drive off the rack say from EW it might be stamped 9 but likely it 10-11 degrees. OEM's dont really care about you and I. They just want us to see the newest thing on tv and run out and buy it.

that shitty part titleist uses these cheap made for shafts in clubs. They want you to pay the $256 upcharge to get the real thing.
