Homemade Shaft Spine Finder
If I do a search on the web and seek for opinion on shaft spinning/splining, I will get tons of results and opinions on its arguable performance and results, it is a well discussed and debated topic. There are no absolute agreement on either side of the discussion, from if-it-work to how NBP (neutral balanced position) should be aligned to if feel-spinning is accurate enough compare to frequency and flo spining. On top of all these, there is also certified SST Pured methodology that is copyrighted, licensed and very expensive method to determine how golf shaft should be aligned and how it provides consistency and stable feel to the player.
However, all participants that are into this field agree on one thing in common, there is certain orientation in shaft that will differ its bending and alignment. It is the different applications of this stabilizing method in golf that are not accepted uniformly in general.
To me, I could only summarize it into three words: Shaft Spinning Works.
...and it works pretty well.

Launch and Loft
High launch (low kick) shaft with low loft driver
or
Low launch (high kick) shaft with high loft driver?
It is argued that high loft and low launch provides more distance, low launch and high loft provides more control. Is there an optimal territory where we can have the best of both?
PGA trend has been moving away from low penetrating shot to high spinning shot. Obviously the main reason is to get the best control, when was the last time we heard PGA players choose a driver because of its distance?
LPGA trend, on the other hand, has been moving lower and lower loft. Obviously the main reason is to get the best distance, when was the last time we heard LPGA players need more control?
Now this is quite an interesting trend comparing PGA and LPGA.
