Re: Proper position of spined shaft?

I spined a set of Rifle 4.5flex .355 taper to use in my Ping eye2s

I did find this in the RP rifles. The instructions read to find the strongest NBP and mark it N1, find the other NBP that is not as strongly flexed and mark this one N2. Then do the same finding the spine.

I have not figured how to FLO yet. These were my first attempt at spine finding so I just went with finding the spine. Not sure if this is going to have a negative effect?

I did find my instructions and it states he as well as 80% of golfers prefer the NBP or neutral @ 9oclock or toward target at address and excellent ball strikers would prefer the spine @ 9oclock

I still have some confusion but my ADD is kicking in so I'll email Jerry Ballard about them, cause if I continue this post will ramble

Thanks all
