If the spine (NBP) is aligned this way then the shaft is bending against the weakest axis - would this not lead to greater consistency?

I posed this question to Dave - his response - more analysis is required - perfect engineer.

Also posed this to Kauffman - his response - buy shafts with little to no spine - very practical.

Something for you to think about - or test if you feel inclined and have a very large spine shaft in your discard pile (and the snow ever melts).

Shafts with large spines are perfect for putters.

I still find the FLO plane and orient it accordingly, as I believe this trumps the spine. That said, depending on where I find FLO, I'll place the spine to either 12 or 3 (away from target).
