Re: shaft puring...a benefit to an amatuer?

The simplest way to determine the location of the shaft's spine is to roll the shaft gently on a smooth and level surface until the shaft oscillates to a stop. The heaviest portion of the shaft (spine) will settle to the bottom, say the 6 O'Clock position. I mark the top (12 O'Clock position) with a fine tip Sharpie and repeat the process a couple more times to make sure I have marked the spine. I install the shaft noting the spine. I have shafted my driver, 3 wood, Gap and Lob Wedges with this method and these clubs perform wonderfully. My 3 Wood (an original Titleist PT 15 degree w/2 bars) is definitely my "go to" club. I will most likely be spining my irons during the off season. I hesitate to do so as I am simply striping my irons so well I am afraid to mess with them.
