The Modern Guide To Shaft Fitting
Now Online FREE!
Originally published in 1992, "The Modern Guide to Shaft Fitting"
is the book that changed the way clubmakers (and for much of the
golf industry) view golf shafts. The "Modern Guide to Shaft Fitting"
verified what clubmaker's long suspected, that shaft specifications
that were thought to be the same are not comparable at all. In 1989,
Dynacraft Golf, in a joint venture with Apollo Golf, embarked on
a project to test various shaft specifications under one single
set of testing conditions. The tests would reveal variations in
testing methods and labeling flex, torque, bend point, kick point,
etc.
"The Modern Guide to Shaft Fitting" goes in-depth
on each of the various shaft parameters, plus ties it all together
using the most innovative shaft fitting system ever created, the
Dynacraft Shaft Fitting Index. The DSFI is a mathematical formula
for shaft stiffness, based on the measured frequency and torque
of a shaft, and then equates it into a player's swing speed. If
you want to truly learn about shafts and shaft fitting, then second
edition of "The Modern Guide to Shaft Fitting" is a must read. The
latest edition is partially re-written to reflect on what we have
learned the past eight years.

Shaft Fitting Addendum
The 2006 version of Dynacraft's trademarked shaft testing provides
up-to-date measurements of thousands of shafts. Included are technical
measurements of raw and cut weights, frequencies, torques, balance
points and recommended swingspeed ranges for each shaft. Included
is an explanation of how to use the Dynacraft Shaft Fitting Index
(DSFI) in total clubfitting applications. Written by Jeff Summitt.
