Hutch Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yep U right nob san, I think most high end shafts have the graphics added after testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundowner Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I just do logo down. I have never felt the difference of spines in my clubs. On the Regio, I do see a line added with a marker at the butt section and the logo aligns with it. I am assuming they have done some simple spine alignment before putting the paint and logo on. Great review!! Yes, Nippon spines the shaft before painting. If you see the high fade (Logo down) in the future: Just rotate the shaft 1-2 degree (really mininal) clockwise and lock what happens.. The Nippon Regios are great for fine tuning the trajectory using the spine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nippon Regios are great for fine tuning the trajectory using the spine! Great to know! But trying to visualize the mechanics here. What does turning the shaft 1 to 2 deg clockwise do to the head at impact? Does it bring the head back to square earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Rotating the spine can promote fade or draw slightly, nothn that will fix either or in the swing though, can enhance the characteristics of the shaft by going with its bias.

Before making a new topic on spine alignement (as it´s for me and others one of the most important fitting parameters..). One experiment for you if you like: Take a shaft where a fitter marked the spine (without head, without grip): Just swing (more slowly) the shaft only with your left hand and lightest grip. Than begin to rotate the shaft clockwise (maybe everytime: 2-3 degree) and everytime lock where the shaft wants to go (higher, lower, more to left, more to right). You will find out you also have diff. swing planes high-back - high-forward or high-back lower forward ..! A great clubfitter told me: Spines are really great .. "if you know where they are.."

Hi mate, love this topic, a new thread on this subject would be great. I usually find the spine and then use the same theory but with a laser weight on the tip of the shaft pointing at a blackboard wall. Any way this is for another thread and another time for more in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 So the latest AAA has been sold out for a while now but the new Fujikura EVO II series in 661 and 757 have somewhat similar characteristics we have found at a much lower price point ($250) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
