The Importance of Spine Alignment in Golf Clubs
Why is spine alignment of a golf club shaft so important?
Every golf club shaft has a spine, unless it has been specifically manufactured in a way that one would not inadvertently be created. This has been achieved by one company who have patented the process of producing a graphite shaft with no spine, however at $500 a pop that's a hefty price tag, especially if you carry 2 or 3 woods in your bag.Graphite shafts have less of a spine, but they still have one. Created by the uncontrolled overlap of material as it is wrapped around the mandrel.
Steel shafts, due to the manufacturing process have a much more prominent spine which is ...
Arccos: Amateur Golf's Technical Revolution
How Arccos has given amateur Golf the gift of technology!

Firstly, let's take a look at how Swingweight is measured...
The club (including fitted grip) is placed on the Swingweight scale with the clubhead toe pointed to the floor. The Swingweight scale has a pivot point at exactly 14 inches from the butt end of the club, and a weighted sliding "selector" which is positioned to the desired Swingweight on the scale. In order to balance the club to the desired Swingweight you will add weight to either the tip end using tip weights, or at the butt end, traditionally achieved by using a small canister concealed within the ...
