cuemakers-try a technology used in golf repair

[fan-tum]

I'm referring to the machines they use to measure frequency of vibration. It's used to determine the relative stiffness of golf shafts. As I remember, the shaft is struck somehow, and a radar device(not sure) measures how long it vibrates after impact.
Someone should be able to come-up with a similar counterpart for measuring the relative stiffness of cue shafts. You would get a numerical readout that would simplify a buyer's selection.

One more thing for the googans to nitpick.
" Hello, I want a shaft that registers superb high frequency on the googan scale".

"For my shaft, I'm looking for one that resonates on a sinusuidal half harmonic with a period of 50 milliseconds and with a angular frequency of not less than pi over 4 radians per second. And I'm looking for one that's endorsed by The Magician... what do you have?

One big issue is that in golf there is an understanding of what stiffness matches specific golfers, while in pool no such correlation exists.

Cigardave, I have your shaft, please send me $2,784.00 and your address.

I'll have what he's having

Does it come w/ a certified printout?
