I understand that, it’s why I laugh at all the cripples that I’ve seen but not only 1, but numerous different brands and variations of LD shafts without seeing any real discernible difference in the quality of their play as a result of it.
If you value what you term, “consistency” in your equipment, I.E. that by utilizing a particular brand, or type of LD shaftand that helps you, then I’m glad for you. I am of the belief that we are all quite different, and a player is free to utilize whatever they like and can afford. What I can’t get behind are those that approach me in shock and disbelief that I haven’t chosen to guzzle the kool aid as they did.
