Shaft run-out, what is acceptable not to affect stroke. When you have your eyes at table level, roll shaft and gap from table to shaft varies +/- .010 to .015 is that good? When does that gap dif. just become a mental thing?

Thanks

Unless less a shaft is very warped or at the very end near the ferrule, I feel, that it has little affect, if any, on the shot. It surely can screw with ones head though.

amen, So how do you deal with the mental side?
I know I will never be that good as to tell the .010+ dif. I am 52, my body moves more than that ;o). But it is still there.
thanks
 
Depends where the runout is. ;)
If it's behind the bridge hand after follow thru, I dougt if 15 thou would make a difference.
 
To solve the mental side of things. Get a new shaft and vow to never get down and look at it while rolling it on a table. You will never notice when it develops and few thousandths of roll out and it won't shark you.
 
I aggree with what's been mentioned already. The mental is probably the biggest obsticle depending on how bad It is, and where It's located. I could certainly understand It having an effect on some people though. If I just get a small nick in My shaft It drives Me nuts, but I have cleaned shafts for people that had as many as 30 or more dents in their shaft, and It did'nt seem to effect their usual level of play too badly at all. I've seen simular with warps in a shaft. I'm with Chris in that I'd rather not even know It's there in the first place If I could avoid It. I am guilty of rolling Mine out every once in a while though, but that's to make sure My shaft & butts are still holding up and rolling straight. I don't do It too often, just every once in a while.
