- EP19. - In this Video we talk Shop and walk you through the Spining Process to help you understand what is it, why it matters, how do it, and most importantly how it can help you play better. Spinning golf shafts is a Technique that has been around for a very long time and is just one more approach a Club Builder can take to improve the overall consistency and quality of the final club build.
Not to be confused with Pureing a Golf shaft, this process isn’t as deep or as expensive to that of what it costs to Pure Golf Shafts. But it does provide a similar result which is to help a Club Builder identify where the soft side is on the Golf Shaft.
So if you ever wanted to know more about Spining then roll up the sleeves and be prepared to dive in, as we are here to inform.

TXG brought me here. I really enjoyed how you explained everything in this video. Very clear and easy to understand. Thanks.
Very interesting! Now I’m wondering about my shafts haha!
Super vid. Got my entire bag done 2 years ago and really all it did was give me confidence knowing that my clubs are performing at their optimum so I can no longer blame the tools 🙈🙈🙈. Due in for a full bag fit soon (once this pandemic is over) and will definitely be getting it done again. This was fantastically explained, very simple for anyone to understand. Really super vid
I just found your video! Went for a shaft fitting for my driver, as I felt that I needed to recheck the fitting I had 18 months ago. Turns out that the original demo day driver fitting was not as detailed as should be. We spent 90 minutes gathering data, etc. on my original shaft, as well as about 10 other shafts. I ended up purchasing the shaft that was recommended for me, and since it was a premium shaft, it was spined by the manufacturer. When it came in, the adapter was set to the fitting recommendation and with the spine in the proper position. This was really the first time I had heard of "shaft spining!"
Thanks for sharing, truly hope it made a difference. Sorry my video didn’t get to you a little sooner....😀
Watched just about all of tour videos, this is the best one by far. The behind the scene build shop info is great, would love to also see some equipment tests, showcase of the tech you use (gears, flightscope, etc). Selfishly, would love to see a 921 forged review as your 1st equipment review
Another TXGer here. Nice vid. Great explanation of why you would spine a club. Looking forward to more.
Awesome work man! Great content ~ keep it up!
I have had my entire set spined - woods, irons and wedges - as well as MOI matched irons and wedges to my 7i. It makes a HUGE difference, and if you have never tried it, you won’t believe it. I can’t recommend it enough. We only have one guy here in Denmark who does this, and he is a f’n magician. Never buying a Club again without him “tuning” it.
Thanks for sharing, we agree as well...
Awesome .. love technical information
I like the elastic band analogy!
Thanks for the feedback.
More good info. Thx. Not sure if there is a part 2 for this topic, but if there is, will you also address the assembly of this spined shaft into a driver - specifically one that has an adjustable hozel? My sense is you would need to optimize your loft and lie angle setting in fitting first, then get your shaft spined/pured and insert the shaft into that setting established in the fitting. Otherwise if you start making adjustments you lose optimization, right?
100% correct my man. We have to know what setting on the adapter we will be before we spine or pure, and in most cases once we identify the setting it usually never changes.
Hi thnx for sharing... Would you like to share also what laser (where to buy) you use and how that's fixed to the (200gram) drill head ?
I picked it up from GolfWorks, and it’s built in to the adapter.
2 Questions...
1. Would this increase your smash factor?
2. Is this done with steel and graphite?
Great video!
1. I don’t spine with the goal to help someone hit it farther, but sometimes as a result of making the release more consistent it does happen as a by product.
2. Yes To both.
John, You say find the lowest number(softest point) and put it at the 3o'clock position, why not find the hardest point and put it in the 9oclock position? If I'm not mistaken, Sinjin(in Germany) and also the manual for the Auditor piece you are using, say find the hardest point(highest number) and put it facing the target(9 o'clock). or is it 6 of one and half a dozen of the other? That's assuming the soft(lowest number) and hard(highest number) spots are exactly 180* apart. Thanks for the video.
You would be correct the softest part of the shaft would indeed be exactly 180 from the stiffest part, so we are in essence saying the same thing...😀
@@SwingFit Okay great, thanks
Do any shaft manufactures Spine or Pure their shafts before shipping them out? Or does any major golf company do this on request?
Great questions some shaft companies will do this, such as VA, and Accra.
in what direction do you face the shaft after you find the weakside?
To the rear so 3:00 position for a RH golfer
So you would insert the shaft in the club head with the weak spot point at the target?
You can do this, but my preference would be to have the Weak side pointed the other direction so 3:00 position for right handed players.
@@SwingFitso during the downswing the shaft would flex to the harder to bend way?
Is the weakest spot automatically the one into which the shaft „snaps“ by itself?
There are several different thoughts in this regard, but from my personal experience I have found that the weak side will generally snap or unload to the stiff side more consistently if installed with the weak side facing the rear so 3:00 position for a right handed golfer and 9:00 for a left handed golfer.
@@SwingFit Okay, then I asked my question incorrectly. When the shaft was clamped in the machine, it automatically rotated into a position by itself. Is this at the same time the weak side with the lowest preassure? Quasi according to the principle of the spine finder?
Is the weak spot the spine?
Yes that’s correct.
Why don't you just skip the spinning and go straight to FLO? Also, once you find the FLO point how do you orient that in respect to the head of the club? Thanks
The flo test was just to help visualize the effect of a shaft in the spined position vs that of it not. So one of the many benefits with spinning shafts is that we can improve the uniformity and consistency throughout the set as we’ll be installing the shaft in the same manner regardless of which club we are building, weak side of shaft to 3:00 position for a RH golfer.
@@SwingFit thanks for the reply. So you suggest the spine to be in 9 o clock position for RH? From my research I have found individuals doing the following - seems like any orientation has some benefit-
Spine to Target - Accuracy
Spine away from target - Distance and height (since the soft part of the shaft is kicking towards the target)
Spine Up - eliminate shaft droop.
So just that we are on the same page the Spine is considered to be the weakest side of the golf shaft or soft spot, with that said i like to install it in the 3:00 position for RH. Could it be rotate 180 to the 9:00 position sure and I would likely do this if I have someone with a really aggressive transition. In regards to 12:00 for shaft droop yes you could do that but honestly you loose out on the benefit of where you would need it most, there if I have shaft droop, i simply would handle it through lie bend, or identifying a different shaft with a little more stiffer mid section.
So at what point during a build do the nerf guns on the wall get deployed? 😂 I kinda thought there would be a laser line that would project along the shaft to aid in the marking of shaft once the stiff side was selected, as the point has to be transfer to the tip section for the head placement does it not? 👍 This channel is going be hot! Glad I got front row seat.
We have nerf wars all the time trying to keep it real and fun.
but it wont be the same when a clubhead is attached to the shaft. the COG of the clubhead is offset from the centerline of the shaft and therefor affects the FLO. see youtube "golf shaft FLO"
Won’t argue that point at all, i like to spine as it still allows me to know where the weak side of any golf shaft is so I can install in the same position regardless of the club, head design or lie angle, as each one of these would change the flo result. Awesome response. Thanks for sharing
That lazer it not Correct... Reason why? Is when you pull the shaft for the first time is goed straight to his 180degrees line....same as when we swing the club... The moment you take the club on the backswing and then release it still travel on the same way...... You only load the shaft once and release you don't just load and release for the shaft to go around...... I think you should look @mobileclubmaker AJ will explain everything correct
Pretty good comment, but if I could offer this thought process. the shaft is loading and deflecting in all directions at all times and it’s never just on the downswing. don’t get me wrong this is where the load is occurring the most, but I promise you the shaft is deflecting on the way up, in transition, in the downswing and most importantly through impact. So the key take away if the video is if we understand where the spine is and install it in the same position for all clubs then we can ensure that every club through the set is going to deflect in the same manner..
