    Right arm straightening at impact (5/10,000 second) is
    most timing demanding.

    Best shafts are designed with no spine. eg Nunchuk
    and are not timing demanding.

    I’m sorry, I don’t think that’s how those adapters work. I get what you are saying about spines and puring, and that’s a subject of some debate as to whether or not that’s something or a load of hooey. But the main point is that in order for the adapter to work, it has to be oriented in the clubhead a certain way. You “lock in” the loft and lie settings with the cogs, but then you have to insert them in alignement on the bottom of the head. If you keep turning it you’re just setting it to a different combination. It’s all in the Optifit instructions: https://www.callawaygolf.com/optifitinstructions/

    Also, totally off topic but does anyone else get huge Gary Cole vibes from Shawn Clement? You know, the guy that played Ricky Bobby’s dad, Reese Bobby?

      Any shaft that exhibits that these days shouldn’t be played.
