The example I illustrated was more prone to stock taper tipped shafts, as confirmed by other builders on this forum a few years ago, since they do not have the benefit of weight sorting prior to assembly. Since shaft wt. correlates positively with shaft cpm., then slight deviations in wall thickness will yield a change to raw frequency. Some factory weight sorted steel shafts do not hit the factory own specification goal posts (+/- tolerance) on weight. I have the blueprints on the main shaft I've used from the manufacturer, and I've conducted statistical capability analysis on multiple boxes of shafts, so I know their true quality level when pulled at random out of a box. The cost of a shaft doesn't guarantee it to be of higher consistency than one a few dollars cheaper.
As a club builder, you can take the variation out of any build if you 'know how' and take the extra time, as I weigh sort, spine align, then frequency sort, so not prone to the inherent manufacturing variability.
Chris maybe you should benchmark one of my assembled sets (hybrid to last wedge) on quality against your own premium build, then you can stop the rhetoric of suggesting everything you use is of premium 'high cost' quality vs. everything I use is of inferior 'value level' quality. I'll put my build up against anything ever assembled.
