New Anodized Aluminum Golf Find The Spine Golf Tool Shaft Club Spine Finder Grip

This spine finder is a good product but the bearings are not as good as I expected. It still gets the job done. I have another one that's longer that has better bearings and is easier to use and find the spine of my golf shafts.

Awesome tool for a great price. Golf supply companies charge 20$ per shaft for alignment, so 3 shafts and it is paid for. Anyway, I am a 4 Handicap that loves working on my own clubs - probably as much as playing the game. I have 6 sets of irons and I re-shafted them all using this tool. The first round I played with my PING irons I hit 10 or 11 shots within 10 feet of the hole, of course I do tons of other customizing to my clubs but I feel this tool made a real difference.Use is plain as easy. Steel shafts are super easy since you can flex them as much as you want. All you do is pull down hard enough to get the shaft to jump into position. DO NOT do this with graphite. I notice some people are saying they have broken graphite shafts in the Spine Finder. Well - it is graphite. If you flex it enough in anything it will break. To spine a graphite shaft pull down gently - if the shaft does not jump into position rotate it a little and try again. Eventually you will get close enough to the spine that the shaft will jump into position with a minimal amount of flex. Great buy in my opinion. Good luck and hit'em straight.

Only one half of it arrived, i have had to pay to send it back in order to order a complete one

you have to bend shaft to far to get to work, broke light weight shaft, very disappointed in the product

Make sure you follow the instructions fully and try it out with a cheap shaft so you get the hang of it. I did not andit broke a $30.00 shaft. My fault not the product. Once you learn it's a good tool.

I was not a believer about the whole spines of shafts until I decided to go ahead and buy one of these and play with it. It is a very real feel in the shaft and certainly has tendencies when you begin to tinker with it. This thing is easy to use, Toolz Unlimited shipped it right out and I had a couple days later.Only problem is that you need the grips off to use this so you need to pull the grips or spine new shafts.

The piece works as advertised and looks to be made of top metals and bearings. The only problem I find is that there is no know standard for installing the shaft after you find the spine. Read the battle of experts on message boards such as Golfwrx.com. You'll seeeeee.. I guess the important thing is getting them all in the same consitent way. I did notice a more consistent trajectory in my irons after I did my spine alignment.

For steel shafts, this products is worth 5 stars.Make sure you have a sturdy clamp to hold the spine finder in place as you apply load to the tip.For graphite shafts, I have had 4 shafts now break at the point where the middle bearing resides.Three of them broke in mid swing.One was a Claymore shaft...very lightweight.Another was the RBZ XCON 5...also lightweight.The other two were HD6 shafts, not exactly lightweight.I have a fifth shaft which is exhibiting the same warning signs of mid-swing breakage, which will be a huge disappointment...that is a Nunchuk shaft...heavy shaft!I caution all buyers to either not use this on graphite or be very careful with amount of load placed on graphite shafts.Otherwise, this product should work well for its intended purpose.In particular, I use the Spine Finder to identify the Natural Bending Position of the shaft.From there, I put it in my Club Scout clamp and begin finding the FLO of the shaft, +/- 30 degrees off the NBP.I use the NBP merely as a reference to narrow the zone in which I am searching for the FLO orientation.Occasionally, I have to expand my search beyond this zone...particularly, I have found trouble finding the FLO in C-Taper shafts.Otherwise, FLO is located within the 60 degree zone, centered on the NBP.For graphite, it would be worth the money, and eliminate the risk, to simply have graphite shafts Pure'd instead, or go through the additional labor of expanding the search for FLO to the entire circumference of the shaft, and not use the Spine Finder at all.Good luck, and be forewarned!
