Have you ever bought a set of clubs which all performed well, but one or two clubs where your favorites?
With little effort you hit great shots with these specific clubs. If they felt great about every swing, there is a good chance these clubs are properly spined. Why are these clubs spined when I did not order them spined? Name brand companies and other smaller golf companies randomly place shafts in there clubs. Some companies place the shaft logo on the top. Shafts are randomly printed, which places the shaft logo in random spots. This means that it is possible for a shaft to be randomly spined properly.
How do I know if my existing clubs are spined?
If you have graphite shafts and all the logos are facing up or in the same direction then you clubs are not spined. Steel shafts are harder to determine. You need to look on the lower end of the shaft. (towards the club head) You may see a small silk screen print. (Exp: True Temper) If this print is lined up on every shaft, then your shafts are not spined. It is possible that these prints could be randomly located on your steel shafts and the shafts still not be spined. This is why it is harder to determine the spine of steel shafts.
What kind of spines are there?
There are 3 common types of spines:
Draw Spine - Ball flight pattern is from right to left for a right handed golfer.
Neutral Spine - Ball flight pattern is straight
Fad Spine - Ball flight is from left to right for a right handed golfer.
What can I do to hit the ball straighter?
You will want to pick a spine that is opposite of you MOST COMMON ball flight.
Here are some examples: (Reverse for Left handed golfers)
MOST COMMON ball flight is a Draw from Right to Left.
Then you will want to pick a FAD SPINE to hit the ball straighter.
MOST COMMON ball flight is straight.
Then you will want to pick a NEUTRAL SPINE to hit the ball more consistent.
MOST COMMON ball flight is a Fad from Left to Right.
Then you will want to pick a DRAW SPINE to this the ball straighter.
How will spinning help me if I hit the ball straight?
If you hit the ball straight spinning can help you change your ball flight. You can pick a draw spine to help you hit a draw. Or you could pick a fad spine to hit a fad. If you spine your shaft with a Neutral spine then you will hit more consistent straight shots. Why, because the head of the golf club will maintain more stability during you swing allowing the club head to stay more online without wiggling left or right creating off center hits.
