1822.0. "Shaft ratings and flex points" by SU2PLY::LAMPASSI () Mon Jan 17 1994 13:16

    Can someone help or explain the subtley of shaft kickpoints or
    flexpoints as related to shaft stiffness.
    
     Was looking at some wilsons with shaft ratings of stiff and tour and
    the associated flex points were mid shaft and high shaft respectivly.
    
    
     How is this related to the type of swing, so I can determine the most
    appropriate...
    
    thanks

    	As far as I know, the stiffness of the shaft has nothing to do with
    the kick point.  I believe the kickpoint relates to the most flexible
    part of the shaft.  A high kickpoint will tend toward a lower
    trajectory where a lower kickpoint will help a player to get the ball
    up.

    	Would also recommend you review the 35 page article in
    	note 1144.10.  Lots of information.
