What is spine alignment in a golf shaft? 

The spine aligning we do at Value Golf (also sometimes called “spining” - or [inaccurately] “spline” aligning) is a club building procedure to locate a golf shaft's most stable bending plane, usually called the “neutral bending plane” or “natural bending plane”, often abbreviated as NBP. And  after locating that stable plane, installing the shaft in a specific orientation relative to the target line for the highest performance. (note that there is another debate I won’t get into here about whether to align the hard spine toward the target or the neutral or natural bend plane toward the target. I do not agree with aligning the hard spine toward the target is the way to go and I think you will understand why if you read on)

Why would aligning a golf shaft a certain way even be necessary? For one, no golf shaft is perfectly round or perfectly uniform in stiffness. Every steel golf shaft for example has a welded seam, and graphite shafts have layers

Understanding Different Golf Grip Sizes and Their Importance

When it comes to golf, the right grip can significantly influence a player's performance on the course. Golf grip sizes may seem like a minor detail, but selecting the appropriate grip size is crucial for maximizing control, comfort, and consistency in your swing. This article will explore the various golf grip sizes, how to determine the right one for you, and why it matters in your game.

The Basics of Golf Grip Sizes

Golf grips come in different sizes to accommodate the varying hand sizes of players. The primary types of grip sizes include:

1. Standard Golf Grips: This is the most common size, suitable for players with average hand sizes. There is not much industry variance among brands when it comes to a standard size golf grip. A Standard size golf grip is measured at .900" in diameter, 2" down from the butt end (top) of the grip.

2. Midsize Golf Grips: As the name suggests, midsize grips are slightly larger than standard
