Abstract
An analyzer that can provide information concerning a golf shaft assembly's oscillation properties, its natural frequency and its flat line oscillation planes. In the embodiments presented, a clamping assembly holds both the golf shaft assembly and an oscillator. Oscillation of the golf shaft assembly and that of the oscillator with known oscillation properties provides information about the golf shaft assembly's oscillation properties. Some of the test procedures presented are made possible by oscillation coupling between the golf shaft assembly and the oscillator. Oscillator assemblies are presented which have adjustable natural frequencies and one has a preferred oscillation deflection plane.
