OK, last one (really!).  When someone is shopping just a shaft in the "Flea Market", then "tipped" refers to how much tip-trimming was done, regardless of what was called for on any trim chart.  Similarly, when someone asks "Has it been tipped at all?", that's what they're driving at, too.

Every shaft is different so it's important to know what your starting point is before proceeding with any install. I have various cheap bastages bring in shafts they've procured from some 6 thumbed poofy on the internet.

Usually when you tip, you'll see an upward creep in the finished frequency of the club.  The higher the freq, the stiffer the club.  It's one way to quantify the effect of tipping but I don't believe it completely describes what is happening.  A high percentage of shafts start to feel boardy and unresponsive once you tip past a 'threshold' point.  Part of it is related to the profile stiffness as well as the rotational torque.

Also affects the frequency of the poon. Sorta like wedding vows.

Use judicious tipping to preserve the poon. Sumo

And what the hell is FLOing?  I notice spaceage didn't do it.

Thanks

FLO = Flat Line Oscillation.  Used in conjunction with spining.  Once you have found the hard & soft spines of the shaft, the general practice is to have the hardest spine facing the toe and the softest spine facing the target.  Using bubble wrap or fishing line to secure the head on the shaft, you clamp the butt end of the club in a clamping device.  You then twang the head and want to see the head oscillate in a nice flat line.  You may need to tweak the orientation ever so slightly to get it to do so.  After I bought my R5 TP, I brought it home and clamped it down in my Digiflex clamp and gave it a twang.  It oscillated in an elliptical pattern, not good.  So I pulled the head with low heat, and adjusted it for flo.  Only took about a 10º turn clockwise and it flo's very nicley now.

Tipping = What happens when YOU have too many Mich Goldens or Rum  and Cokes.  You'll be standing there and just tip right onto your azz.
