FAQs : Frequency
Q1: Why is frequency important for golf shafts?
A1: Frequency is a superior measure for determining the flex of golf shafts. It yields an objective, empirical value regardless of shaft type or material.
Q2: What is frequency?
A2: Frequency is rate per given unit of time.
Q3: How is shaft frequency measured?
A3: We measure our shafts on proprietary frequency analyzers. These analyzers put the shaft in motion and calculate its unique frequency.
Q4: What is frequency matching?
A4: Frequency matching is a comprehensive system for matching shafts in a golf club or set of golf clubs. When properly applied it yields a linear progression (from club to club). This results in balance and consistency within a set of golf clubs.
Q5: What does FM stand for?
A5: FM stands for Frequency Matching. FM is Rifle’s patented system for frequency matching golf shafts.
Q6: What is a coefficient?
A6: A coefficient is a flex level or designation. For example 5.5 is a coefficient. It refers to the empirical flex, or flex level, of a shaft of golf club.
Q7: Are all of Rifle's shafts Frequency Matched?
A7: No. Only our line of shafts (Rifle and Rifle Flighted) are Frequency Matched.
