Mr. Brunt, Are refering to a accelerometer - which can be use measuring motion and vibration (shock). Do you have expericence with this sensor ? What instrument can you find it in other than a car ? Ben

Mr. Steve Gardner and Mr. Tom Kirkman, Got no ideas on what you two are talking about. Only qualified Rod Makers would able to provide you with appropriate answers (they specialized in making composite rod). I'm no such. Sorry. Ben

Mr. Billy Vivona wrote,"Look at how much collge costs, that shoudl tell you how valuable info is." There are various courses available on line via Youtube from good college such as MIT, CalTech and other famous institution for free. Complete course for those who cannot afford tuition (Science,Math,Physic,Mechanical Engineering,Electric Engineering). I know because I've used it.

Mr. Tom Kirkman wrote, "If the acceptance of such a measurement system requires the purchase of a $100 unit... forget it. You're not in touch with the average rod builder. He won't spend the money." I don't think we are that cheap, Mr. Tom. Most people owns a RenZetti Lathe and most not, however, it's their PPF.

Tom, I was hoping that Mr. Terry Henson will do more Seminars at OC. We surely enjoyed it !. We did paid admission for it, no ? Ben

Mr. Terry Henson, You boldly announced to your 30 guests last year at OC that you would shares your knowledge and make sure that nothing kept as "secret". Thank you for inspiring us and you surely demonstrate your ability using feather inlays. Ben

Tom.... This is not for the average builder. It is like they advertised it, It is for the "Serious" and "Professional" builder (Toy for Big Boy). Okay. Got what you meant by ERN scale. Can't seem to figure out what's the different between CCS and CCF ? Which would you use for stiffness ? Ben
Forum: rodboard

Tom, OoH-Rah ! for Dr. Hanneman and for rod builders and makers who've are using it today (CCF). Benefits of GolfSmith Frequency Analyzer: No mathematic involvement in calculating the CPM or HertZ (No formular to remember). No multitasking requires. Yes, you can relax your tired set of eyes. If you blink your eyes, the output number is still the same (No counting of 1-20 requires,

Dr. Wrote, "So, you have a technology which allows you to measure the stiffness of a rod, and your scale has a range from 1 to 8. What are the physical units in which stiffness is measured by your technology? " The GolfSmith Frequency Analyzer measures stiffness in the unit of HertZ or Cycle Per Minutes. Getting HertZ results from the GolfSmith Frequency Analyzer we can compiles fl

Dr. Hanneman wrote, "You sound as if you have an inquiring mind, are ambitious, and like to “play” with your computer. I, on the other hand have “been there--done that” enough to have developed the philosophy that if a thing is not worth doing at all, it is not worth doing well.

Dr Bill wrote, "However, what is important for the rod builder is to recognize the relationships among power (stiffness), frequency, and the mass attached to the tip of the rod. It is also important to know how to determine the frequency or relative frequency of any intermediate configuration. It is also important for a builder to have a good idea of how much the frequency will be decreased

I have a few friends that builts battlebots. Having them design and build a machine that mount a fishing rod for rod performance testing is a breeze. Doesn't the rod makers have similiar mechanical device to test their raw blank ? Just Curious. Ben
Forum: rodboard

Mr. Emory, Thank you for the encouragement. If we can persuade Dr. Bill Hanneman as well, I'll be on my way. My Email address is unblocked. Ben
Forum: rodboard

Gentlemen, Would your data be more meaningful if you have a device (mechanical caster) that cast the fishing line at the same rate of speed, angle and lb. of force ? Your Data will be consistent and there wouldn't be any credential disagreement. Ben
Forum: rodboard

Mr. Emory, I would like to incoporates this idea into my software called Micro Rod Shop. See this link: . For every guides added, there will be RF measurement displaying of it, It measures dynamicly and reports data to the software, providing the custom builder with up seconds of the rod's Frequency. Rod Makers and Custom Builders could use this software if they have this RF Analyzer that
Forum: rodboard

Eugene, I haven't done much observation/recording on reduction of frequency to provide you with a definite answer (I am sure it is, science dictate so.. changes in stiffnes or mass will alter the frequency). I don't have this High Tech unit to play with yet. Here is the frequency analyzer that i wish for: Read the PDF document for Technical Info. I can directly interface with thi

Dr. Hanneman wrote, “I believe the future lies in Feel and PPF.” “Now, where do you think the future lies?” Adopting Technologies that allows us to do this. Golf world already and been using these devices to build and custom their clubs. I've been doing some research on a frequency analyzer and found one I like. This instrument can communicate live raw data to our desktop computer
Forum: rodboard

Fine tuning your own rod is what this is about. The custom rod builder give you the basic rod, then as an angler, with your own preference, with performance specs (data), tuning your own rod for the way you fishes. I think Dr. Hanneman got luck with his answer. Tom.. Ben

Mr. Emory, Dr. never mentioned lead. Tom Kirkman Statement, "I know one guy who wrapped lead wire around his rod blank between the tiptop and first guide. He certainly didn't create a more responsive rod by doing that, but he did create the feel and type of response which he personally wanted in that rod. " Ben Lee Statement, "Using lead to controls the frequency is a great
