Did he consider your actual swing speed, tempo and release when choosing a shaft? Did you see how consistant you were hitting the face of the club with respect to the shaft length? How about the weight of the shaft?
I hope the HG cart had all the combinations of the above.

May I suggest that you go to:

And find a certified class A clubmaker.

Good luck in your search. It can be difficult unless you have a good guide.
I only had an hour and this was an initial, free "get to know you" type service, so we were limited by time. We tried a variety of shafts, weights, etc... He was monitoring all of the items you mention above with the help of a launch monitor, outdoors where we could see actual ball flight as well. If he were to build the club today, he was going to put me in a 76 gram, regular length, tip-trimmed, r-flex shaft. Part of his service is that he will make adjustments, swap shafts, etc... free of charge as long as I own the club, which is something I was looking for. We did talk about tempo and releases and what he believed was the cause of my straighter plane with the weaker shaft. He is not a TGM guy, though, and we didn't get into any significant swing adjustments.

He is a certified class A clubmaker and is on the website you provided.
