Shaft bend!

I know it flexes during the swing, but not that much, does it??


BTW, Jeff, here's some slow mo of Jamie, at about the 30 second mark.


I caught this slo-mo shot at the 36sec. interval (right at impact) and the shaft is pretty much in line with the left arm.
I have seen some ultra slo-mo shots that show some really distorted shaft positions throughout the swing on some players that don't come close to this young man's speed. Don't believe you would see this kind of distortion on shorter shafts. The longer driver shafts, even though they are tipped very firm, have what I believe to be a recoil effect immediatley after impact.
