[O.B.Left]

First time trying to attach photos so hopefully this will work.

Jeff, I am no LD expert, just a humble amateur. These pictures of me were taken in October 2008 by GolfGuru. I think they were taken up around the shutter speed you wanted on his Casio F1 camera that can take bursts at up to 1200 fps I believe.

If he's got the F1 then the still bursts are up to 60 frames per second. High speed movies on the other hand can make it to 1,200 fps. Although here I think fps stands for "fields per second". Apples and oranges. Film movie cameras would still be "frames per second" having a mechanical shutter and a true film frame

My Casio FH20 has a burst of still photos up to 40 fps which are far clearer than 280 fps in digital movie mode for some reason. No shaft blur what so ever. (The faster fps movie settings require a ton of light and are smaller files, despite the blur I find 280 to be the best rate.)

And yes in burst mode the shaft looks like a very in focus bent snake while in movie mode it seems a rather straightish looking blur. This when regarding the same person doing the same shot one after the other.

If this shaft deflection is an anomaly of high speed still photography then Hogan might have been wrong to change shafts after reviewing his photos for Power Golf. Ill let the sharpness of the focused still bursts rule and chose to think that Mr Hogan and Mr Kelley had it right. The shaft is a snake.
