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.

Here are four photos O.B. Left took at Cuscowilla in our private sessions last month. They illustrate his points . . . and mine. Also, they give insight into the 'Shaft Bend' questions Mike O. asked above. FYI, these are Stiff shafts -- not Super Stiff or Tipped -- but they are Stiff (and not of the 'Super Senior' variety ) .
