For those who don't know, the short version is that each shaft has an ideal "axis" around which its flex is much more consistent. "Puring" or "spining" involves lining up this axis in a specific relation the clubhead to achieve more consistent kick. Or something like that.....
Spining or Puring a shaft is real. The trick is getting it put in the head correctly. I would say if your going to spend that much on a shaft have it pured & put in correclty. If you are being charged more than $20 to pull & spine a shaft in my opinion it is not worth it unless you can win it back in a week or two on the course. Most golfers handicap 10 or higher will never get the benifit from pured shaft.
