Confusion on spine tester usage. (Ugh!)

<< < (2/4) > >>

DanaM:
Cut all your cane down to 36" and weigh them, then sort the cane based on weight, this will get you into the ballpark
as cane of similar weights spine about the same.

Pat B:
I have always found the stiff side to be the sides with the node scars. Test your canes, all four sides and see which is the stiffest. I think I remember Eddie(Mullet) doing it the way you say. I do it the other way with good results.  Experimentation is what will get you arrows that fly well for you.

aero86:
i hope you didnt think i was saying you were wrong pat, i was just confused!

Pat B:
No aero,not at all. If it works, its not wrong.  ;)  Different folks have different results from different materials. Do what works best for you. That is the important part.

riarcher:
Pat & Dana - Hmmmm,
Makes sense now on what I was seeing on a few YouTube vidios where Japanese, Koreans, and Chineese were making Bamboos.
They'd cut to length (long by ouw standards)
Straighten
Weight sort
Shoot to see what flew good for them.

I just figured the craftsman was tuned to feeling spine while straightening, or had a eye for size or something.

Thank much.
