Same day testing...so did the "less droop" of the stiffer shafts effect that?

Possibly, but could have the orientation made a difference? Type of shaft.

I asked the question merely cause of what some shaft manufactures are saying along with guys like Tom Wishon. They do believe clubhead droop can be minimized to some extent.

1* droop difference between shaft flexes is what I read you are saying. Does that really IYO opinion make any significant difference in you shots? Having a 1* difference in lie angle, seems most shots played may be experiencing this just from the normal lie found on the course.

Homer seem to think that unless the toe or heel touched the surface prior to separation then the lie angle would be okay.

Just trying to understand where this is coming from and has it been tested out.

Brian, thanks again for another indepth, insightful answer.

I guess it will remain a mystery.
