Droop is a function of the stiffness of the shaft based on the forces being applied through acceleration. The Major force will be CF.

Agree totally.

Lost me here, am still not firing on all cylinders. I thought your 1.5" was close enough for governament work?
I can easily align sweetspot with handle - w/ dowel or w/o dowel. Dowel makes it easier to confirm the alignment in the mirror, thou.
The point I was trying to make was; it takes rather few N's to bend the shaft, hence the huge amount of N's produced by CF will bend the saft and in-line grip and sweet spot.
Reading your things clicking post made me realize you can trace any
Straight ..... Line. The operative word is
Straight.
Good to hear you are making things click. I'm still waiting on my 2005 epiphany deliveries.
