I'm not trying to disparage Al or take anything away from your fitting experience, but telling difference between an "S" shaft and an "X" shaft is more than just labels.
True Temper Dynamic Gold "R" and "S" flex shafts have a total of 11 steps in the shaft while True Temper Dynamic Gold "X" flex shafts have 10.
While it's entirely possible to have an "R" flex and an "S" flex misidentified because of improper labeling (even though there's more to it than that), it is impossible to mistake an "S" flex for an "X" flex just because it was mis-marked and a good clubfitter should know that.
Also the "too heavy" comment is puzzling since an X-100 shaft and an S-300 (two of the most common shafts installed) are identical in weight (both an uncut 130 grams). Interesting.
As far as matching the shafts and their alignments are concerned, I have no issues with that nor do I have any issues about his thoughts on manufacturers as well. I just found those two remarks odd is all.
Just an observation
