I'm no expert in frequency measurements, but looking at the picture below, what you say makes sense. From my intuitive reasoning, the frequency determined in this manner would likely be a combination of butt, mid-section, tip-section frequency (as these are the common different sections often referred to in shafts).
Curious, if you clamped the club in reverse, could you not get the frequency of just the butt end?....or clamp it way down toward the tip to get the tip end?
Also, would frequency be changed if tested with vs. without a grip? (if grip extends well beyond the point it is clamped)?

The shaft has a frequency as measured by the frequency meter, and that goes for the entire length of the shaft measured.
