A golf club matching method in which the ideal shaft stiffness for a particular golfer is first empirically determined using calibrated test clubs. The shafts are incrementally trimmed to result in a set in which each club has the same or ideal shaft frequency or stiffness. The manufacturing method may be automated using a computer controlled cutting operation to fabricate a number of matched club shaft blanks by inputting information relative to the desired stiffness, shaft blank characteristics, club head, grip, finished club length and other data.
