Read steady butt CPM as a tip-mass clue

The instructor explains that one way to make a shaft stiffer is to add more material, which thickens the wall and drops the torque a little. With the butt-section CPM unchanged, the instructor reads that as a sign the maker is probably adding the shaft's seven grams of extra mass to the tip section, producing the extra stiffness.

Why this context matters

The instructor is inferring how added tip mass likely creates the shaft's 'high' and 'low' stiffness options, based on the unchanged butt CPM.
