Actually John I was just kidding. I didn't expect a free shaft when I posted. Does the Orange Apache MFS65n shaft have a prodiment spine or is this great shaft spineless? I assume its the best shaft at any price (and it has a spine). Now I'm really confused. Alan, have fun with the freebie (no s

Hi Arnie, I was quoting the engineer's perspective.  I like the colorful shafts too, even though I am an engineer my father was a photographer and I come by my appreciation for color honestly. Regards, Alan At 12:09 AM 2/28/03 -0500, you wrote: In a message dated 2/27/03 11:43:20 PM Eastern Standa
