:-) $300 ? I have seen prices a lot higher! And image the cost to send them to Europe... on top of that customs charges 21% over the total value... Long ago I heard about the Mach-22's on this list. I wonder why people do not discuss good choices like those any longer. For example what about the HIREKO graphite shafts ? Any good ?
