Well, if you put it like that, it should be a toll road. No fun for free, not in this economy.

Alternatively, I have another 84-3 waiting to be sent in with work request already submitted. Red and green points. Butt is perfectly straight with very tiny nicks and dents that are hard to see and likely resolved completely with refinish. One tiny ding on edge near bumper. Matching shaft is period correct, pre-dot shaft. Shaft has the tiniest bit of wobble (about 1mm gap in center when rolled on the table), but shaft is just straight taper. Pro-taper would easily make it arrow-straight. I don't think shaft is original to the butt. If you line up the joint collar on butt and shaft, the ring design on the shaft is about 1mm wider than on the butt. Hard to see unless you look very, very closely, but want to be transparent.
Wrap is solid white, uncoated wrap with wear and stains, so needs rewrap anyway. Tip diameter at base of ferrule is 12.8mm.
Was really planning to keep this one but probably a good candidate for you, depending on what you want to spend.

I would have to say the Rhino Must. I only recommend this as the weight balance of it is substantially better, more forward, that their standard carbon shaft, and i have both. I did not like Rhino's tips though and, but replaced the tip on my Must to a very soft one, Ultraskin black pro, but after watching Dr Daves video, it explained an issue with some very soft tips on carbon shafts that I was experiencing in where at time you would get the object ball go off from what you expected. I immediately changed the tip to an ultraskin Red Med and have not got any noticeable object ball variations since. It is a very quiet shaft, with the tip I have now, and i would say deflection and aiming basically the same as my Jacoby Ultra shafts with the same 12.5 mm dia.
I did not have the best result with a Jacoby v3 carbon shaft I had. It was smooth and quiet shooting, but I was never consistent with it. One time it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread, the next time i would play with it I would have trouble making some shots that I felt i should have made. They now are on version 6, which I would assume would be better, but when you figure that the Must is a great shaft at half the price, one has to wonder. Then Dr Dave tested the standard Rhino against a Predator and the deflection was similar, and the new Must shaft is supposed to be less deflection yet, To me it's a no brainer, but consider changing their tip out, some like the tip they come with though.
I know one thing, I'm not buying anymore carbon shafts, but for the time being I'm also not shooting the Must shaft in league as I picked up another Jacoby a few months back with a Kielwood shaft and that is what i am shooting now. i did turn it down from 12.75 mm to 12.5 mm and also added about .3 oz just in front of where the butt threads stop in the shaft to more balance it out to my liking. It is a little harsher hitting shaft than my Must, but it still shoots great. I still shoot the Must in practice, and am shooting really good with it. It will probably be what I use next year for league, but there is two weeks left this year so i don't want to change this late in league.

he played to a 714 against 600 players and won. his fargo rating was lower than them but he played much higher, so the higher playing player won just as forgo would predict.

if he played to his rating he would not likely finished in the list.

why or how he played way over his rating needs to be determined.

Why he played well is anyone's guess. He's not a rising young player and his robustness is 4k. Fargo predicted he would lose every match but the first one. His average opponent was a 632 so on average over that short event so his average match odds were 38% to win. At any rate I would consider this to be a major outlier and keep in mind I'm not attacking Fargorate but I started on this when Maha said fargo is "deadly accurate" at predicting who will win between two players. Not so much in my mind. Accurate? sure. But not "deadly"

Wow, so you mean to say, there's really three chicanes in an otherwise fully straight stretch of road. You're right. That's serious.

Tell me if you thought it was possible before the event that Eric were going to win? I didn't.

So why is there no way he wins it again?

Besides my point was to point out that fargo although a good indicator of skill over time is not "deadly accurate" to predict who will win.

So how have you done up there? I've been there lots with only a little success as far as results go. But probably more success than most. It's a tough row to hoe.

To me it seems like a 30-40 point FR difference is pretty much an even match, either player can win. Doesn't BCA spot 1 game per 50 points of FR? If so its not really that shocking that 606 FR won the tournament.

Similar deflection but probably a crappy hit. You won't give CF a chance if you hate the hit.

There is nothing wrong or funny about that...well except you know if it was real, a lotta cars were damaged there when the line was straight
