Must be a really naive question but I'm wondering what exactly is the ''gray'' that you see on some shafts? Is it a special finish? Is it what it looks like when it's sanded down? I'm just wondering.

I've been wondering. It seems all the top pros are either tiny pinoys or average sized americans/europeans. Are there any good players that are on the taller side? I'm talking 6'1'' ++ Just need some inspiration, being 6'3'' myself. Tends to be harder to have a good stance sometimes.

Is there any way we can see this performance on the internet?

Thought the above message did not go through, sorry for double posting. It said something about review by a moderator so I thought something was off.
