Personally I would upgrade my stick if I was looking at $500 shafts. Look for a joss, or some kind of merry widow. No point sticking a $500 or even a $300 doller shaft on a $150 stick. Sometimes the hit of the stick can change your game.
Love his cues. That does look great. I just ordered an ebony merry widow with an white and black ebony handle. Told him do as he wishes. Now just time to kill years.
