You need to buy it just so you can say you got one -
Talking point for your collection -

LOL!
I would! But not at that price.
Shame it is not a 2 for 1 sale -
You could get bookends -

I don't see how you are going to twist the maple shaft into a helix without breaking it.
But if you did, you will find that the V at the end of the taper will be lower than the V at the butt end.
No problem with helical force vectors through a parabolic taper, Doc.
But this would leave out the density of the material. I am guessing Kryptonite or Unobtainium.
Depending on the density of the material, the taper would have to vary. Even the folks at Predator realized, with Revo, they had to put a steel slug in the bottom part of it to achieve a decent weight and balance.
So, I am guessing the density of Kryptonite vs Unobtainium would have to be taken into account to determine the shaft taper. And if either are light, a compensation would be needed, similar to the Revo. Unfortunately, I think both those materials are heavy, so some thinking is needed to achieve it.
Don't get me started on Depleted Uranium. It would be a challenge for a shaft.
All the best,

You propose to twist unobtanium?
No. I would try Depleted Uranium.
The problem is, it is so heavy, that the shaft walls would have to be incredibly thin. But, if balanced right, it wouldn't need that steel plug that the carbon fiber shafts are coming out with. And, I think it would be low deflect, because you can make the end of it as thin as you want.
So many materials, so many options...
All the best,
WW
Not really sure if you all are serious, joking or a combination of the two...
Carbon fiber layup variations could likely create any characteristic one would desire.
