If you need a spare/back-up shaft these J&J shafts are a SUPER deal imo. I paid $45 delivered. It has very nice tight grain, good ferrule and a water buffalo tip. You can specify a layered also, a 5thAvenue i think. They come with or without silver ring in most pin sizes. To me the price is just crazy. I've seen WAY more expensive shafts that were not as nice as this. On their site its listed as a 'J&J spare shaft'. http://www.jjcue.com/jjcues_shafts.htm Thought i'd pass this along.
