I have one of his like yours. Mine just has different rings. The shaft I got kinda dwindled if you will. It just developed a huge amount of cueball squirt. I talked to Ryan about it at this year's expo. He immediatly offered a new shaft. I took him up on it. I had him use a different ferrule as I like a stiffer ferrule. I got the shaft on Teusday. All I can say is ,,,OH MY GOD. The shaft is solid as a rock. Very little if any squirt. Hits like a proverbial Mack Truck. I love this thing again. It's now back in my case as the spare shooter alongside my Josie sneaky.
Now for the best part. Not only did Ryan send me the new shaft. He returned the old shaft as well!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot express my admiration for this man. He is aces in my book. Ryan if you see this know that I am a big supporter and fan. One cannot ask for any better service tha what Ryan provided.
