to fit a McDermott...doesn't need to be pristine, but no surface of the moon shafts either :) Gonna experiment with hard tips for breaking, and don't wanna use my playing shaft.
 
I have one for sale $65.00 delivered in the USA. It is a brand new shaft from Mcdermott with a black collar.

Thanks, but I was hoping to get one on the cheap to experiment with....I'd use my gamer, and make your new one my gamer, but my McD is a COM (Oct 06 - Phoenix), and has fancy rings on the shaft....
 
i have to agree here $65 is going to be as cheap as you can find unless you find one that is warped.

$65 delivered is on the cheap sir. I'd be glad to sell you one of mine for $150 plus shipping.:)

wow, guys, guys, I understand that that is a good price for a new shaft. I was hoping for a spare that someone had around, that maybe had been played a bit, and then hasn't seen any use since getting a predator or an OB-1 or something. I was in no way knocking the price, just wasn't what I was hoping for....

If I wanted to do shaft experiments in a driver - I wouldn't want to do it on a new Taylormade or PING...I would do it on one that's a few seasons old and someone didn't use anymore. Or better yet...I'm looking to try a few new homemade finishes on putters (different bluing techniques, oil rubs, etc. - which btw, I do, on putters)- I wouldn't be looking for new Scotty Camerons to try these on; I'd want some older Spalding TP Mills putters, or even some not completely bet up carbon steel Mizuno putters --had to get a golf comparison in there -- :)

Troy, do you know off hand what the measurement on the joint would be???

I can't make one for that amount of $$$ :)

easy solution...buy wood at the bulk prices that Mcdermott pays, and be willing to pay yourself the same wage as the guy that makes the shafts at McDermott. After you make a few million to sell to others, then you will be able to make one for yourself for that $$$ :)

SHEESH, didn't think everyone would pile on a guy who was looking to play around and try out a few different tips....I thought posting the reviews here could be helpful to some. Aw, screw it....I'm gonna buy an a new laminated shaft to experiment on - what's a couple hundred bones, and since I've never done any work on my own before - who cares if I scratch up the ferrule a bit, or mark up the shaft here and there. Ok, I feel better now. You can get back to slamming me again. :rolleyes:
 
I have a 3/8-10 mali shaft that will fit it. No joint color, but I can cut it down to be close on the sides as it is thick. $45. shipped. PM me with your info if intrested. Shaft is almost new!!!
 
Hey, I got one for $40 shipped..one of the first shaft that I've made. It's 3/8-10...no collar. cheap ferrule. Sight straight...maybe a little roll out with hard Molavia ($20 installed alone) great for breaking ~ How that's for cheap? Sold As Is...also remember what you're buying and how much you paying.:) It's will be fine as a break shaft.

Nobody is trying to bust you or anything, and we all know where you are coming from, trying to save a buck or two. It is just that $65 delivered for a genuine McDermott shaft is practically stealing.

You want to do an analysis of a shaft/tip, etc for breaking, I think you said. On a really cheap shaft, you will have lesser wood and a real cheap thermoplastic ferrule, probably. The odds are that it won't give you a true analysis of what you are trying to find out, and it is still going to cost you $35-45.

With the McDermott at $65 delivered that Troy (Koinnkid) offerred, you could test it to your heart's content, then put a standard tip back on it and sell it for $65-75 (maybe more on the bay) and your testing would have been for free. JMO.

Thanks for the reply Joe, and I do get that, but I figured if there were anywhere to look for a 3/8-10 shaft that's not in use it'd be here (guys with 10s or even dozens of cues that could just be collecting dust, and you know some have multiple shafts for 'em). $65 is a GREAT price for a new shaft, but with NO experience whatsoever I'd hate to mess up a good shaft is all. I guess I didn't really make it clear what I was looking for....shaft bluing fine, scratches and such on ferrule fine, just not too crooked and cratered or cracked and split is good with me. I know what my first tinkerings in putters look like, and to do that to a NEW McDermott shaft would be shame. I probably should buy the new one, and let someone who knows what they are doing put the tips on....but thought it might be a fun winter "hobby". I have too many EXPENSIVE hobbies now, and thought I'd start this one out a little less so. :) Thanks again for your reply, and sorry if I was a bit testy that early in the morning :) You seem like a really good guy, and it's such a pity that you have an elephant avatar - WAR EAGLE :)

Oh Man!! I thought you were a good guy, but now!! I just can't help you at all, now.:D

Well, actually, being an Auburn man is not too bad. I will be extremely happy when the Tide returns to the top 10. Maybe in a year or two.

Good luck getting the shaft!!:D

Roll Tide!
