Ding,
Check at your local golf pro shop for broken carbon shafts.(Do I know you or what?)You can finally mix your hobbies.
I was going to use an old fishing pole but then I got the call (it's almost like he knows) which by the way he used a very "shut up and listen" tone. As much as I seem to find the bottom it will be good to learn how to work with the black nasty.
