Any idea about the strength of these shafts? Just had a Gait/DeBeer DB803 break on me after about 3 weeks and am looking for something a bit stronger than a stick of butter but still as lightweight as possible.

I do have a pretty nasty ice pick. That's about it though.

Continued review of SC1 Serpent shaft.
Generally - outstanding. Ryan (my son) used it for a camp and for 3 games. I've been told I'm not getting it back.
He stopped using his Brine Supra Ignite and ignored the wonderboy
Here are his reasons/my observations:
1. Light!!!!! I note that it balances well with Gait Torque head.
2. Strong - no dents/chips/bends after a few counselors (including T.Tarr) took some checks at it. Rigid
3. His teammates liked it - thought it was "cool"
4. Wonderboy dented when his sister would check it.
5. Ignite clear covering chipped during league play.
Serpent is doing custom shafts for various USLIA-MDIA teams. UMD will be sporting them this season. YOu do need to order a minimum #, but the prices of these shafts are low - your teams may want to look into it. We've already ordered them. They should look unique.
A Ti d-poll is coming from Serpent. After speaking with the owner, I am VERY excited about this new Ti pole. I think they understand why other poles fail. I still use the over 8 year old Ti poles because the current ones from ALL manufacturers are too flimsey or too heavy. I have a gut feeling it will be special...
