Jochen,
(funny writing you and do so in english:) You strongly recommend *not* to
use the regular G1F-shafts. This gets me startled as I just ordered a Mystic
at Gadermanns. Do I have to ring him up and give him special order?

I didn't respond directly to Jochen's post.

The G2F and HPS shafts are certainly stronger and stiffer than the G1F.
However, you will be putting your joints through a lot of stress with them.
They will transmit paddling forces back to your limbs without any shock
absorption.  Unless you're young and indestructible, it is recommended
that you stick with the G1F.

Mike
