You can't go wrong with a krypto.

OKAY HERES THE END ALL OF BE ALL OF ALL THE POSTS TO THIS THREAD. AS TO ELIMINATE CONFUSING CLAIMS AND COUNTER CLAIMS.
There are 3 main shafts used by 75 - 95% of all D Poles I have seen including myself.
Warrior Kyrptolyte (Strongest of the three and most expensive, second lightest very popular)
Debeer DB803 (Lightest of the 3 and allegedly the weakest due to design and 2nd in price)
Brine F-15 (Cheapest of the three and the heaviest and the best overall value for newcomers, also now called the Brine Ignite series, althought supposively the Ignite series is now weaker that its F-15,22,55 predessors.
Now there are also three other shafts used but only by a margin of D Poles (Well maybe more STX titanium poles than DB803 but he is a beginner)
STX Titanium (Most expensive of all D Pole shafts listed here but also strongest and heaviest used mainly by advanced player for its sheer brute strength)
Warrior Krypto Pro (Used mainly by advanced player because it is pretty much the lightest D Pole out there, and second most expensive on the list)
STX Axe/Brine F-22 (Used by some but generally a minority, same strength as Kryptolyte and very similar weight but there is a price difference)

Humm..... well I have a F-15 and I tried a teammates STX Titanium and they felt about the same. So if it was lighter I doubt it would be worlds lighter, yeah I'm pretty sure their close but definitely not world's lighter.

Get yourself a KLyte. They are really light and not very expensive.

Why yall complaining about wait. Its the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. Are yall a bunch of [no swearing]. A few ounces is REAL NOTICEABLE. NOT. Who cares how heavy it is. ITs all about strength. Why go blow 100-200 dollars on a shaft that will dent crack or break. Its a bunch a balogne. I have heard the cons and pros of both the kryptolite and the db803. There both equal. There are two versions of the db803 the first one is stronger. FLIP

Its all personal preference...
I used to play with some OLD aluminum ones I had or bought at play it again...
When those finally all bent I had to get something new...Saw a DB803 bend on the first game it was used...Saw an F-15 bend a few games in...
Got myself a krypto pro and love it...I know I said I would never spend that kinda $ on a shaft but I did and have been happy ever since...
