I got my C555 about 2 months ago and have used it about in about 15 games(plus tournaments) and 20 practices. I bought it for 70 at a pretty expensive store, (they sell cybers for 60) :thumbsdow .
Apperance:
Silver just like the silver on a swizzle 7075. I like it, actually i really dont mind the color of silver my shaft has. But the logo is where this goes wrong. Its kinda dumb and cheap looking. it says, db ALCALYT C555 CRYO, in blue with like nike swooshes around it.------7of10
Weight:
Well, there isnt much to say about the weight. What is it, 5 oz or somewhere around there. Good for us attack. And I know some people say light sticks are terrible or what ever but if you put this on a bionic like i had once, it feels pretty average. -----------10of10
Durability:
Well you guessed it, not pimpin.(that was from the song pimpin all aver the world) anyway iv had it for about 2 months and it has about a few dings and 2 dents. One of the dents is big enought to put your thumb in. Not good.
--------6of10
Grip/Feel:
The shape of the shaft I love. It is like a brine classic grip but a bit more concave. It also feels pretty thin, I had to put some tape around the top when i put it in my e3. If you like it thin this is great. Also when i had a Brien ti powergrip, it tore up my gloves and made my hands a bit sore after a while, not the case with this shaft. My only complaint, this is a little slippery, i love the diamond/liquid metal feel. This is a little more grippy than a ignite optra(optra=crud). but just but some tape around the bottom and your set.------------9of10
Value:
Great, when bought at the right place. you can get it for 50-55 at its lowest. That is pretty good considering some other c555 shafts are 20-30 more.

Overall:
great value, grip, weight. But are you willing to make the trade off of weight for durability?--------8.5of10
