There are several shafts which weight i am wondering about. I have seen the Brine shaft comparison chart but i personally think it's BS because i have held many of the different shafts and i don't think that the ignites and scandiums are all that close in weight. I am looking for actual numbers other than "it's really light."

The shafts I'm wondering about are:
Ignite Optra
Sc21
SC21 Air

Secondarily I'm wondering about the weight of the swizzle grip itself. I know that the swizzle 7075 is basically an ignite supra with the zone-tak grip, but does the grip add a weight? I have read that it adds as much as 30 grams (a little more than an ounce), but i don't know if this is true.

Thanks,

SC21s weigh more than Harrow I beams and field attacks?

WOW! does 30 grams really make a difference? the difference in weight between this shafts is not something your gonna feel.

WOW! Be quiet. He's trying to research shafts before he buys them (I'm assuming), which is very smart, and if he wants to know the weights, let him be.

go with the ice or a hickory shaft. I know they are oposites but I have been using both for more than a year on D and neither of them has even gotten a dent
