Were these pro series shafts? Now I don't claim for them to have the most consistent spine but the weight tolerances for the last 5-6 dozen I have owned personally were all within advertised tolerances (except for one arrow in 5-6 dozen) and they all spun very well.

Honestly I think all the shafts listed above by little chief are a good quality shaft. I do like the gold tips but that is because I really think their component system i.e. pin nocks, are the best quality component system on the market. In my opinion, the only other component system that is close is eastons pin nock system which is only available on shafts that cost well over $200 per dozen.
