This is a Cuetec Cynergy shaft. I believe it has virtually no deflection. I purchased it new in May and have used it for a total of about 10 hours. I don't think there are any noticeable scratches. I can upload photos if you need them, just let me know. The tip is a Navigator Gekka-M, which I wanted to try when I bought it. Thank you. Please understand that this is a used item. Thank you. The box is included. Please comment with reasonable offers if you're interested in a price reduction. I will consider a price reduction for those who purchase immediately. Cuetec Cynergy 10.5mm Uniloc
