A local distributor here in Ottawa carries an Apollo Balistik (stepless
iron) Multi Flex shaft. The specs quote a 44-inch length and 136-gram
weight. I weighed one of the few new original Balistiks I have left and it
was 130-grams. I asked him where the shafts come from and he said that they
are made in China. At least it appears that they have greatly improved the
Balistik shaft band!

Burgess,
The new GolfWorks catalog has Apollo shafts, but no Balistiks.
They, at least the Balistiks, don't have the same specs.

The closest thing to Balistiks in the GolfWorks catalog are
"Standard Stepless Steel."  The iron shafts come in two flexes
L/A and R/S, whereas the Balistiks would have covered this in
a single shaft.

The lengths are wrong as well, 40" for the L/A and 41" for the R/S,
while the Balistik was 44"  No idea what the parallel tip section
length is.

The other shafts listed are the Shadow Steel, Standard Steel, and
Junior Steel.

The Shadow at least has the same name as the old shaft, but its
specs are different as well.  It now comes in two flexes L/A and
R/S, while the old Shadow came in L, A, and R/S.  The lengths are
different as well.
