I once did a re-grip and discovered rusted shafts. Turned out my customer used his bag for a beer cooler. Just add beer cans and ice. I talked him into graphite shafts.

I guess I've also felt that there would be some amount of ventilation to allow moisture to escape. But after recently seeing how rusted the shafts were on a set I built about 1 year ago, (the worst rust I have ever seen) I'm considering sealing the tape over the butt in hopes that there will be no access for moisture. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Thanks, David
