Ok good to hear, I didn't think the carbon fiber split rod would be a problem since it is much stronger than the one I had a problem with.That being a Lanier Extreme Stick.As for the instructions you have got to love some of the english."Use to the best short" and "use to grow to the best".
I would also like to find a way to protect the covering, I am not looking forward to when it rips.It is really thick covering but very brittle.You would think they would use a higher quality covering since they are going to the trouble of airbrushing it, doesn't make sense.
