Also check out shafts from Harrow, they are longer than the other companies so it won't be as stiff when you cut.
I've seen Harrow around but not much anymore. Who still carries them?

Also Easton sticks now, starting from about last year, are only the listed flex after being cut about 1.5"-2"approx. So an uncut stick will feel whippier than listed. The flex rating on the cutting guidlines on the back reflect that.

eg: Reebok 85 uncut will be stiffer than Easton 85 uncut.
Most INT sticks I've looked at the past couple days seems to either be perfect height or at most I would have to cut 1" off
