[size=large]He invented the Florida straight shaft....it has been probably (I'm pretty sure) 10 years or so since he first marketed it on E-bay....the mistake is that he never patented it (probably more trouble than it was worth). It was copied by more than a few folks here and other places...in fact one knock off manufacturer actually started a business and successful internet mail order operation copying his original design....but hey....thats the way the ball bounces I guess.....but thats what happens when you put any product like that out on the internet.....He still sells a good number of them every year.....they are the original and are well made....I have one and I love it.....hope this answers your question.....HH....Brian[/size]
