Okay I searched this forum, and found a little bit of information, but not much. Has anyone out there hit Penley Platinum shafts, or Penley Graphite Lights?
I just picked up a couple cheap, based on scant information. One Platinum is going in the Sonartec MD 17* I'm building as a Christmas gift for someone. A Graphite Light will go in the Wishon 915 5 wood head I just bought.
Most of what I know about these shafts came from the Hireko DSFI spreadsheets...

Is Penley out-of-business, or headed that way? Their website seems to be down.
