Typhoon I hate you. I also have been not just thinking about that shaft, but looking at buying one. I'm leery of the new ones being the same, even though I've read they are still from the same foundry. I suppose they are cheap enough to find out. iirc, although they had a very low torque, they were like whips, even in the stiff flex. There is a seller of them on Facebook GCT Long Drive; he has several. Probably not my realm of use, but should be OK for you.
This damn forum. At least it's keeping the economy going, even if it's keeping me broke.
