If the cost is the same, I could have something that is even more personalized, and doesn't adversely affect preformance, then it's a go.
That is, if the price isn't outragous.
You say that you paid the same price for the handles to be made in both materials, but what kind of price are we talking for a custom, one-off job?
Was it with a local machinist, friend, small business, or a major machining company?
Did you just hand over the original stick and they did the rest, or did you have to give them the specs and they just fed them into a computer?

I had 20 of each made.  It was at a machine shop that we used to make housings for RF amplifiers.  I just gave them the stick and told them what I wanted different.  They took it and ran.  They charged me $20 a stick.  If I would have ordered 100 or more, they would have been way cheaper.  He also said that the next time around they would be cheaper as they had put all of the specs into the machine (kind-of like a set-up fee)

Would you mind posting any pictures.  You mentioned that you had one made in aluminum and the other in steel, so if it is convienient, two photos of both sticks in the CP would be great. That is, if you are currently using both.
Did you have the handle full or partially anodized? If so, what method did you use and how did it turn out?

Sorry I don't have better pics...I actually just took an order that is going to clean me out of all chrome and gold sticks...I think I will just offer the slikstik models from now on...easier on me and I like their products.

Almost forgot...the shaft is hard steel so you don't have to worry about slamming it around and bending the aluminum...it will take everything you throw at it!
