I bought a dozen of these shafts and they’re beautiful. They’re well weight matched, with a standard deviation of just +-9 grains about the mean and a difference of 25 grains between the lightest and the heaviest shaft. They were all exactly the same length on arrival and they’re all nearly perfectly straight. Only one in my dozen required some very minor straightening. They’re also very straight grained with no knots and only very minor grain run-off on a few shafts that shouldn’t pose any problems. I’d definitely recommend shafts from this supplier to anyone.
For what it’s worth, I’ll also add that I prefer these pine shafts to spruce shafts, which is what I usually used until recently. Compared to spruce, pine is denser so shafts made out of it are a little heavier, but pine is also considerably harder and tougher than spruce, so it tends not to split or crack as easily and it better resists getting nicked and gouged. These characteristics result in a more durable arrow.
