Garrett Vortex "Counterweight-Ready" Complete Carbon-Fiber Shaft

BRAND NEW!

Our Garrett Vortex complete shaft allows for complete replacement of the stock Garrett shaft with a lightweight, high-quality, heavy-duty, fully telescopic, all-carbon-fiber shaft. This shaft was engineered with the same, careful attention to detail as the rest of our entire line of carbon-fiber replacement shafts, with the goal being to offer a lighter-weight shaft, fitted with our heavy-duty SDR cam locks (instead of the standard Garrett twist-lock). The shaft also allows for greater length -- both in terms of extension capability, and in the upper section to allow greater separation between the handle and the arm cuff, which improves the ergonomics for taller users.

Additional lower rods can be purchased with any complete shaft, at an add-on price of $60 (black).

Custom-length lower rods can also be substituted for the standard-length lower rod, upon customer request, for an additional $10.

A blue color option is available for the upper shaft section, for an additional $10.
