Same quailty as the rest of the stuff. I appreciate the praise. I take alot of pride in this stuff. I am gonna post a pic ( or try ) when I get my new bangsticks put together. I am having the 5' aluminum bangstick pole powder coated, and then I am gonna turn some nice piece of metal to cap the oppisite end from the bangstick, should look really nice. Thanx again, Cajun
