I invite you to tell us how many strokers you've built with stock rods and what it cost to have the rotating assembly balanced you did... ZERO...
Scat rods are far superior and lighter than Factory 50-year-old stuff..
You'd probably be $350 into Mallory just trying to counterbalance those heavy Factory rods that aren't as strong or as precision made...
I've learned a lot from you but sometimes in life you have to realize you don't know it all...
