i had to upgrade to AL center drive cups for just this reason. My plastic cups wobbled a LOT....switched to the AL cups and almost all of that is gone. there IS still a little run out but its not major.

I'm pretty picky, in fact i want my shaft to spin perfectly true, but it doesnt

Also wear on the AL drive cups is VERY VERY minor, just enough to be noticeable but NOTHING to worry about.


Also i'd recommend going with a graphite shaft by the dude that sells them here, rather than another AL one.
