Absolutely perfect. Wow, I'm glad Brooks Brothers didn't stock them. I hate, hate, hate plastic poles and finally decided I would break down and buy a nice set of metal poles. I knew the only place they were was Brooks Brothers and they happened to not be there, but they informed me the regular price was $85 (brass and leather case!). Not knowing anything better, I decided to bite the bullet and come back. Then I found her on the internet. They may be polished steel and don't come with a leather case (ett?), but instead of 5 sets I got 18 sets for less than 1/8th the price. Yes, they're weakly attracted to magnets, and no, they're not strong enough to get the job done if that's what you're looking for, but it's clearly advertised as such, so no disappointments. Definitely if you're looking for a replacement shoot, even if you normally use plastic, you can't get any better.
