I was finally able to demo some shafts in my M2 driver, and found one I liked - the Matrix 60Q4 red tie. This was a standard shaft from the TM demo cart. I asked the salesman how I could buy one, and he said that ebay was the best bet.
Appreciated his honesty, but I can't believe how confusing it is buying golf shafts on ebay - especially with regard to shafts that are prebuilt with an adapter. I'm seeing lots of listings claiming to be standard playing length (but all different lengths, 44, 44.25, 44.5 uninstalled). How could you know whether a shaft was tipped or not?
Am I better off just buying a new uncut shaft, and asking the shop to build it to the same specs as the demo? Would a new red tie shaft even be the same as the TM demo (or are the TM red ties "made for")?
