For the price, they can't be beat.  I get mine from Menards.  I usually buy a couple of handfuls of the straightest 3/8 in., take them home and sort by spine then weight.  My experience has been pretty good.  They are fairly tough and usually heavy. Just a couple of weeks ago I found one that a squirrel dodged and was lost through fall and winter.  I checked it out, sanded it smooth and I am still using it for stumping.

They are on the heavy side.  My last batch averaged between 75-80 to 85-90.  With 69# @ 31.5in. they do pretty good.
