The "ugly yellow handles' were both more expensive and quite a bit
heavier (maybe three times heavier) when I held one the wood in one hand
and the yellow fiberglass in the other hand.

So, I opted for good old hickory.

In hindsight, would the installation have been any different on the
yellow fiberglass handles?
