Need an idea for a forged spear pole material

[Black cat]

Ok perhaps my strangest question yet

I'm about to forge a spear head but I don't know what would be good for a pole.
I considered oak for strength but it can shatter, I considered waxwood for flex but it can flex too much.

I need it too be as tough as possible, hard but not brittle. Doesnt have to be wood... Modern synthetics can work as well.

Problem is everything I find is about traditional spear poles, waxwood or oak. Neither really suit my needs as i've used both in the past and want something much tougher.

Try ash. Use it for making baseball bats. Vikings loved it for spears.
