Suggestions for hacking a white cane?

kestrellI have a hook-handled white cane, which is my preferred form, but the elastic is stretched out, which makes the bottom shaft somewhat flaccid (for some reasons, men always seem to sound a bit perturbed when they point this out to me, go figure).
Anyway, I have a golf handle cane which I am willing to use for parts; has anyone done something like this? is it worth taking the newer one apart?
Alternatively, the elastic seems to be basic bungie cord; does anyone know the specifics on what I should be looking for?
FYI, I tried searching on white cane supplier Web sites for repair kits, but the elastic only seems to be available in bulk, $100 a spool, and I have a lifetime's supply of new cane tips still in their plastic (is this the blind equivalent to wire hangers? because I'm pretty certain cane tips are replicating in the dark corners of my closets).
