Hey guys I was curious a few weeks back looking all over the Internet for that perfect ld shaft that didn't hit like the others. So I stumbled upon a joss hp shaft and said to myself what the heck give it a try. Well I reviewed the shaft today and I was in awe...the hit was like a ton of bricks as others would say. It felt like a Vollmer cue I tried out few months back that just felt so solid that it was a what us young folk would say natural low deflection, what I mean for those who don't understand it feels like a top notch one piece maple shaft you would get with a famous cue maker IMP. I'm trying to give you guys the best example without sounding like a total noob. Awsome low key shaft that needs much more recognition and that's coming from a picky pool player that has played with all the top of the line production shafts. If you like a old school feel with modern technology this is for you.
