Well, new , new , another new shaft. Really? I took a 1960's black graphite shaft from a $5.00 cue , foam filled it as I did 30 years ago while being in the plastics business as a consultant ; added my joint and ferrule....played great...actually toooo great for what it was!!! Couple guys at the billiard room asked if it was a Revo, I laughed and explained that it was not a 500.00 shaft . A salesman can sell you anything if you believe it puts balls in easier...we've all done that. With time on the table you can adapt with any cue...Hoppe used the same cue for over 17 years..he knew what it would do. Marketing is expensive and technical jargen is there to impress and justify pricing as in any well oiled business venture. With newer machines products can be made consistent , cosmetically appealing and fasssst.
Experiment yourself , you will be amazed at the simplicity to make a good playing shaft.
