Only one example, but my Diveney Kielwood is the smoothest, slickest shaft I have other than my CF Becue. Maybe your experience is without one with a proper finish, no idea. But I doubt mine is some sort of unicorn.
Feels fine, sounds fine and LD if you like that. If not, of course don't use one, play what you like and what works with your experiences.
Yes my Kielwood shaft is the smoothest and slickest wood shaft I have also by a big margin. I have 4 Jacoby wood shafts and many other wood, Schon, McDermott, Joss, and DZ, all less slick than my Jacoby Kielwood. My Kielwood is probably the only wood shaft I have that I could easily use for hours without a glove.
Hopkins ran three racks in a row(45balls) in one of his proposition bets. Dick Lane said that AH was even money or better to run 50 in five tries. Back then that was some kind of shooting.

Yes, I do, a few, but not as much as others, that is also not the point. That cue is not to my taste, my opinion. I also know ceramic tiles and design...that is all I was saying, it is good work.... relax
You are absolutely entitled to your opinion but expressing it in a slightly more tactfully might be a better option then shitting on someone else's cue.
Even better if you don't know who a possible maker could be maybe just move on to the next thread.
