Barnhart Roasted Maple Shafts, aka Kielwood

I just acquired my 2nd Cory Barnhart Kielwood shaft from Superior Cues. As always, Martin is a delight to do business with. I didn’t complete Payment until Sunday and the shaft arrived this morning (Wednesday) by 10:30 AM. Martin packed it as securely as any cue, shaft or any merchandise I’ve ever received. He deserves cudos for outstanding packaging. The shaft is gorgeous but looks matter less than how the shaft plays. This new shaft is for my radial pin Scruggs cue, or maybe it should be referred to as a Scruggs/Cochran cue.

The below photos show you the 4 KW shafts I have and 2 are for my Scruggs cue. Of course, I still have the orig. maple shafts but Kielwood just plays so much better than the orig. shafts are in storage at home. The new shaft is 12.6 mm and weighs 4.04 ozs. flat faced wood. My other Barnhart KW shaft, lighter in color, is 12.85mm and weighs 3.81 ozs. Either shaft plays better than my 4 oz. orig. maple shafts. Forgot to mention Barnhart roasted maple shafts are 29.5”.

If you are not a devotee of carbon fiber, get your hands on a KW shaft but do yourself a favor and try to get a little heavier version KW shaft. I have tried some lighter weight KW shafts & you can keep ‘em. 3 of 4 KW shafts I have are 4 ozs, are not cored and sans any weight inserts. I played with my new Barnhart shaft today. Never tried it, straight out of my case and I broke and ran a rack of 10 ball easily. The shaft shoots as straight as I’d ever want or desire. And I think it looks nice with my Scruggs cue butt. Anyway, you can decide for yourselves.

Back to the original topic I would like to hear from those that participated or watched.

As for the latest sidetracked...plastic changed the pool world in a huge way with the better ball sets. Plastic also killed action as people don't carry cash like they used to.

I disagree. People who are looking to play a $20-$100 set carry just that much cash. Gamblers will either have on them, or in their trunk enough money to put up a good set or 2 without having to leave. Most CC's don't allow you to take out enough to fund a good set anyway.

Old cue

I agree with the others it looks like a modern import cue. General rule of thumb is American brand production cues have a logo (even if the factory is overseas), custom cues have a signature and/or logo, and import cues are unmarked.

Some plastics also look like ivory. If you look closely at a meucci joint, it seems to have grain like ivory does, but its plastic.

The only modern cues that used ivory were custom cues. No production cues, either USA based or import, used them. Unless you go back to the antique Brunswick cues from 1900, that's a different story.

Best pit table in the country

Shane Wolford's family room in VA is sort of a continuous pit. The room is split into two halves, one half has a row of 9', the other half has a row of 7'. Each row has the tables placed side rail to side rail. Between each half is a raised platform maybe 5' in the air. It has tables/chairs, a wide railing on its entire perimeter, and steps on each end. It makes good viewing to watch a match from above, on any of the tables.
