I have 50-year-old shafts with thousands of hours of play and thousands of games on them and none of them have dings.

What are you doing to ding them up?

Do you clean it?
Maybe some sanding over the years to keep it smooth. Have you measured its diameter? I’ll bet it’s smaller than it used to be…
My 16-17 years old Predator 314-2 was 12.75 when new, it’s 12.5 now without heavy sanding.
Do you really think it plays just like it was new? You just keep adapting to it as years go by… a CF shaft will stay the same.

Does top spin and bottom spin affect the cue ball's path after hitting a cushion?

I understand that using top and bottom will change the path of the cue ball after hitting the object ball. But what about after it hits a rail? I think the common saying is that, without sidespin, angle in equals angle out. But does having a lot of top spin or bottom spin on the cue ball when it hits the rail affect its path after it comes off said rail?

I know that using bottom / top on kick shots will shorten or lengthen the kick but I haven't noticed that the top/bottom affects the cue ball after it hits a rail after shooting at an object ball.

Here's an example shot where if I shoot with maximum high, it seems the angle in really equals angle out without the top spin affecting the cue ball after rail contact. https://www.chalkysticks.com/diagram/CF244cY.png

So why is it so apparent on kick shots but not on shots where you hit an object ball?

There's a lot more to it but the simple answer is that draw and follow cause the CB to curve "after" it hits something. Your diagram shows that. On kicks the curve occurs "after" hitting the rail which results in shortening or lengthening. The CB only curves once, it's just a matter of when and where.

Help identify joint pin?

So why do you not show it with some kind of measuring tool. Are we suppose to guess where the one inch mark is?

The Thread Pitch Gauge is a measuring tool, that measures the amount of thread turns per inch. Do you not see it in my picture? The tool tells me that it is a 10. I tried the 11, but it would not fit at all. Fits perfectly for the 10 though. Even before I got this tool though, I was pretty sure that it measured 10 thread turns per inch. I am just not sure if it is a standard 3/8 pin. It just does not look standard to me.

N2 / SL19 / STL17 all share the same design that looks like the base for this cue. This one has the extra black points with the spear inlay between the points and the locations of the rings on the butt are a bit different.
No LTD or Elite or SP marks with the logo so my guess is that it was part of a series made for some dealer.
Probably worth between $1500 to $2000 as it is used and it shows
