It is most definitely a 10pc spliced Kielwood shaft w/carbon core, not just the regular maple It is tapped for 3/8-10, not the 3/8-10 modified pin. Some manufacturers make it so it works on both, others don't. It fits fine on my 3/8-10 jointed Varney cue, but not my modded pin cues. It's fine, I used it today for several hours on the Varney, and the combination is great. It came with a Kamui brown Medium tip. Took about an hour to get used to it, and it is much nicer to play with than the Revo. I may get another in the smaller diameter, too. I find the deflection to be almost as low, but not quite the same as the Revo. It's only in the most extreme use of English that I'll notice it, but it's just a slight adjustment. The way it worked for me today, I'll likely be keeping the Revo as the backup and getting this one tapped for the modified pin, which makes it work on both styles. One benefit that I didn't even consider is that a wood shaft is much more visible than a black CF shaft, and makes it much easier to sight shots when keeping my eyes on the object ball.
What type of shots are giving you trouble?
