Where are all the CF butts?

What I want to know is where are all the wood shafts in 5/16 x14 from quality cue makers that all you guys don’t use anymore since you shifted to CF after your dose of Kool Aid?

If any of you are of a mind to sell these quality wood shafts you no longer use, DM me with what you have. Thank you
I think the good wood has all been snapped up, no?

Patience seems gone too these days, and not just in this scenario.

I'm guessing carbon cost at the manufacturer level must be near equal to appropriate quality wood and the time to turnover is far quicker.

Add that to the fact that carbon can be tuned to practically infinite specs, shiiiit. I think we see where we are going.

Like bicycles, unless you go boutique you're only going to get carbon frames, forks, wheels, bars, seatpost and seat rails.

I think we see where we are going and I play primarily with wood and guess I prefer it

P.S. just between the two of us, keep an eye out for Paul dayton shafts. I have a couple and they are top notch. He isn't a major name in the game but his shit was real good. RIP

Figured BEM handle, on a Players PureX pool cue. Real, or Fake / Decal / Graphic Overlay?

I have a Pechauer cue with simulated ebony, but it is just what they call the outline of the points. It’s not like they are staining “poplar”black and calling it “tulipwood”.
Actually, Pechauer definitely stains and makes "simulated ebony", as do some othe "prominent" makers, not just outlines. Not commenting on your cue.

What hardwood they are staining is often not specified.

They also will use African Blackwood.

Sometimes they advertise ebony, but that is a color, when you read the specs you are told it is stain.

In addition there are varieties of ebony.

Ebony supply is getting difficult and expensive, especially the jet black variety.

Vice City Filler vs Marc Bijsterbosch Ref Poor Position to make the call

Maybe in some 'Local' Bullshit 3C events in US!

In 'International; 3C' events, the table mechanics in many instances literally finish clothing the tables an hour before the tournament starts!

3C cloth is Very slippery when New, the balls 'Slide/Spin/Curve/ more than the speed of the CB moving forward!
I'd love to pick your brain on how in the hell one changes to play on new cloth. I'm lost on it and you good players clearly are not.
