Pechaurer Shafts

[Nine ... corner]

I have a Pechaurer Pro Series cue with a 13mm shaft. I also have a JP Series with a 13mm but am thinking about getting a Pechauer P+lite shaft which is 11.75mm. Any thoughts? I played for decades with a 12mm. Anyone have one or can offer some thoughts?

I have been playing with the P+lite shaft for a little over a year and I can say it is worth every penny. I tried every other LD shaft except for the Mezz ones and it seemed to play the most like a hard maple shaft than any other brand out there. It is a beast!!!

Feel free to PM with any questions you want to ask.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Pechauer LD's.
You should be good to go.

Thanks guys ... I appreciate the feedback.

I'm curious why you stopped playing with a 12mm.
I've been playing with a 12mm since the late 70s....
...it's low deflection but with more power than modern LD shafts....
....and I can make it squirt a little when I need to...something I can't do
with LD.

My shafts have a modified carom taper which makes for a stronger hit.
A pro taper 12mm hits like wet spaghetti.

I bought this pro pechauer and it had a stock 13mm shaft but now I'm thinking I would like to go back. Are you saying the Pro+lite 11.75mm will hit like wet spaghetti?

No, I don't expect the Pro+lite would hit like that....if it's anything like
a Z shaft, it will have a 'caromish' taper.

But if you took your 13mm to a cuemaker and told him to 'point' it to
a 12mm ( just shave on the last 6 or so inches )....it will hit like LD...
.... but a hit with more guts.

Where I have trouble with LD is long ,slow spin shots...where a 13mm
has a 'push' problem, the LD has a 'masse' problem.


I have found that 11.75 LD shafts are excellent for snooker.
