No such thing
Yes such thing
graphite powder soaked into wood and baked
boiled and slivered maple woven into fabric and formed into shafts
I'll go with no such thing until further notice.

Saw one last nite at the hall I was working. Dude said he got it at derby. Trial thing. I can't recall the make. It was pricey. Hit good!!!
I took his word for the CF infused stuff. Was hoping somebody in here had seen one of these as well.

I was looking at a Hayakawa torrified shaft yesterday. I sold a lot of old Mezz stuff to a dealer/cue sales guy here, and he was showing me what he had in the modified 3/8x10 pin. It seemed like the same style as the Mezz expro with a carbon interior, But then I am no cue expert, and simply by look of the joint and hit. He mentioned it was carbon/KW mixed.
An actual mix? Concentric lamination?

I guess it was Carbon cored. A combination of language barrier, and low knowledge on the subject matter by myself. It felt similar to the expro I sold, and had a similar look where the jointing was. I couldn't say for certain, but he described it as a KW with carbon.
Carbon truss rod then. Is baked wood lighter or heavier than normal?

This had some weights you could insert. They were installed already to make this one 3.9 - so I assume, yes. They are lighter and you need to compensate for the desired weight - rather than it being a set weight.
Again, just my take on it as someone with low cue build knowledge
Thanks. I hate adverteasing. Chemistry, Carpentry, and Monsanto are separate genre.
There is a Pure X in sale forum
Torrified Maple is generally lighter than "normal." Most maple used in the cue building process is either vacuum or kiln dried. The torrification process is a step beyond even that.
Thanks. So the carbon insert, unless it's a solid rod, would have little to do with weight reduction. Still lost...Torrified Maple is generally lighter than "normal." Most maple used in the cue building process is either vacuum or kiln dried. The torrification process is a step beyond even that.
Hard to say. I'm certainly not an expert, or engineer. I know just enough to still be considered ignorant.
lol. They must know what they're doing. Want to see product right now!Hard to say. I'm certainly not an expert, or engineer. I know just enough to still be considered ignorant.

Didn't Pat Diveney make some? Or is it different than what you guys are talking about? I am also ignorant.
But someone is selling a cue in the for sale section, with a keilwood shaft that has a CF rod going down the length.

I have no idea. Just going by the OT. Looked at PureX and those are probably good shafts but the technology is apparently bogus.
I believe OB made a line of shafts called the OB Fusion. They were wood shafts with CF cores.
CF tube stiffens it . Doesn't do much for weight reduction
