Carbon fiber shaft PROBLEM

[Roger Illinois]

Anyone know a fix?
The joint of my carbon fiber shaft tightens during play, so tight that it is very difficult to break down.

A soft bar soap like Ivory on the threads might help. If not, I'd get a cue maker or repair person to chase the threads in the shaft.

I learned in the 70's from a good player.
Each time he takes out the butt end of the cue, he'd take the threading and rub it lightly on his nose.
It works, the skin secrets oils/sweat and helps your R&R.
I learned another sweat move from Evelyne Wanderone/Fats wife of 43 yrs.
He did something similar with his cue tips.
Ev said he put the tips that he was going to use next, left them in his pockets for months, to absorb his bodys sweat and natural oils that helped cure the leather, that kept it from drying out.

Fake news. Carbon fiber shafts have no problems.

That's what ev and the rounders from Johnston City told me in my youth, it works. Just the way it was and is.

Beeswax is good for screw threads when joining wood and is a lubricant, would be another option.
