Any reviews out there for UNLIMITED (Double Carbon) Carbon Fiber shafts (from Japan)?

Edit: I just found a review of the UNLIMITED (Double Carbon) Carbon Fiber shaft, just in case anyone here would like to read about it. The review appears to come directly from the cue maker.

Long shot question, but I would really like to find any reviews (or hear any thoughts) about the UNLIMITED (Double Carbon) Carbon Fiber shafts.

By the way, UNLIMITED is a custom pool cue maker in Japan.

I like the look of the taper on these shafts, but just curious to read some reviews about them.

I know, you might be thinking, why not just ask Newart how they feel about the hit. Well, I would rather ask those who actually purchased, and used one, and not a retail store. The customer service has been very nice, and honest with me in the past though, so they probably would be honest, if I were to ask them.

I am also curious about some of the other CF shafts that are made in Japan, other then the Mezz Ignite.

Thanks for any thoughts, if you happened to ever try out any of the CF shafts, from Japan (other then the Mezz Ignite).

For those of you that don't have translate and all that happy jazz, this is a carbon fiber shaft with a CF rod inside filled with typical urethane foam.
They typeset I read said it's difficult to make a solid CF shaft. Who knew??
It also compares this shaft to a high quality wood shaft. I found that surprising.
My guess is, cheap layered woven CF tube with a rod inside that's necessary to reinforce the cheaper outer CF tube. It may hit well, may hit like every other and this is just a gimic.
I found it hard to find out much about the company and where they were sold except for a mention about eBay. But that is no longer available. Strange, since they've supposedly been available for over a year. Comes with a good tip which is half the battle and affects hit to a large extent.
Other than that, without specific numbers like the k count on the fiber used, and dimensions of the core rod, I'd hold off on pulling the trigger on this one until it's made more available with more info and not just market speak.
That is, if you can even find one.
Save yourself the hassle and just buy a Hybrid!!

Thanks for your reply. I guess that most (if not all) of these custom cue makers out there, use cheap CF tubes, from China.

I also see that the high end shafts, that cost $500-$700, list the specs that you were referring to in your reply, and many of them probably also make their own CF tubes. That might have sounded really dumb, when I put those two facts together, lol.

I guess if I want a really high quality CF shaft, then those are the prices that I will have to pay.

Cue/shaft marketers love guys like you. Don't have to spend 500-700bux to get a hi quality shaft.
