I use Mothers Carnauba wax for cars on my shafts

And the results are in Maple burl handle, Malle burl forearm and butt sleeve more pics on this thread - https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/going-to-australia-any-interesting-wood-i-can-bring-home.566665/#post-7961513

Here you go. After a couple of year or so I got my cue, Maple burl handle, which was purchased in 2023, Mallee burl I got in Australia in 2024.

Could have been glued. Once of my rubber bumpers was constantly getting loose so I used Elmers glue to "fix" it.

Thanks for the replies, I am not a cue maker, so I sent it off to have the pin pulled, bored, tapped and re-attach, cue is now perfectly straight

Force of habit?

What makes the shaft and butt straight when connected, the pins or the flat surfaces of both shaft and butt? if the surfaces is not true, will it still be straight when connected?

Most pros use a glove when using CF shafts, at least the ones that I have seen on TV. I have both Rhino and Revo and using it without gloves works and find no need to use a glove.

A long time ago in a galaxy far away :cool: , discussions about how a certain type of joint material, flat face, wood to wood, piloted, radial, Uniloc, etc was a common topic and how it affects the hit was commonly debated, have we come to realize that in a blind test, it would be near...

How about a flat laminated maple, cut into 8 pieces and assembled like a Predator 314 shaft?

Sadly the Sadly the ring does not work on Uniloc joints :(

Thanks for the tip, I have one of those (13g) , will try it later...

What do you mean by "non traditional background" ?

Where are you located?

I mean, can you get two shafts using carbon, one is whippy shaft and the other stiff.
