How straight is your shaft?

How straight is considered straight obviously 0 runout is the goal. Ive been working on this shaft for couple weeks. It was almost a quarter inch out. I got it with in .005

How straight is your shaft?

As is my usual habit, I consulted my wife as she is the expert on most things.

She said she does not have a dial indicator but will make a rough estimation later. Data is pending.

I really don't think having that straight of a shaft matters. If in you pre-shot warm up you are constantly lining up with the exact same contact spot and don't spin the shaft you should be fine. The minute you rotate the shaft the pre-shot routine should be done again

4 thou in that jig, how accurate is the jig itself.. There's enough humidity in the air to change that reading from one day to the next. Cues are NOT aerospace parts..

If rotating your shaft is making you miss shots, throw it away.

Throw all your stuff away.

Nobody on the planet has ever missed a ball because they rotated their shaft.
