Bulletproof CF shaft.

See if you can get double-hit/push shot because of a soft cue tip.

What is also interesting about the Dr Dave result is that the shaft owner had no problems with the shaft. The double-hit and the differing responses using the Time Crystal tip depending on the player are new to me. Here is the owner's comments on Reddit:

I can def get a double with a softer tip. I have a bad habit of over-accelerating thru the shot. We all know what happens if that comes up when you're close to another ball.

My recommendation to anyone buying a CF shaft would be to do your homework first. 3k, 15k tow?? Filament wound, or??
Read up and find out what each of those mean and how one may appeal to your style of play moreso than the other.
It would suck to lay down 3 to 500 bucks for a shaft to find out it's too stiff or vice versa.
Even with a decent return policy, it's a hassle I'd want to avoid.

If you see a seam on your shaft it is not filament wound, all of the Becue shafts I own are filament wound, it makes a difference, plus Becue builds different shafts for different types of hit, my favorite is the Prime II, to me it has the perfect balance of feedback and stiffness of a CF shaft, it has some flex but not as much as thinner wooden shafts, this is the best playing cue I have ever owned.

Sounds like it has different tows woven together. 3k gives you the flex. Higher tow count gives you stiffness with thinner tube walls. Weight reduction.😁👍🏻

The engineers who started Becue were experts in CF and Pool players they wanted to bring to pool what CF did to golf, it would have been easy for them to fill some tubes with foam and start cashing in, instead they spent 3 years in R&D building what pool players thought was the best playing CF cue, they didn't stop there, they continue to build different shafts, not like most manufacturers, "now this is the best shaft ever shaft" but build shafts that have different feels, stiffer, less stiff, and even wood like feel, and you can get 30" and 31" length shafts, there butts are CF as well, check out there website and check out the Phsyche 2 cue, they are showing what can be done with art work in a full CF cue, if you're curious about full CF cues check out the website, questions? Email them they are very responsive, they made it to Super Billiards Expo this year and plan on coming back next year, their cues are built in Italy.
