    How long does a shaft last?

    I agree with everything u said. The 314s are using waterbased glue to hold the laminates together. That was what i was told. Cleaning it too much may make it delaminate faster. Perhaps it may be better not to clean them at all.

    How long does a shaft last?

    when you guys say maintained properly, meaning its kept in the cue case and wiped down every time you finished playing? i never clean my shafts. because i do not really like to introduce too much moisture to the wood. the humidity level is high where i lived. thats why i asked about shaft...

    How long does a shaft last?

    Hi Guys How long does a normal playing shaft last before it show signs of warping or delaminating ( in the case of 314s) or how long before the ferrule cracks? I played with 314s a lot and their ferrules cracked after sometime and one even delaminated from the ferrule spilt to the middle of...

    Hi Guys I stopped playing for a few years and recently found some time to play again. The 314 shaft i used to play with seems to have some cracks and delaminations on the ferrule area and the wood just below the ferrule. I wonder how did it happened inside the case, maybe the glue just dried...

    How important is the sound a tip makes to you?

    I have a shaft with a old moori tip on it and it gave a sweet ping sound, not too loud, it feels about right. I put another shaft with a triangle tip on the same butt gave a dull thud when hit and also felt quite dead. But i think it's personal preference, sound or no sound, overall it should...

    playing tip

    I tried playing with snooker cues before, I believe they are around 9mm in diameter. surprisingly stiff I would say, still I felt that smaller tip diameters leads to more misses in straight ins shots. maybe it's due to my flawed stroke i guess. whereby a thicker diameter would be more forgiving?

    playing tip

    interesting. How about if we factor in the stiffness/whippyness of the 13.5mm and 11.75 shaft diameter Would it change anything if the tip shape and hardness is the same?

    playing tip

    hmm i use 12.75mm (i think) that comes standard with 314 shaft. But was thinking recently that with a bigger diameter like 13.25mm to 13.5mm, you make straight in shots easier. because you will hit the ball more squarely. Not sure how true is that because I do not have a bigger shaft to test...

    life of a tip before installation.

    I once had half a moori fly off after a fresh installation before. perhaps the aluminium foil was not airtight in storage.
