I've always wanted to try one but haven't got a chance. What is the hit and feel of a whippy shaft?

Thanks for the input. I only ask so much because you guys do amazing work and I don't have the knowledge to know the extent of the possibilities. Im just asking to see what is possible. I feel like the specs are pretty normal. When it boils down to it, I just want two shafts, one stiff and one...

Very interesting and informative. Couple questions. What would you look for when finding a softer wood that would play lively? Would you look at grain and growth rings, or is something else an indicator? What specs would you think to use for a shaft I described? Maybe a 30 inch shaft, 12mm, 17...

Would any of things that make a wood softer, or have less spine, inherently lead that shaft to have more deflection then a shaft that has the same specs but with more spine?

I'm thinking of getting two, mostly identical shafts made. Solid maple, no splicing, 3.8 oz, 12.4mm, 29 inches, pro taper. I'd like both to be a lively, in terms of vibrational feedback, as possibleThe only real difference I want is for one to be stiff and one to be whippy. How exactly would you...

Does the flex soely come from the diameter

Can you elaborate on the wood coming into play, admittedly I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject.

First what is a whippy shaft? A shaft with a lot of flex and vibration? Then is the only thing that makes a shaft whippy a small diameter, long, pro taper? Or are there other factors?

What would be the difference in playability

What's the difference between roasting and torrification?

I own a Kielwood, my biggest issue with it is that it doesn't feel lively, is there a way to get a Kielwood to play soft and lively?

What is the hit and feel like? I'm looking for an ld shaft that lively, not extremely stiff with a softer hit.

Is it possible, with the right wood, to make a Kielwood that hits soft

Does anyone have any experience with mezz shafts? Specifically the the hit and feel of the 12.5 sigma and the 700. For comparison I own an ob classic plus, tiger pro, Bob dainelson kielwood and a meucci pro maple. I'm looking for something not stiff, on the softer side, like the meucci but with...

Been playing around with weight and balance point on my player and wondering if anyone is aware of studies, discussions or anecdotal experience with if balance point and weight affect the amount of deflection using the same butt and shaft? I remember seeing a clip a while back with earl trying...

Anyone got a simple looking, cheap, wood pin cue they're looking to sell?

Seems ridiculous to ask, but you don't still have this do you?
