    Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft?

    Jacoby's V4 CF shaft may be an example. Who else has, as Jacoby claims with its V4 carbon-fiber shaft, "specially machined ferrule and thinner wall thickness near the tip end" with 19 inches of pro taper?

    Hybrid Shafts.

    JFlowers most-expensive shaft, its SMO carbon fiber, has two shock absorbers --- JFlowers' words --- to absorb vibration during the hit. They are near joint and tip ends. See it below and at this link __

    Hybrid Shafts.

    Ten inches means a third of the Cuetec Avid shaft is hollow. The Predator 314 (Z-3 and Vantage, too?) is about five inches hollow (314 and 314-2) and foam filled (314-3). See AZ thread 1, AZ thread 2 , AZ thread 3, PoolDawg below, and YouTube below. I am guessing companies seeking lower...

    As far as the souce of information regarding the ten inches of hollowed-out Avid shaft? See highlighted section from https://weststatebilliards.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Tech.pdf from February 2021

    Hybrid Shafts.

    How do you know the Cuetec Avid tip end is hollow? A three-year old Reddit discussion is the only mention I can find on that subject: The first thing I noticed oddly enough is that this shaft has a different resonance than a standard maple shaft. The fiberglass bonding lets them maintain...

    Has anyone here played with a "Glass Fiber Carbon" pool cue shaft?

    I suspect Evo developed this hybrid cue to make a low-price, indestructible, consistent quality cue. Its us at AZ who want to know more about the technology. Evo is like a lot of companies --- its hard to tell what the cue is. Its website describes the hybrid cue sparingly even though there...

    Has anyone here played with a "Glass Fiber Carbon" pool cue shaft?

    Evo butt on its $150 Meg series is "carbon and glass fiber". Its shaft is fiberglass:

    Decal cues are the best

    More flash: Evo's $150 Meg Series cues named Crimson Jaw, Abyss Blade, and Ember Fang. Shaft of fiberglass and butt of carbon fiber and fiberglass:

    Has anyone here played with a "Glass Fiber Carbon" pool cue shaft?

    I thought hybrid shafts were wood and carbon fiber or wood and fiberglass, but now there is fiberglass and carbon fiber. Viper and GSE sell them . .

    Hybrid Shafts.

    Cuetec Avid is a hybrid shaft of fiberglass-encased wood.

    Hybrid Shafts.

    If you want hybrid, go full hybrid of CF inside maple at one end and just CF at other. Cuelees EX Solid appears to be maple at tip end with carbon fiber tube inside AND, at joint end, only carbon fiber. AZer wrote :

    Pagulyan Carbon Fiber shaft?

    Taom sells chalk at its website in a wrapper printed with only V10 or Taom and the particular type (Pyro, Soft Chalk, 2.0). OmegaBilliards' website sells, however, chalk in a wrapper printed with Taom, Omega, Acme, V10, Trademark Registered, and Made in Finland. _

    90 deg cut shot

    I presume this is the maximum cut angle for pocketing shots. If the object ball is frozen to the rail, would the maximum cut angle for pocketing be 90 degrees using inside english and hitting the cushion first? I wrote that before finding another Bob Jewett video of a 100-degree shot of a...

    CF infused Torrified shafts.

    Catalin has a point that Pure X's description of the CF inside as carbon fiber materials sounds as if it could be practically nothing (see their website descriptions at end of post). Google AI, however, claims carbon fiber materials are used in shafts like Revo while carbon fiber tube is used...

    Measle balls in practice

    I tried to use the measle ball three times with fellows at this retirement community and they refused to play with them. First time no reason given, second time the ball obscured player's aiming, and today the ball was ridiculous.

    Jump Bridges?

    Maybe that was the Eazy Jump that is the wood part of the photo here. Now, that seems to violate pool rules while EZ Jumper does not: Eazy Jump is a novel piece of equipment; Eazy Jump does not have you place the palm of your hand on the table. Senior Tom also mentioned another jumper...

    Jump Bridges?

    The earlier-posted video showed EZ-Jumper being used with a round green cloth. The cloth didn't prevent jumps. The cloth comes with EZ-Jumper. Reviews on PoolDawg gave it four 5 stars and two 2 stars. Comments below. No comments on Amazon. I'm using it to learn how to jump. To be honest...
