    Low deflection??

    I have a 13mm Joss shaft that weighs 3.6 ounces. I bought the Joss HP shaft and it weighs 3.8 ounces. Ive done deflection test comparing both and set up many shots. I can't tell a damn bit of difference. Any ideas why?

    Joss HP shaft

    The Joss HP shaft has a lightweight dowel in the front to reduce end mass. The shaft is 12.75. I use a regular Joss shaft at 12 mm. I am wondering if my 12 mm wouldn't naturally have less end mass/deflection than the 12.75 HP shaft. Any thoughts? Ty

    rubber bumper

    What type of rubber bumper in the butt section is best? Is there a best shape and does it affect deflection? Would a carbon fiber butt bumper be better?

    Deflection difference

    Viking has the V Pro shaft and the Vikore. The ferrule is the same material and length on both shafts. The only difference is the Vikore is cored near the end of the shaft with a lighter wood. If you are replacing wood with lighter wood, how is that really any noticeable or even meaningful...

    Inflation???

    In this last year I have watched Predator shafts go from $300 to $339 and now they are at $359. 20% in a years time. That's a lot. But some cue prices have stayed the same for the most part, a few have increased price but not many that I have seen. No idea why I started this thread. Just...

    The Cosmic Comedy continues

    Started out in life playing with a 13mm shaft. last 20 years I've been playing with 12.75-12.5. I wanted to try lower, like 12mm. I play with a Joss with a standard maple Joss shaft. So I ordered a 12mm shaft from the Poolcueshop on Ebay. I get the shaft and it's fatter than my 12.5 that I...

    Playing characteristics of shaft wood

    Keith Josey questions

    What I am asking is totally subjective. I get it. I am considering ordering a Josey sneaky. Rosewood. I currently play Joss, regular maple shaft, 12.5 with a Triangle. How are Josey cues balanced, hit, feel? How do you think they play? Thank you for any info.

    Build a soft hitting cue

    Thank you in advance for any advice. In 1997 I bought a Mike Erwin cue and it played so smooth. When I would stroke the cue ball it was like shooting into a cloud or a pillow. Sometime I couldn't even feel it hit the cue ball. I am wanting to know, if you had to build a cue to play as soft...
