I have had this idea for using a new ferrule material.
I just never have done anything with this idea so I figured I would post it and see what you guys think.
I am not a Laminated LD shaft person I don't say that to be offensive , its said because I prefer a solid hit and sound of the harmonic that a solid shaft makes ...
But I do work on customers cues and some are hard core LD shaft fans ...
And my mind is always thinking of ways to possibly improve something.
I am a farm boy and generally I was raised the machine is going in the dirt and make it strong which isn't how most LD shafts are made .
Pressed stacked pig skin ferrules is my idea.
There is a good chance I am not the first one to think about this idea .
At this time it does not look like I will ever get around into getting started to even test this Idea out .
I did try pressed stacked leather , Not pig skin and it was a failure.
I used epoxy as a glue .
The ferrule was not hard enough and that's where I stopped.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not, I know there are some very soft ferrules like
PVC .
