If you own a cue where a black carbon shaft looks good with the cue butt design, that’s a plus.
Typically it means you had better own a ebony cue butt because otherwise it looks mismatched.
I think less defection can help players but carbon fiber shafts without a clearly defined tip leave
a lot to be desired. I’ve tried 5 different brands & only Cuetec provided that sight picture, I.e., ferrule.
Even with that feature, Cuetec’s shaft has the same appearance as all the other carbon fiber shafts.
It only looks good, having nothing to do with the way it plays, when it’s matched with a ebony cue butt.
Gun colors have morphed over the years and now come in a variety of color options. Desert tan is a
popular color and if it can be accomplished with gun metallurgy I’m sure it can be also done with cues.
If a low deflection shaft can be made that looks like maple and has a ferrule, like the Cuetec design,
tell me where to send payment cuz I’lll buy and try it. Otherwise, carbon fiber shafts have zero appeal.
