Yesterday you did not know if Revo was roll wrapped and today you speak like a little Enstein, your speech worth no more than nothing.
Because I couldn't figure out if you were trolling or not. I didn't feel the need to explain what that webpage already has there again. I was speaking from the standpoint of of which layers go which direction, how much angle each layer is started at. Thickness/width of the tow. And a multitude of other data points that matter. I don't know their exact process, and I don't care to. But to satisfy you, they're multi direction layers of a carbon tow, not weave, with a final filament coat. That good enough for you?
Manuf. process is the same. A golf shaft has to withstand WAAAY more stress than a pool shaft ever will. The flexing and twisting forces that a golf shaft has to put up with are tremendous. A pool shaft is basically getting tapped along the long axis. Doesn't require anywhere near the hi-modulus fibers that a golf shaft does. I talked to an engineer at Aldila about this and he said there is absolutely no reason a pool shaft should cost what they do other than just straight up greed.
You're not too far off, but you've forgotten that carbon fiber is much strong along is length axis. The fact that golf shafts are hollow increases their strength across their length. A tube that cannot deform slightly is weaker than one that can. A golf shaft may withstand the torsional load of the club head, and bending force of the shaft flex. But they cannot withstand an impact to the end fibers without splitting. Also add in the fact that golf shafts should never contact something as hard as a table either. You end up with a product of a completely different nature.
Do golf shafts/clubs have taper too ?
I'm seeing way too many problems with cf pool shafts.
Some have pit holes. Some easily mark or tear when getting worked on.
Seen some with lots of scratches by the tip.
I wax the ferrule area when trimming tips on them b/c they scratch easily with the blade.
Their balance can be funny. The added weight has to be near the middle.
If it's by the joint area only, the balance is just horrible.
Yes they have tapers. Direct relation to the intended kick point(launch angle and spin) of the shaft. A slim neck(near the club head) and a fat middle is a considered a low kick shaft. They're designed to produce a low launch and low spinning ball. Intended for people with better swings.
Golf shaft manufacturing has definitely went through the same stage of problems that these new cues shafts are experiencing. They've gone from the standard weave rolled around a mandrel, to multi-layered directional winding's of a tow. We will eventually get to a point where we wont need to add anything to increase weight. Right now there is no reason the shafts need to have a continuous uniform wall thickness from tip to joint.
Cue makers will understand the importance of the beginning steps to ensure a quality product eventually. Right now its all about the greed. Just like desi trying to make a carbon weave based shaft to get on the bandwagon.
Nobody can be sure of that!
Why butts are always straight taper? Mine and some of my friends have the same diameter for 12 inch long, mine have 30mm and I prefer it than straight taper...
It seems you have far more to learn about the way things really work before you're ready to jump into this endeavor of yours. Everything we think we know for tapers now, goes out the window when dealing with carbon shafts now. Wall thickness and such affect flex. A 14mm tip with a wall thickness of 1mm will flex way more than a 12mm tip with a 1mm wall.
