For those who wanted to know . . . here is the inside of a new CF Meucci shaft . . . this one came to me broken and we cut it open . . . ha.
Agreed...way cool for you to do and share. Thanks.
But...
How did it break!? I love me some cue-must-pay stories.
So it is a laminated wood for the first few inches and then filler from there to threads? And the filler density changes from Tip--> thread end?
I don't think it's laminated, that looks like growth ring grain. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a carbon fiber shaft.
Thanks for sharing that.
Now I wonder what is inside the other brands to make them "different".
Near interesting...I think the area at the tip shows near identical spacing, but then as you look lower, the uniform pattern does appear far more natural.
I can only imagine how they got here.
The were sitting around the boardroom one day and someone said "I know, let's make a carbon fiber shaft". And then someone said "I know, let's make a wooden shaft and make it look like carbon fiber." and someone said "why waste all that wood? Let's make a carbon fiber shaft, plug it with our unusable wood, and stuff it with shit we find." And someone said "why didn't I think of that?" and high fives for all.
Sounds plausible.
Especially if you have seen their normal LD setup.
It allows the ferrule to "flex" out of the way of the cb. :thumbup:
That's high tech "power piston technology" right there
Mu jacoby black has a xray shot of its inside
Looks like a big wood core also
It doesnt make me think any less of them
I gotta a custom cf in the works and cant wait
