JV is absolutely correct about the shaft sizes and ultimate cue value.
There are going to be players that like thin shafts. That’s okay I suppose.
Then there’s the remainder of the cue buying world and it’s just not so.
12.5 is pushing it with maple shafts because of the taper’s flexibility.
Revo is offering it and other CF manufacturers too but it is not wood.
The market responds to 12.75 to 13mm shafts so much better than smaller.
Shafts from a 3rd party render the cue more playable but add nothing to its value.
So pay close attention to experts like JV or else accept the monetary risks you’d incur.

I agree if carbon fiber shafts came in larger diameters. They would sell twice as many.
