Does construction technique for CF shafts ensure extremely uniform wall thickness, density, etc.? Seems to me that might matter - does it?
Thanks in advance...

And if not, is the change gradual? How much control is there over wall thickness over the shaft's length?On a "tapered" CF shaft, is the thickness of the "wall" the same at the ferrule as it is at the joint end?

Haven't heard of any issues...

That is the answer I am seeking, too.
I have three carbon fiber shafts and had a fourth. The one I don't have anymore seemed to have more of a "pinging" sound sometime than the three I still have. The ones I still have are all Becue shafts.
I don't know why the other shaft had the "pinging". I'm thinking it had something to do with the way it was constructed. My Becue shafts are "quiet".
Very interesting - thanks.

I wonder if there's any shaping done (or possible) after forming and curing...?

How many of the above CF shaft "experts" have ever played on TV. YouTube doesn't count.

That is true of flag-wrapped shafts. Almost all(golf) shafts now are filament wound and these are virtually spine-free. The REVO is filament-wound but i'm not sure of other shafts.Whenever you are dealing with anything manufactured, you will have variations. +/-, etc. Not a knock, just a fact. With CF shafts, you will also find that most all of them, have a "spine." What that essentially means, is that at some point within the shafts alignment, there is a plane at which that particular shaft, will perform the most consistent, or repeatable. Professional golfers, and golf club shaft manufacturers have known this for years, which is why a large number of them have their shafts spine aligned. In the golf shaft industry, it's known as shaft puring, or pure-ing. Hope this helps.
I thought the question was about manufacturing variation, not Fargo ratingsHow many of the above CF shaft "experts" have ever played on TV. YouTube doesn't count.
WTF does that have to do with anything??How many of the above CF shaft "experts" have ever played on TV. YouTube doesn't count.
In golf shafts the big end is stronger due to diameter so its thinner than at the tip end. I would think a pool shaft would be much the came. Pool shaft isn't stressed like a golf shaft but i bet the tip end still has thicker walls.On a "tapered" CF shaft, is the thickness of the "wall" the same at the ferrule as it is throughout the length of the shaft until it gets to the joint, or does the thickness increase all the way down?
I now have two white 5.1 shafts (12 mm tip, conical taper) , a black one Prime M which is their "pro taper" - a 12 mm tip with really long skinny taper, and another black one on order in 5.1 conical taper.
Apparently a slow day in the non pool related forum.WTF does that have to do with anything??
Could you post a pic of the shafts, curious to see them. Thanks
