As the title says, I am in the market to buy an extra shaft.
It will be an "extra" shaft that I don't "really" need... SO... I'm not looking to spend a whole lot on it.

I have a Bebot Bautista Plain Jane on order but until it makes its way here to me in the U.S.
... the only player I have in my case is a Sneakiest Pete.

The Sneakiest is a great cue, but the shaft doesn't hit as firm or as stiff as I'd like.
So I'm hoping to find a low-priced, but decent quality shaft that has a stiff hit.

These are the specs I'm looking for:
  • thread size: 3/8x10, Flat-faced Pin type, Minor diameter = 0.308"
  • joint diameter: 0.86" or 21.80mm (slightly larger diameter might be okay)
  • length: 29" (longer is okay)
  • weight: between 3.8 - 4.2 oz.
  • condition: shaft can be "used", but must be straight

I spent most, if not "all" of my pool cue budget on my Bebot PJ... So I don't have much to spend on this "extra" shaft.
It may be a tough search but can't go over $50 shipped to Calif.

But, IF you have an extra shaft with the specs listed above (or close to it) then show me what you got!

Thanks :smile:

Ebay is your best bet, dude.

Good luck with the search.

Thanks. I'll give eBay a look, but hard to find shafts for 3/8x10 with .308 minor diameter.

Have you tried a harder tip?

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have tried two different hard tips (Kamui II Hard and a White Diamond)

However, I am looking for a "stiffer" shaft that I can put a Med/Soft tip on.
One of the places I practice at has a 9 ft Brunswick GC with VERY worn felt.
And I feel that a stiff shaft combined with a medium to soft tip would give the cue ball more action with less effort in order to counteract the slow table speed.

With my limited budget I realize that I may be better of searching on eBay,
but most 3/8x10 shafts listed on there are the standard McDermott type threads and would need to be tapped by a cuemaker.
