I understand that this is a very long shot question, but those out there who might be into the Japanese Custom cue market, may know of HAMA cues, from Japan.
HAMA cues builds a very unique type of Hybrid Carbon / Maple shaft, that I think looks very interesting.
Here is an example of a HAMA cue that a customer had the cue maker build, but that is probably a rare example, because the customer had HAMA make it into 5 pieces, to put into a very compact type of custom case, that they also had HAMA make, I assume.

By the way, the above post is not even a review about how the shaft plays, not to mention, the cue above was made in a very different way, cut into 5 parts. So, I assume that might affect the hit too, compared to a normal 2 Piece HAMA cue.
Oh, and also, I do not even know how to contact the cue maker, but even if I could, I would not want to bother him, about a review on his shafts. Rather see a review from maybe one of his customers anyways.
Anyways, I am mainly just very curious to find any reviews about the Carbon / Maple Hybrid shafts that HAMA does, with all of the HAMA cues that I ever seen.
I just think they look so cool, but I wonder if they are very nice playing cues, or if they have the type of power that the high end full Carbon shafts offer.
I recently learned that there are a few guys here in the US that also build these Hybrid Carbon / Maple shafts, but the better one is kind of pricey at around $400.
Anyways, maybe there might be some members on here from Japan, who might share their thoughts about one of these shafts, or maybe someone out there might see this post, and share their thoughts about HAMA cues, or their Hybrid Carbon / Maple shafts.
I just think they look really interesting, and I love the look of the long straight taper, that does not appear to get much thicker at all, before it goes into the Maple section, which is probably at least 16" (or maybe more) down the shaft.
Thanks for any thoughts.
