Thats what this kid said dude told him when he bought it. $500 bucks?? Said he got it half off!!!

Here it's 3500rmb (about 500$) and that's full price. Kieth Andy and Hayakawa offering similar product. The Hayakawa (Boron) one is especially common it seems on Xianyu.
This shaft looked exactly like a Torrified maple shaft.
I could read the size, 11.8mm. the brand however was worn and I can't recall who he said made it. My question is how do you put cf in a shaft if not coring?? Is there some manufacturing process whereby cf is layered throughout or fiber woven into the actual maple??
Sounded like sci Fi to me until I hit w one. It hit Good. Lol. If that's coring, it works. Shaft wasn't heavy. Seemed rather light in fact.
Ok so these are pop overseas??
Wonder why they haven't taken off here yet?? Next best, newest tech usually flies off shelves. Lol.
Why not just buy a cf shaft??
Anybody know what coring does for hit or feedback on those type shafts??
Thanks!!
I believe that the attempt, was to try to get CF "performance" with the look/aesthetics of a wood shaft.
This is just my guess as to what the manufacturer may or may not have been going for. Purely speculation on my part.
I get it but isn't stiffness an attribute of baked wood?

EX Pro (EXP) | Mezz Cues: High Quality High Performance Cues, Shafts and Gear
Mezz cues is a high quality, high performance pool, carom and snooker cues, 100% made in Japan.
The EX Pro shaft features the next generation Hybrid carbon core (HCC) and the EX front-end technology. The HCC strikes the right balance between hardness and flexibility creating more power without any loss of cue ball control. Reduced cue ball deflection along with additional power increase is provided by the enhanced EX front-end technology. These technological advancements together with the EX Pro Taper and the Zan Plus2 M Tip makes the EX Pro the best low deflection shaft in the world.
EX Front End Technology
The newly developed front end construction consists of three layers; the NX ferrule, maple wood and carbon pipe. Additionally, 15cm (5.9inch) of the front end core is comprised of maple and light weight foam. This ingenious design promotes “less deflection” at the moment of impact with the cue ball and the shaft enabling more power, spin accuracy and control.
Hybrid Carbon Core (HCC) Technology (Patented)
The newly developed HCC Technology is embedded with a 470mm two-step carbon fiber rod in the bottom end of the hard maple. This equalizes the stiffness and vibration of the shaft while yielding accurate control of the cue ball.

The HybridPro was made this way. It had a 12.8mm shaft tho. IMO its the best shaft they ever made.Mezz's carbon core in a maple shaft, its EX Pro shaft. Info copied from its website:

Or another way of putting it, the Mezz EX Pro 29" shaft has
__________ 19 inches of carbon-fiber rod inside maple wood at the joint end (18.5 exactly),
__________ 4 inches of solid maple in the middle, and
__________ 6 inches of maple hollowed it and filled with foam below the tip.

imagine a crunchy center would be the result of something like
BlackBall's Post #30 is a figure of Longoni shafts:
i assume it will make it stiffer with less weight, possibly also less prone to warp (depending on how thick core). icbw
That is true.
Bill Stroud designed something similar to this if I'm not mistaken for Universal, back in the day. His shafts had piezoelectric cloth woven into the shaft to soften the vibrating. A dampening effect, I think he called it. Cloth?? Why not woven carbon fiber throughout on these babies??
