No. CF tube/rod down the center. That's what Oscar said and he uses that shaft. They aren't weaving cf fabric between the plys. Near impossible to do.

Thanks Gman.
I msg'd Oscar ystrday and he said that YES there is a cf rod/tube down the center. Said its not full length but most of it. He uses the laminated maple at 12.9 and loves it.Thanks Gman.
The i-Pro shafts have CF running through them and have been available for years.
Or is this something different?

This post is about cue shafts made of carbon fiber in torrified wood or kielwood. As far as I know, the Pure X Kielwood FUZE shaft is the only one.
As far as carbon fiber in non-torrified maple shafts, there is
McDermott's Intimidator i-Pro shafts
Mezz EX Pro
OB Cues Fusion shaft. Although no longer in business, they're still available at https://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/ob-1/ob-fusion-6-shafts.htm
Does anyone else manufacture carbon fiber in wood shafts?

Konllen KL-HH (CXD-1) break cue’s butt is a carbon-fiber tube with a maple-wood interior. The shaft is carbon fiber and no wood.
OB Cues' Fusion: No figure for the shaft. The now-closed company is described it as
On the inside there is a shaft that is fabricated from unidirectional carbon fiber. The unidirectional layers are oriented to provide high bending stiffness and axial strength, as well as high hoop strength (resistance to crushing from a side load). Your shaft will feel super stiff, which is a good thing!
On the outside there is a shaft that is meticulously crafted from seasoned AA Grade Hard Maple. This is the highest quality maple that we have ever used in an OB shaft. The carbon fiber shaft is carefully placed inside the maple shaft and then bonded using a 2 part 3M epoxy developed specifically for a perfect marriage between carbon fiber and maple.

Wish Diveney could put a carbon rod in the double roasted Trans K shafts with repeatable precision. I'd snag one in a heartbeat. I know a few have been made but not in mass quantities.
The double baked Trans K is the best feeling shaft I've ever shot with. Immediate feedback and sound on a well struck or poorly struck shot.

AI: talk a lot/ not saying anything.That makes no sense. They give several answers to the same question all of which contradict the other as you said. It's not supposed to be a cored shaft, so wrapping CF around the core is out, unless it's a cored shaft!?!
It would have to be transparent CF if it were on the outside of the shaft, like those fiberglass coated jobbies!?!
The more I learn, the less I know. Why did I post this in the first place?? OMG just shoot me now. lol.

Why scientists are making transparent wood
Stronger than plastic and tougher than glass, the resin-filled material is being exploited for smartphone screens, insulated windows and more

Possible alternative.

Im a "gear whore" too but I prefer pool nerd. Lol Just got a Sawdust cue with carbon core kielwood. It plays beautifully with great hit and feel.
i went into the poolroom and saw all the regulars that can hardly make a ball now running out the table with their specialize shafts.
just buy the latest and greatest shafts, chalk, and shoes and your game will spiral upward to a new higher fargo rating so you can now lose most of your matches.

GAS exists in just about everything that requires a tool/implement/instrument to perform. Its HUGE in golf, people have been trying to buy a golf game since the game began. Pool is no different, i know more than one with 'poolGAS'. That 'new cue high' doesn't last long. The euphoria fades after a short time and one returns to their normal level of play. Its 100% mental and would be nice if you could bottle-n-sell it.
You sound like every other bust out who is jealous of lesser players because they can afford nice things. The reason they can afford those nice cues is probably because they work for a living instead of playing pool. You should try it then you could buy one of them fancy carbon fiber shafts.
