Greetings to all. For most new cue builders, making shafts is the most difficult part of it. I have developed a new reverse grain laminated shaft called the Impact 254. You can read all about it on my website: ckcues.com I am also offerring partials to cuemakers. The shaft will be turned to final taper, in any mm tip dimensions you prefer. All you need to do is install the joint collar, and tap it or install inserts, and install the tip and ferrule. The partial blanks come with a decal, (CK Impact 254),and as long as the decal is on the shaft, it is guaranteed never to warp, +.- (0.010), or it will be replaced free of charge. By the way this shaft hits incredible!! Email me at cueman@mtco.com for pricing, and details. Thanks, CK
