Is the shaft maple, or ash? Looks like it might be ash like the forearm. If so, i'm sure it's a stiff, solid hitter. I have a cue that has an ash forearm, and a ash shaft, and when i slap it on the palm of my hand, like a tuning fork, it has almost no vibration at the tip. Almost no deflection, and it breaks like a monster too. :thumbup:
