The most important things about a shaft are its weight & mm size/taper.
As long as the shaft falls within a certain weight ratio, then I am happy.
Over the years, I’ve spoken with many cue makers & all of them agreed.
A cue maker’s inventory of wood used for shafts is extremely important.
One of the cue makers I admire the most took the time to explain to me
how various components used to make cues aren’t just randomly chosen.
I already heard this from conversations I had with other cue makers. Hearing this
from him sealed the deal since I consider him to be a great, legendary cue maker.
