I wonder what they mean by "slim" c.f. shaft?

I think I read they will be 12.5 mm which I DO NOT like.

On the other hand, if slim means the taper is gonna be noticeably longer than revo then they may have something.

Put a 30" to 31" shaft with a really long slim taper that starts close to 12mm that is offered in multi pins from factory and Cuetec just may have something if playability is there.

yes this needs its own thread (no pun)

the potential for screw in tips is huge imo, just wondering how this affects end mass and shooting properties

It adds about 1.0 grams to a ferrule with the new mini insert. More interestingly to me , is the way people have the same cue, but change to different tips, how they play totally different with the same setup. Including missing shots, due to either a different amount of spin on the cue ball or it is a different amount of deflection. I don't know.
Also you see people struggle with draw versus, getting too much draw all by changing to a different cue tip.

You sir have a bet. I'll give Cuetech 1 year from when they formally announce their CF shaft to also formally announce they will make it available for competitor cues.

I'll find a way to get you a dozen doughnuts:grin-square:

Bet sir !!

Dear Poolhustler: I owe you a dozen doughnuts. PM me your address and I'll send them to you.
