Does not look like a Radial pin to me. More like 3/8x10 or 11.
He considers it close to a pro taper, he likes a longer and thinner stock area. Unfortunately, I am not going to divulge the maker. I hate to say this, but people try to constantly go around you despite the fact these are beyond fairly priced. It is a very high quality shaft for the money. I never try to say these are as good or the equivalent to a Hsunami for example. That would do Richard a disservice. These are a very economic priced piece of equipment with very nice quality.
Has the builder let you know the average weight of these shafts? Based on appearance, he looks like he did a nice job.
Your price is the best I’ve seen for a Kielwood shaft by far. You should draw a lot of attention. Best of luck with this thread.

Hello my friend, I always appreciate your interest. Yes, these are priced quite well and I believe the best bang you Re going to get for the kielwood buck.
Unfortunately, I do not have the weights. I should probably invest in an inexpensive scale and will do so with the next batch.
It is a wise investment to get when it comes to pool cues. I have a couple of palm sized digital scales. One stays at home and the other is stored in my car’s trunk. I think it cost me about $20 for both scales but the scales cost even less today .

Anyone still playing with wood shafts and isn’t a fan of carbon fiber for lots of reasons, well, you really should
try a Kielwood shaft. When it is built correctly, you will wonder why you didn’t try one sooner. IMO, just avoid
getting a KW shaft that’s too light or your stroke will have to change. If you try a KW shaft and it doesn’t float
your boat, it is likely the weight is too light.
Try to match the weight of the KW shaft to the weight of the shaft you are now playing with. It can be done even when your orig. maple shafts are very heavy. Find the right cue maker and they can build a clone of your current shaft but in Kielwood. You should not be disappointed with the outcome as I learned from first hand experience. I now have 3 different KW shafts with different pins so all my cues can play with a Kielwood shaft that matches my orig. shaft specs.
I tried several different brand KW shafts and the closer in weight the shafts were to my orig, maple shafts, the better the shafts played. So you may want to keep that in mind in the future the next time when trying or buying a Kielwood shaft.
