I had this 30" 314-2 custom made by Seyberts for a Bludworth cue and had the cue sold before the shaft came back. I test hit about 10 racks after I installed a new Sniper tip and thats all the play it has seen. This shaft was built by KJ's cues for Seyberts and has the phenolic core and looks perfect! The shaft cost me 260 plus shipping and I will take the first 200 ppal or consider trades on any other decent LD shafts or cues. Thanks for looking!:thumbup:This shaft is as close to new as it gets!!!
