I am thinking about getting a Tiger X shaft for my pool cue, to use it as a snooker shaft. I want to turn it down to 10mm, coudl anyone please tell me if that would be too thin?
Thank you.

I think it would start getting into the square that's in the center...Crown City Corey could tell you for sure....

Theoretically, if it's glued up with no gaps you should be able to to turn it down to 10mm. At the tip end you will only have the core piece of wood but the shaft should feel and play normally I would guess. Unlike Predator it's wood all the way through so there shouldn't be any issue.

Thank you John.
I believe the Tiger ferrule is a bit different, I am just not sure if it will make the ferrule too thin, and/or if I can replace it machining a new ferrule myself.
Too bad we will not be seeing you doing laser engraving in Vegas this year. I am sure the Fury experience is being missed.:)
Best wishes,
Richard
