J Flowers CF shafts not straight?

[tomker]

I'm thinking about getting a J Flowers CF shaft (cue). Been reading about them as much as I can online. I came across one review saying the shaft was good but had a bit of a wobble when rolled on a table. Last night at league I noticed that a guy had one and he said he liked it, but that it also didn't roll quite straight. Not sure how common this is or how big of a deal it is. Any thoughts?

I also came across some forum posts saying that it's pretty common for carbon fiber shafts to not roll 100% straight regardless of manufacturer. I don't have enough experience with CF shafts to know if this is true or not.

I would guess that it's more to do with facing issues. If so it can be fixed by a cuemaker/good cue repair person.

If the face of the butt or shaft isn't correct it can appear to cause a wobble, but it just isn't faced correctly. The shaft itself is probably ok, though it's joint or the butt's joint may need faced.

I have a JFlowers CF cue and I am totally satisfied with it, perfectly straight, solid sound when hitting the cue ball, it looks and plays great. It is the less expensive model, the JF10-10 (wrapless) $319 plus shipping ($40 in March of this year) I haven't seen much about the cues not being straight, my cue was backordered in March, still got it in May, I worked with them several times and they seemed to stand behind their product.

Have not seen a JF shaft but all the cf shafts i have seen have been dead straight as far as i can remember. A tiny bit of wobble will not affect how it plays.
