Just noticed that Kamikaze cue tip website also offers “impact” pads for carbon fiber shafts. For background, i tried using 1/16 inch leather pads several years ago. The experiment didn’t work out as I could get no draw on the cue ball. When installed under the tip, it didn’t even help “silence” the sound. Cueman warned me, but I tried it anyway. If you have had experience with these impact pads, please let us know about it. Thanks. I’m willing to try this idea again if enough people have had positive experiences with them.

Give them a try! I think you will like them. We do sell a bunch of these, as well as install several locally with excellent feedback.
It’s a proprietary material, but the material has characteristics similar to phenolic.
Thanks
Thanks for all the purchases from yesterday. We do carry these impact/sound pads in 3 different colors, with red being the #1 seller.

What size and thickness are they?
They are around 15mm diameter and 1/8 thick. They can be left thick, or faced off as thin as you want.
Thanks

Try using electronic insulation from an old radio or tv. was used years ago.

Are you talking about micarta at any rate no one should need these pads unless they have a void as in tube ferrules or ivory ferrules on wood shafts to keep the impact from cracking the ferrule
The only difference i see a pad can make is if the ferrule in this particular carbon fiber shaft is too thin , then the pad will ad a combined impact

what is the benefit of these pads .... been playing for may years and never found a reason for it. From what i understand it is good if you have an ivory ferrule

We highly recommend using loctite professional super glue. Works great!
