Thanks guys
I have one that was loaned to me to try. I thought maybe the low deflection was my imagination. It is a bit over 13mm and if I keep it I will send it back to Diveney with a butt he made me for a little better joint fit and have it made into a 12.75 mm.
Pat also said he is making LD shafts now. I will have to wait until winter to try it as there is to much going on in Alaska right now to play much pool.
So many shafts, so little time.........
