Kat,I would like to try one but most I see are too light for me at around 3.3oz - 3.60z when I prefer a heavier 4oz shaft. I have some very old tight grain maple shafts that look like 'kielwood' stashed but they are just very old growth, tight grain 'aged' maple. These shafts are on the heavier side typically weigh 4oz perfect for me.
I'm with you on the old growth.these kielwood shafts, look the same as the very old antique cues you see. Which has gone through, the same process when the sugers crystalize, over a very long time. An antique house cue,where shaft is usable. That is over a hundred years old. The Color is exactly the same.
It's very different to the bowling ally shafts, and all the old growth types out there
I played with them also. All play very similar.
As for The current Hsunami shafts. I'm sure when you order, you can request the weight, your after.
