Kielwood Shaft

[DieselDevilDawg]

Bought a McDermott with the G-Core shaft. Too light for me to use....I'm old school and need a heavier shaft. So some of the Kielwood shafts look good, I'm not sure how much they weigh? Let me know

You might not be happy with kielwood. The process to create them is by cooking the water out of the wood. This makes them lighter than before.

I heard Hsunami shafts come in closer to 4 ounces. My OB Phoenix shaft is 3.44oz.

Thanks for that. Do you know anyone who uses a Schmelke Kielwood?

I ordered a Hsunami shaft last year, and specified the weight at 3.9. It came in at 3.91.

how do you compare the hit to the ob1+ ?

Kielwood is stiffer, typically lighter due to the drying process

A fellow on Ebay is selling lots of Schmelke Kielwoods....He told me a 30 inch weighs 3.8 oz. I was hoping a 30 inch would weigh a little more?

I was chatting with the guy at the OB booth. I asked if 30” would be heavier. He said that a 30” shaft adds more towards the tip. Those inches are the lightest parts of a shaft.

I had a custom cue that came with a 4.5oz shaft. It felt so strange. You can have too much.
