You’re right about snooker. The building techniques, designs and materials I’ve seen here are absolutely ancient compared to a typical U.S. cue.

The whole cuetec setup of the SVB series is $600, not just the shaft. The shaft is $400. Don't know where you are looking, there isn't any CF shaft at the $600 price range for the shaft alone.
Predator doesn't offer a whole CF cue option. I believe Becue & Go Customs are the only 2 companies offering full CF cues.
Yes- I should have been more specific. I'd be looking to buy the whole setup- hence, the price I cited.
confused now
I thought I had seen one, obviously mistaken! Might be they have been prototyping for awhile but I might be wrong there too. The danger of doing too much bouncing around shopping.

Seyberts offers the affirm to pay monthly as well if $600 too much to spend at once. I've used this service on several occasions from them.
an update
I decided to do a marathon session both to get used to the new shaft and to try to get on autopilot. Even when not thinking about pool my mind has been pretty busy while I shot lately.
Started in daylight, finished in daylight the next morning, pocketed over eleven hundred balls, not consecutively of course! One thing I discovered is that this shaft likes to bank. Not talking anything fancy, one rail straight back or crossover banks on this old seven footer with four and a quarter inch corner pockets. Definitely working on the PIITH system but that is what works for me.
If I spend a lot of time thinking about cue ball positioning I am often in trouble. If I just trust my old memories things work much better! One old problem has cropped up, getting too close to my work or running into the next ball. The solution is simple, look at where I want the cue ball to be next, not the next ball.Been so long since I have shot a lot that my end stinks are better than my knowledge.
In that all nighter my shooting got cold a few times, very cold. In every instance it was because my stroke had broken down. A little focus on stroke and life was good. No matter how the cue goes back or how far it goes back, pause, no pause, what is important in my stroke is that it starts slowly. Allen Hopkins might have been able to poke, I need to stroke for good results!
I might get to hit balls a few times but they will definitely take a back seat for the next few weeks, my plate is very full.
Ah well, just a bit of an update, I think the shaft might pay for itself if the covid didn't have so much shut down.

Yeah, I feel the same way!
I don't know how much is the carbon fiber and how much is the taper but the stick feels good! It seems to give a very clean hit. It drives through the cue ball well for lack of a better way to describe things.
I don't jump at every new thing on the market but this shaft and the cf shafts in general seem like a better mousetrap. It won't be long before most people will be using them and custom builders will be putting together butts that look good with the CF shafts I believe.

No they're not! Several posters here have made their own CF shafts, and at a very low cost too!

I know what you are describing.
I felt the same thing when I first wrote my review on my Becue.
Once you feel it, you know it.
