new shaft coating for maple shafts
- Thread starter gulyassy
- Start date
Every shaft I make is coated.jayman said:I buy a lot of cues that come with cases, about half of them have some sandpaper or scotch brite in the pouch :yikes:
I watch people sanding away all the time in bars. I just cringe at the site.
I will be very interested to see/ feel a shaft after this has been done. If it makes it harder to ding, that is certainly a huge plus.
The most interesting test for me would be to use a treated one in a bar i often go to, that uses two huge swamp coolers in the summer.
It gets so humid in there a shaft will just cling to you'r fingers.
I finaly broke down and bought a glove to carry with me just for the few times a year that it gets so sticky i cant play comfortably without it.
It does sound like a great product.
It could be worth it to me to carry an extra special secret weapen shaft just for use in times like that if nothing else.
Are you doing this to all the shafts you make now?
Jayman.
Absolutely, well my shafts anyway. I hope to have the product ready for sales but I will be taking orders.Race2-9 said:Mike;
Will you have the product at the US Open?
I really do not think the water would work.Sharkey said:so it's water?
No, It would be like spinning on your clear finish.ratcues said:You mentioned you spray it on. Can you spin it on as well?
The shaft coating will make any shaft stay clean and slick as long as it is not removed from the shaft. It is best used on new shaft wood but it will stick to most older shafts. It will not stick to wax so a new surface must be attained for the product to work properly adhering permanently. I am now in the process of testing the material to the wood stabilizers used to day. I do not know if they could possible prohibit the new material from working properly.
