Only god knows the differences between this one and the last one (except for the fixed joint) but this is cheaper at $400

Has anyone tried the wood grain or pearl shafts? Becues' painted shafts were terrible: even if you wore a glove they were not slippery.

I’ve tried them all from triple… I also tried cynergy/revo/go custom and many others just to give you perspective

With triple whyte I’ve tried maple, white pearl, white silver, and the raw black

Pearl is not slippery at all and as I hate playing with gloves I could not stand it… with gloves you still would feel that it’s not smooth

Wooden grain is also not slippery. Actually it’s worst than pearl. Barehands it’s unplayable even if you’re relaxed I.e no sweats and whatnot. I cannot imagine how would it feel with sweats and playing for a serious match or tourney. With gloves it’s also very rough. You can feel it

Raw black from whyte is very very very smooth. Why I said very three times? Because it’s smoother than all other CF shafts that I’ve tried. I use it without gloves and it feels so slippery even if I’m sweating. So yeah it’s good! And it is what I mainly use as well as the revo shaft…

Sometimes I don’t want too slippery so I use revo. Even tho revo is still smooth without glove but the raw whyte is even smoother.

So here you have what I think do these shafts.

I have a few CF shafts and I don’t think that the slippery of them is the issue, they are all smooth and can be played without a glove.

The issue is that CF picks up dirt fast without a glove and becomes sticky and needs constant wiping and sometimes that doesn’t help either and it needs alcohol wipes, which is too much to deal with in a middle of a match.

Of course, it is depends on table cleanliness, humidity and how sweaty your hands get.
I doubt that the Triple 60 is different in this aspect.

This aspect should not be in my opinion a factor in choosing one shaft over the other.
It’s about feel and performance that play right for you.

I'm going to call BS on that one. I use a CF shaft without a glove and I have no need to constantly wipe the shaft and I go months without using alcohol wipes. It does not get sticky at all.

good for you
my experience is different.
My first ever session with a CF shaft was without a glove and it was great.
In the middle of the second session it started to get a bit sticky, trying to remove it with a towel didn't really worked.
Third session I had a glove...
If you play in better conditions that I play in, you could experience something different, but do remember that most pros never used gloves, they hated it and used some talc if needed (so did I), but now most of them that do use CF, use gloves, trust me, it's not just for marketing...
 
Ive been playing with 12.75 30” shaft for few months now which is better than Cynergy I had before. Now I will be posting it for sale on here soon as well as the break shaft…. Soon as i recieve my new Tiger 🐯 cues

Many emails with triple 60 recently asking them for a custom build to remove glossy and why so bold with branding at the joint and more importantly that glossy area at that joint I hate. Even Fedor doesnt play with new one anymore but with the original that first came out. Its not practical when you need to extend for longer shots. Which one would you choose below?

The new Gorst shaft is built to the same specs of a custom shaft that was made for Fedor, just with branding and now available to the public.
I don’t like the branding either and the glossy part does seem weird

Longoni Nera is available with their standard pin.

Luckily the pitch is wrong for my cue.

Dieckman told me I could possibly sand the flanks a bit and Longoni and the rest could work.

Maybe so and have several shafts to experiment with but I'm gonna say NO.

Rather spend $300 on a fishing rod. Don't need any more of those either.... Maybe

You're not supposed to use talc with a CF shaft at all.

Still people are just making up excuses as to why they need one. They have no performance enhancement. What rally got me was a few week ago a handicappied person playing pool with a glove. They man couldn't do a bridge with his hand and was shooting with a mechanical bridge, but sure did have a glove on. If gloves are so good they why are they advertising them like you're not wearing one.

I don’t think that gloves are that great, they are needed in conditions where the cue can get sticky, like humid conditions.
Gloves got more use 20 years ago when all the cheap fiberglass and graphite coated cues came out, like CutTec.
CF shafts also tend to become more sticky and get there faster than wood, this is why players use them.
When I play with a wooden shaft, I don’t use gloves, unless it gets sticky and the house doesn’t allow talc. When I use CF, I use gloves.
Gloves don’t improve performance, they reduce feel and that’s why players are looking for gloves that transform the feel as much as possible. They enhance playability if the conditions are sticky without them.
 
I've never wore a glove. I find wood shafts get more sticky and quicker than any carbon shaft I've used and my hands tend to sweat.

My favorite is my Whyte Carbon that is the dull black color before they were bought by triple60.

I don’t need an excuse . They play different than wood and it’s a difference I like. If you don’t like the difference then keep playing with wood. You sound like just another old man who hates anything different or change. Btw Gloves have been around for over 30 years now because they make sense. Maybe you play in perfect conditions and don’t need one. Most of don’t and playing in the humid basement I was playing in last night would have been an issue of constantly wiping down shafts and my hands. With a glove I never had to give it a thought.
